Take the sounds of King Crimson, Sabbath and Hendrix and put it in a blender and you would get something close to Dragonauta's sound. Luciferatu is a progressive classic rock album like a lost treasure out of the late 60's.

The sound/production is crisp and well thought out from all angles. Sometimes these guys are playing super heavy, overdriven with screaming vocals, and at other times it's acoustic based numbers with melodic vocals. Well I got to hand it to these cats, they outdid themselves for certain. Doom, metal, classic rock and stoner rock, these guys have an excellent take on what is going on. This album is highly recommended!

If you have the split with Los Natas, that was flour from another sack. Dragonauta really improve themselves on Luciferatu. The music is much heavier (especially the voice) and complex. The addition of a second guitar player adds a broad amount of arrangements that go from jazzy, to progressive, to psychedelic, to heavy metal. It�s not square, straight forward doom. The songs have a lot of different textures never heard by gringos (a lot of 70s Argentinean bands influences) and you can hear them from the get go. By the way, three of the tracks have English lyrics, so don�t complain. If you want to hear something different from the doom side of stoner, get this one.
