Maulen is a solo artist from Chile that plays a mixture of drone and experimental and this is a review of his 2023 double ep "El Miedo De Amar Pero Igual Lo Hago" which was released by Icons Creating Evil Art.
Field recordings start off the ep before introducing atmospheric sounding drones onto the recording. When clean guitars are utilized they also take the music into more of an experimental direction along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts and clear indigenous type vocals can also b e heard at t imes.
Melodic guitar leads are also added into certain sections of the recording while some of the riffs show an influence of metal. Bass guitars and drums also add in more diversity when they are introduced into the music along with some tracks also adding in more of a ritualistic and tribal atmosphere, female vocals can also be heard on a few songs and every track also sounds very different from each other.
Maulen plays a musical style that takes drone, experimental and ritualistic music and also mixes it in with influences of his metal background to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Spanish, Polish, Arabic, Persian and French and cover loss, heritage, the feeling of belonging or not belonging.
In my opinion Maulen is a very great sounding mixture of drone and experimental and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rostro" and "El Templo Mayor". 8 out of 10.
