Barcelona has always been a hotspot for killer art, but Syberia is proving they can conjure a different kind of darkness. Starting out back in 2013 with "Drawing A Future", this instrumental four-piece has been climbing the ladder through "Resiliency", "Seeds Of Change", and a massive stint on Metal Blade for "Statement On Death". Now, Oscar Linares, JordiOnly, Quim Torres, and Manel Woodcvtter have returned to their roots, dropping an album titled entirely in their native Catalan that focuses on the literal end of the world. It is a sonic map of the void, designed by a band that has spent over a decade perfecting how to be loud without saying a single word.

"Quan Tot S’apagui" translates to when everything goes out, and that is exactly the vibe Syberia is pushing here. This is a massive, immersive trip into the passage of nothingness where the riffs are thick and the atmosphere is heavy. They have cranked up the black metal influences this time around, giving the songs a more ferocious edge than their previous material. It is a grim, introspective journey that focuses on the collapse of reality, trading in the brighter melodies of their past for something far more devastating.

The way these guys build tension is top-tier. They start off with these fragile, shimmering guitar lines that hang in the air like smoke, slowly stacking layer upon layer of noise until the whole thing erupts into a massive wall of distortion. The pacing is deliberate and they don't rush into the chaos. Instead, they let the dread simmer until it is impossible to ignore. It is a masterclass in instrumental storytelling, making you experience the end of days through sheer volume and a hell of a lot of reverb.

Even without a vocalist, the emotional impact is huge. The transition from the melodic sensitivity they are known for into these more atmospheric and intense territories shows a band that is evolving. Tracks like "Llampecs D’oblit D’uns Records En Vida" and "Naixença D’una Mort Tranquil·La" are prime examples of how they balance beauty with pure destruction. It is a dark, cold, and rewarding experience for anyone who wants their metal to provide a cinematic descent into the abyss.
