Speed metal act Transmetal are amongthe very biggest of all Mexican rock acts. In the beginning theband was fronted by vocalist Alberto Pimentel, who featured on the1988 debut ‘Muerto En La Cruz’, produced by Dark Angels Eric Meyer,and ‘Desear Un Funeral’ EP in 1989. For their second full lengthalbum ‘Sepelio En El Mar’ the band used Dark Angel member EricMeyer as producer again. Alberto Pimentel on vocals and guitar,Bravo Juan Partida on guitar and Partida Lorenzo Bravo on bass andJavier Bravo Utresa on drums. The sound on this second album isjust like the debut album a bit muffled and raw though also quitestrong in a certain primitive way, which somehow fits the musicpretty well. I would say that the production and style-wise, it’spretty similar to the first Sepultura EP and LP minus a bit of thedeath metal influence. I always thought the Brazilians’ firstreleases didn’t have the spirit to back up the rawness of theirearly output, making it a bit sloppy and disjointed, so ‘SepelionEn El Mar’ comes across better to me than the flat ‘MorbidVisions’. The big problem here is a lot of the good material hereisn’t used effectively. Check out the rumbling opening riff to thetitle track (it almost parallels the passengers of acertain-vessel-prone-to-colliding-with-icebergs flailing aboutbefore they inevitably drown)–why couldn’t they built the entiresong around it? A lot of the catchiest parts are lost in timechanges. Pimentel’s vocals are almost too unique to describe; thebase is sort of the rough vocal style used by death/thrash bands inmore exotic locales, not overly gutteral, but not clean. But theyseem to be have been processed which at times gives the music anotherworldly effect, but at other times, hinders it. Unlike manyother thrash bands of the time, there are no lyrical meanderingsinto the realms of societal/political commentary but instead thelyrics remain exclusively focused on death (effects of, torment by,vengeance by, etc). Sepelio En El Mar’ was also recorded at thesame time with the songs sung in English. The English version wouldbe released in Usa as ‘Burial At Sea’ in 1992. This is the Englishrecorded version however Alberto Primentel has such a heavy accentthat without the lyrics sheet you might not be able to tell whetherhe is singing in English or Spanish.
