DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
   A reissue of the an amazing Spanish punk obscurity that came out way back in 1983, released only on tape and circulating in the decades since on shit-quality dubs, building a small but ardent cult following amongst fans of weirdo hardcore and devotees of Spanish punk rock. Nunca, Siempre appears to have been the only studio recording that Qloaqa Letal put out during their brief existence, but these eleven songs on this demo are total rippers, a haunting, tinny, noise-damaged proto-hardcore attack shrouded in the band's almost industrial-tinged production. While these songs were reissued around a decade ago on an atrocious-looking tape and CD release, this new LP from Metadona does this material right, presenting Nunca, Siempre in a stark black and white sleeve with the striking, somewhat creepy image of singer Rouky Letal skanking across the cover, cutting a formidable figure in his white pancake makeup and torn fishnets and leather attire, like some androgynous street-fiend straight out of a German Expressionist nightmare. The music itself has been properly re-mastered for this record, and it sounds terrific while keeping the band's super-abrasive sound intact. Combining an odd mix of super-catchy pogo punk, furious hardcore blasts, shambling, almost industrial-tinged dirges, and a nascent post-punk vibe, Qloaqa Letal certainly sound pretty unique here. The bass is mixed higher than the guitar, which appears as a shrill, super-distorted buzz in the background when not cutting some sinister riffs, sometimes billowing out into a fried-out, noisy cloud of amp-fuzz. Rouky's deranged sneer echoes across the album's off-kilter punk, while the songs veer from the primitive, blasting thrash of "Desesperación" to militant, drum-machine like rhythms and eerie post-punk melodies that appear on "Destroy", evoking shades of early Killing Joke. "Ya Te Vale Policía" and "Soy Un Asesino" are pure pogo bliss that have what sounds like ultra-distorted horn sections blaring behind them, while the more experimental "Odio" combines samples and squalls of sinister guitar noise over a droning bass line and repetitious, mechanical drumbeat. Dark, offbeat punk rock that smolders with a killer outsider vibe, one of the most interesting and addictive early Spanish punk bands I've come across. And I'm really in love with the demo's blown-out, super saturated, treble-cranked production quality, which combines perfectly with the sheer catchiness and energy of these tracks to turn this into a kind of infectiously poppy noise-punk. Massively recommended to anyone into weird, dark early hardcore and punk freakery. Includes a lyric insert.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
