El Santo is the sophomore album by Dome La Muerte E.X.P., published seven years after their debut release Lazy Sunny Day. The uniqueness of this musical project lies in the electro sound inspired by the Spaghetti Western soundtracks and the expanded atmospheres created by maestro Ennio Morricone to accompany Sergio Leone’s cinematic imagery.
El Santo is an album conceived as an authentic soundtrack. Distorted dark blues sounds blend with canyon echoes and dreamy melodies. ‘Riding Home’ is a ride, a soundscape that gently combs the hair; ‘Lee Van Cleef’ ‘Stick Man Blues’ and ‘Rebel Face’ are timeless musical gems.
It is a concept album with a social and political background. Each song is dedicated to revolutionary characters, heroes fighting against injustice, and the establishment. Each track is a story of redemption and courage full of poets, actors, activists, Native Americans, and rebels, all “saints” in their own way.
Bonus track not included.
