Tierra Santa - Sangra De Reyes (2001)

After having to rely on YouTube for Tierra Santa's third album, I was able to purchase this next one, and believe it is their best to date. In fact, I'm quite warming to this band, after not being overly excited by their first couple of efforts.
It's still not an instantly melodious listen, but there's a resonance about the record that I find appealling, partly because, I think, the guitars sound so beautiful, right from the opening track "David Y El Gigante" (David and Goliath?), and that is carried on throughout. Other highlights include "El Laberinto Del Minotauro" (something about a Minotaur's labyrinth, I would think) and the concluding "Sangre De Reyes".
I haven't been sure whether I want to stick with Tierra Santa or not, but they are winning me over, so they're going to continue to be a part of this blog for the time being.
As long as I can continue to find their work.
