One of Chile’s longest-standing and most stubborn death metal acts, Cancerbero were formed in Valdivia in 1987 and survived two decades of splits, reformations, and lineup changes to arrive at their second full-length with nothing but contempt for modernity and a total devotion to the earliest, most primal death metal. Recorded at Sala Lautaro in Concepción, Reconquering the Throne of Death opens with the extended Chaos Descends (Intro) / Impious Prophecy and immediately establishes its allegiances: this is old school death metal in the spirit of Possessed, early Death, Morbid Angel, Asphyx, Celtic Frost, and Messiah, with South American ferocity baked into every riff. Eight tracks in thirty-five minutes — Impending Doom, Extermination, Devastating Force of Evil, Evil Incarnate, Triumph of Darkness, Hellhound (The Return) — brutal, direct, and completely uninterested in post-millennium trends. The production carries a rough, organic edge that only reinforces the old school atmosphere, and the vocals are deep, harsh, and unrelenting. For fans of Sadistic Intent, Pentacle, Mortem (Peru), and all South American death metal that keeps the faith with the genre’s most brutal origins — and a document of genuine pride for the Valdivian underground.

Uno de los actos de death metal más longevos y testarudos de Chile, Cancerbero fue formado en Valdivia en 1987 y sobrevivió dos décadas de separaciones, reformaciones y cambios de lineup para llegar a su segundo full-length sin nada más que desprecio por la modernidad y una devoción total al death metal más primario y temprano. Grabado en la Sala Lautaro en Concepción, Reconquering the Throne of Death abre con el extenso Chaos Descends (Intro) / Impious Prophecy y establece inmediatamente sus lealtades: esto es death metal old school en el espíritu de Possessed, Death temprano, Morbid Angel, Asphyx, Celtic Frost y Messiah, con la ferocidad sudamericana incorporada en cada riff. Ocho temas en treinta y cinco minutos — Impending Doom, Extermination, Devastating Force of Evil, Evil Incarnate, Triumph of Darkness, Hellhound (The Return) — brutal, directo y completamente desinteresado en las tendencias post-milenio. La producción tiene un filo rugoso y orgánico que solo refuerza la atmósfera old school, y la voz es profunda, dura e implacable. Para fans de Sadistic Intent, Pentacle, Mortem (Perú) y todo el death metal sudamericano que mantiene la fe con los orígenes más brutales del género — y un documento de genuino orgullo para el underground valdiviano.
