Album Notes & Community Reviews

The only full-length album released before the tragic car accident that claimed frontman Eduardo Benavente, 'El acto' stands as the darkest, most visceral artifact of the Movida Madrile帽a. Fusing high-speed punk with gothic theatrics, it essentially birthed Spanish deathrock and post-punk in a single, devastating stroke.
