5 stars Sigilu is a experimental/art rock band formed as a duo by Nacho Cuesta (vocals/vocals), formerly of Tierra de Cinco Minutos, and Pablo Saavedra (guitar/drums), from the indie pop band Técnicas Manuales. They currently perform as a trio, including bassist Ángel Boquete (drums).

Although they claim to be influenced by '70s progressive music and Tool, their sound is far from that of a so-called retro- prog band. As can be seen in the opening track, "Neuropa," which kicks off with an explosion of extremely distorted bass and a harmonizing vocal, this is a work with a distinctive and stimulating style, similar to the internationally known "Brutal Prog," where passionate post-rock/metal simmers and concentrates, while downtempo/dub/noise rock/hardcore are seamlessly blended. On the other hand, the vocals are surprisingly song-like, and along with the Spanish singing, can be considered a variation on the symphonic progressive/heavy metal that the Mylodon label specializes in. A band to watch, and a magnificent album, "Beta."
