Recenze/review - CFR - Lvciferian Light (2022)


CFR - Lvciferian Light
CD 2022, vlastní vydání

for english please scroll down

Několik metrů pod zemí, v nekonečných chodbách podsvětí, je znovu pořádán starobylý rituál pro vyvolávání temných sil. Postavy v kápích stojí kolem budoucí oběti. Pentagram je nakreslen na jejím těle. Chorály smrti, chlad a nahrubo nasekaná tma. Prokletý kostel, prokletí kněží, kteří dávno opustili svojí víru. Někde v těchto místech musela být nahrávána i loňská deska mexických maniaků CFR

Stačí několik prvních tónů a hned víte, s kým máte tu čest. Je to smečka death metalových psů, která vás roztrhá na kusy. Přiková vás na zeď, vyrve vám vnitřnosti z těla a donutí vás sníst vaše vlastní srdce. Peklo existuje! Teď už to vím, když poslouchám album "Lvciferian Light".


Obřad je pořádán ve stylu kapel MORBID ANGEL, KRISIUN, DEICIDE. Samozřejmě, s krvavou jiskrou v oku a totálním nasazením a odhodláním. Pánové ale nezapomínají ani na chladné a morbidní melodie. Dostanete tak nahrávku, které nic nechybí. Má skvělý zvuk, parádní obal a ještě smrdí sírou. Mám vždycky radost, když potkám podobné démony. Dávají mi naději do budoucna. Smrtící kov nikde nezemře. Pokud zde budou kapely jako CFR, tak to ani není možné. Tahle smečka vás vezme na dlouhý výlet bez konce. Potkáte na něm nemrtvé, zahalíte svoji duši do černé mlhy. Riffy mi pronikají do těla jako ostré hřeby. Skladby postupně gradují, zadírají se mi pod kůži. Jsou jako nějaká pradávná choroba, u které postupně shnijete zaživa. Opět tu stojíme v kruhu a kostel nad námi hoří jasným plamenem. Jako tohle album, jako hudba, která nezná slitování. Mexičané hrají postaru, upřímně a nekompromisně. Umí ale vytvořit i velmi podmanivou a magicky děsivou atmosféru. Bylo mi ctí o vás napsat několik slov. Doporučuji poslouchat za tmy nebo v opuštěných ulicích vašeho města. Rád a často se dívám do tmy, rád a s chutí se k "Lvciferian Light" stále vracím. Mám v sobě totiž velké množství vzteku, šílenství a skvělého smrtícího kovu. CFR jsou nejen dobří řemeslníci, ale přidávají i kus sebe samých. Jedná se o debut, za který by se nemuselo stydět spousta starých zkušených skupin. Buďte prokletí! Temný, morbidní death metalový rituál!


Asphyx says:

A few metres underground, in the endless corridors of the underworld, an ancient ritual for summoning dark forces is being reenacted. Hooded figures stand around the would-be victim. A pentagram is drawn on her body. Chants of death, cold and coarsely chopped darkness. A cursed church, cursed priests who have long since abandoned their faith. Somewhere in these parts, last year's record by Mexican maniacs CFR must have been recorded.

Just the first few notes and you know who you're dealing with. It's a pack of death metal dogs that will tear you apart. They'll pin you to the wall, rip your guts out and make you eat your own heart. Hell exists! I know that now, listening to "Luciferian Light".


The ceremony is organized in the style of MORBID ANGEL, KRISIUN, DEICIDE. Of course, with a bloody sparkle in the eye and total commitment and determination. But the gentlemen don't forget the cold and morbid melodies. So you get a record that lacks nothing. It's got a great sound, a great cover and still smells of sulphur. I'm always happy when I meet demons like this. They give me hope for the future. The death metal won't die anywhere. If there are bands like CFR, it's not even possible. This pack will take you on a long trip with no end in sight. You'll meet the undead, shroud your soul in black mist. The riffs penetrate my body like sharp spikes. The tracks gradually build up, digging into my skin. They're like some ancient disease that makes you rot alive. We're standing in a circle again, and the church above us is burning with a bright flame. Like this album, like music that knows no mercy. The Mexicans play old-fashioned, honest and uncompromising. But they can also create a very captivating and magically eerie atmosphere. It was an honour to write a few words about you. I recommend listening in the dark or in the deserted streets of your city. I like and often look into the darkness, and I like and enjoy coming back to "Luciferian Light" all the time. For I have a great deal of rage, madness and great death metal in me. CFR are not only good craftsmen, but they add a piece of themselves as well. This is a debut that a lot of veteran old bands would not be ashamed of. Be damned! A dark, morbid death metal ritual!

A few questions - interview with death metal band from Mexico - CFR.

Answered Leonardo Camacho (vocals), thank you!

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.? 

Of course; the band was founded in 2014 – early 2015. CFR plays Death Metal.

Hugo Rivera (Guitar), Gerardo Pérez Vega (drums) and me, Leonardo Camacho (vocals) recorded Luciferian Light at BraveSound Studio in Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico. Jesús Bravo from Agony Lords, he was in charge of sound and mastering.

And CFR produced the album, we are independent.


How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)? 

300 copies were released , CD digipack version only.

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?

Most of lyrics were written by me, but Luciferian Light, it was written by Hugo Rivera, I just contributed with some ideas for that lyrics.

Beyond the Silence of Death was written by Hugo Rivera.

Serpent Skin was written by me and Hugo Rivera contributed with some ideas for this lyric.

Lyrical themes: Sickness, perversion, death, end of human race, anti-religion, and hatred.

Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important?

Brvja XIII from Querétaro, Mexico created band´s logo. About graphics, if you mean to art and layout of Luciferian Light album; Néstor Ávalos, a mexican artist and friend, was in charge. For now, i´m in chargé of the band´s social media.


Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?

CFR don´t have a record label… we are independent.

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

Morbid Angel mostly, Suffocation, Deicide, Bloodbath, Grave, Beheaded, Aborted to mention a few…


Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?

Yes we did send to some Mexican Record labels… but some of them, left us unchecked… I really don´t know what the record labels in Mexico use to select band… But for now, we´re fine as an independent band.

How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?

We haven´t really played to much… Unfortunately here in Mexico , there is a lot of favoritism and favors between big festival organizers, we wont name any of them; so it is hard to get into those festivals. And many organizers here in Mexico don´t want to pay the basic expenses for the bands, and travel expenses, some of them want the bands play for free hahaha…

We have had the opportunity to play with Escarnium (Bra), Belphegor and Gorgoroth.


What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?

For now, we,re working on new music…
