Mar De Grises
The Tatterdemalion Express (black)
"Neither of us at doom-metal.com could believe the quality and flair oozing from the demo of that obscure, completely unknown band. Working for a known metal subgenre review site makes you the target of very variable quality demos and albums. And these young guys from Chile really stuck out like a sore thumb." These words from Kostas Panagiotu (Pantheist) are a clear example of the respected legacy the Chilean doom metal outfit Mar de Grises left behind. With a transverse aesthetic in music genres, and using the words from some of the most romantic poetry of their home country, the no fashion-effort of Mar de Grises broke the barriers of distance and prejudice and helped giving Chile worldwide recognition in the doom and avant-garde metal scene.
