"This is an epic masterpiece that will stand the test of time and stand as the monument it is."

““Rezando Al Miedo is a groove laden masterpiece that proves Cultura Tres are possibly the finest South American Metal band currently out there. This album will surely launch them on a global scale."”

““…Yes, but also I must add to that list the phrase ‘creepy-as-hell… but in a good way’. On this, their fourth release Rezando Al Miedo, the Venezuelan 4 piece have created an darkly evocative soundscape that by parts leaves you exhilarated, unnerved and queasy… Challenge yourself, immerse yourself, and give everything you have to this album. The results are a record that you will connect with like no other.””

"The sense of threat and wrongness is matched only by the slightly hysterical joy of immersing yourself in it."

““A jewel with which Culture Tres show they are one of the most important metal bands of this damn planet, regardless of recognition they receive. It makes no difference, because the truth does not live in the number of applause.””

““Rezando Al Miedo” is the best work of Cultura Tres so far, they never cease to work and evolve in all areas, despite the glowing reviews, already rightly received.””

““...Sludge? Doom? Progressive? Forget genres – Cultura Tres did when they wrote this challenging work of art…..overall it is a grander, more intense piece of work that blurs the boundaries between the crushing might of Black Sabbath, the psychedelic overload of vintage Pink Floyd (think ‘Ummagumma’) and the eerily formless noise of Sunn 0))) – few bands are brave enough to depart so far from the traditional structures of rock ‘n’ roll (Lou Reed notwithstanding) and it is amazing how adept Cultura tres have become at neatly blending the conventional and the avant-garde so that the album flows like the river Phlegethon, burning and searing all in its path.””

““From the throbbing buzz of opening track "La Selva Se Muere" and its follow-up "Es Mi Sangre" to the solo which closes "Hole In Your Head" to the dynamic build up of "En Esta Tierra" the album opens up in a style previously unheard from the band before. It's not long before you realize that this album is a tour de force, a masterpiece even. This is their pinnacle.””

““……Cultura Tres rank among the most unique bands of their time.””

““The variation is plenty and Cultura Tres is adding a lot more doom and psychedelic parts as well as death metal pieces into their songs as before. You can hear the nineties roar in their songs! Again a strong and very varied album with that apart dark and eerie South American style throughout the album that holds up a top notch production. Very nice and diverse album!””

"This is an epic masterpiece that will stand the test of time and stand as the monument it is." 10/10 Skrik Zine (Norway)

““El Mal Del Bien” is a short album, but in its brevity lies the key – there is not a single weak moment, not a dropped note or over-milked passage. The band simply set up, unleash hell, and then vanish again before you’re even really aware of the damage that has been done.””

““I feel blind-sided by how magnificent this album sounds.” ”

““El Mal Del Bien is a musical revelation for those tired of the usual. Cultura Tres is the harbinger of the dawn of a new Doom/sludge era in South America. Outstanding!””

““Cultura Tres manage to strike a raw nerve that most new UK and US bands don't quite hit.””

““A very well-done work this second album by Cultura Tres, an incredible result of the right mix among sludge, doom and black metal, conceived with class, brilliantly recorded.””

"...Rather than battering their audience with the audio equivalent of an onslaught of noise and riff-age, Cultura Tres choose to build gradually but be not mistaken, this bands aura and energy is as heavy as they come!..." [8/10

““ El Mal del Bien is their most direct and coherent artistic statement yet. (…) The songs are so full of ideas that they could sound messy in less skilled hands, but Cultura Tres creates a cohesion that would confound many other bands. With this album under their belts it will only be a matter of time before Cultura Tres are huge.” ”

“Cultura Tres didn’t sit still on their sudden big early success, but were able to push towards evolution of their dark sound with great diversity: sludge, doom, and occasionally touches of post-metal, dark psychedelia and even folk music. (…) Cultura Tres use their dark heavy tunes not for evoking horny goats or telling horror stories but for dealing with issues in life in the tormented South American society. There’s no angry or sadistic misanthropy, there’s sorrow, incredibly rendered through clean, chant-like vocals. I got haunted by their album: these guys are “deep underground” and sound so well ….”

“Think Puya , Mars Volta and Alice In Chains meeting up in a dark alley with machetes and maracas. I love this shit!”

"This month's global metal discovery is the mighty CULTURA TRES from Venezuela.”

"The band's style of dark, gloomy riffs with swelling groove is strong, tight, and as heavy as it is unique: Tool meets South American rock!"

"The album "La Cura" contains the successful product of a long musical search: fourteen songs of voodoo-like metal that will haunt you and leave you guessing which way is out. To those who gave up on metal: this band has the rare power to make even the most jaded listener enthusiastic again."
