Retrosatan is a name that resonates in the annals of Argentine metal history as pioneers who helped shape the country's heavy music landscape. Hailed as the first black metal band in Argentina, their sound, when analyzed by today's genre definitions, leans more towards the realm of compelling Speed/Traditional Metal.

"Exorcizando La Cruz" catapults you back to the early '80s when Judas Priest ruled the stage. The tracks "Fuego Cruzado" and "Esperando El Final" drip with decadence and obnoxious energy but maintain a flawless execution throughout.

Each song is a meticulously crafted masterpiece, oscillating between mid-paced segments and furious speed assaults. The lyrical content delves into themes of aggression, primitive Satanism, and obliteration, resonating with a visceral intensity.

Retrosatan's music mirrors the Argentine version of Mercyful Fate, interwoven with undeniable influences from bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. This is particularly evident in the prominent guitar work, double lead solos, skillful drum fills, and the powerful old-school riffs that permeate the album.

In conclusion, "Exorcizando La Cruz" stands as a testament to the thriving Argentine metal scene of the mid-'80s. This efficient speed metal album offers a glimpse into the country's musical roots, embodying the raw energy and creative spirit that laid the foundation for a rich and diverse metal legacy.
