Spanish post-hardcore band Vibora returned in February with their newest album Egin Ez Dugun Guztia, released on vinyl via both BCore and Zegema Beach Records as well as digitally by Vibora. I didn't realise that they hadn't been featured here before, as I could've sworn I had written about them but I first heard about them through fellow Spaniards Crossed. Both bands released a split together in 2022. Vibora have been steadily releasing music since 2019.


Honestly, the skramzphere is getting larger by the day and while we’re already more than half-way through March, keeping up is all but impossible. I can but try though. Opening with ‘Egin Dugun Guztia’, Vibora’s gentle melody subsides fairly quickly, revealing a swirling mix of screamo, metallic hardcore and semi-clean screams/deeper harsh vocals that collide, dancing in perfect harmony. It’s a blasting opener that doesn’t switch off, leading to ’Sentir Nostalgia de Cosas que Quizá Nunca Pasaron’, which is even heavier and more violent. It’s a shock if you were expecting anything lighter, but it’s also an absolute belter if you weren’t! It has everything from emoviolence to metallic hardcore/metalcore and instrumental passages. The feels are real with this one.


‘Autoestima’ scratches that itch for chaotic music in a way that usually only proper tech/mathcore can, so hats off to Vibora for being so agile and genuine. I can’t do this record justice by simply writing words on a page or screen. It needs to be experienced first hand. As I write that statement, the chugging brutality of ‘Zerbait Ona Idatzi’ takes over and with it comes utter madness. This might be the heaviest record ZBR has ever helped to release. 


In a fashion that keeps you guessing, Vibora bring the tempo down on ‘Fotos’. Not only does the tempo drop, but clean singing is introduced, nestling amongst the heaviness that wrestles for center stage. It’s a glorious song that’s way more euphoric than it should be! Crossing the album’s mid-point, ‘Blu’ initially sounds like an ambient interlude before turning into something a lot more art/math-rock like. It’s at this point I realise that those higher pitched screams remind me of many Japanese bands of the same ilk. It’s brief but I love it. 


On ‘Ezin Duzu Zure Lagunak Hiltzen Utzi’, Vibora are joined by fellow Basque musician/singer Miren Narbaiza. It all starts off with familiar heaviness, plus the addition of subtle panic chords for extra intensity.  Miren provides soothing clean singing amongst the chaos, which adds an extra layer of atmosphere that wasn’t expected. After such a gentle ending, ‘636’ shocks you into life with some properly nasty, metallic, even blackened emoviolence. Obviously, Vibora don’t keep that up for the whole time and half-way through they pause, leading to a latter-half filled with introspection and bird song. I love how they keep you guessing.


With such a strong album, reaching the final two songs comes as a surprise. ‘Nuevas Formas’ with its initial screeching feedback and the post-hardcore that follows, shows off both the brutality and the beauty that’s on offer throughout this record. Vibora wait to the very end to unleash their title-track (and longest song) ‘Egin Ez Dugun Guztia’. Rallying cries that encourage us all to be on the right side of history lead into seemingly mid-tempo screamo/hardcore, providing final closure amongst a tremendous barrage of noise.


There’s something very original and raw about this album. Vibora seem to be able to tap into a sound that crosses many boundaries musically, binding heaviness with melody and beauty at the same time. I’m going to stop over-analysing it all now and just say that it’s awesome!
