Spanish psych-doom rockers Santo Rostro are back in business with their 4th studio album »Después no habrá nada« – to be released on 10th March 2023 via Discos Macarras, LaRubiaProducciones & Spinda Records, although the single »Telarañas« is coming out on 10th February. The pre-order for vinyl, compact discs and digital editions starts that same day.
Andalusian power trio returns with a dark-psych rock album, with long tracks including complex instrumental developments, processed atmospheres and a dirty sound plenty of echoes, different modulations and occasional synths.
Many things have changed in Santo Rostro since they put out »The Healer« in 2017, and this is obviously reflected in this new album. »Después no habrá nada« is the result of a more mature band, with thousands of kilometers touring both Spain and EU on their back, several TV appearances and a couple of stand-alone video-singles – and everything 100% DIY.

This way, we find ourselves with a more balanced and determined sound, with a tremendous solid and seamless rhythmic base, powerful and organic at the same time, with a dance of tempos that accelerate and slow down at the right time – there’s no clapperboard in here.
In »Después no habrá nada« you’ll find from doom to sludge, with high doses of progressive metal and even Andalusian heavy psych. It could be understood as a great mix of bands such as Viaje a 800, Adrift, Oransi Pazuzu, Mastadon or Russian Circles, but with an imprint that only Santo Rostro has. This new album is a kind of a personal delirium and hangover; with some rehearsal room taste and accumulated fatigue.
The album was produced by the band itself; then recorded and mixed by Raúl Pérez at La Mina (Spain); and mastered by Mario G. Alberni at Kadifornia Mastering (Spain). Behind the artwork is The Braves Church, based on photographies by Manu Rosaleny.
