Primitive Reason

Come to my town

From intense grooves and mellow moods to hard hitting power, Primitive Reason takes you on a sonic voyage to a concrete jungle that lies somewhere beyond the typical rapcore/altmetal/rockreggae clouds. 'Cast The Way' is the latest genre-bending offering from this transnational band (of American, Spanish, and Portuguese backgrounds) and is the reflection of the diverse cultural and musical influences of its members. Backed by a solid rhythm section that seamlessly fuses their hardcore/metal/reggae/dub/hip-hop foundation with jazz, funk, and world music influences, versatile front-man and founding member Guillermo De Llera (vocals, percussion, didgeridoo) unleashes a verbal assault that mixes rap, spoken word, screams and melodic vocals with profound lyrics.
'Cast The Way' was recently made available exclusively on-line through the band’s websites and is Primitive Reason’s first release with the revamped line-up that now includes Pepe de Souza (drums) and Ricardo Barriga (guitar), both of whom recently joined De Llera and long time band-mates James Beja (bass) and Abel Beja (guitar). This self-produced ‘Limited Edition’ EP is a prelude to Primitive Reason’s 6th album which is due for international release in the fall of 2008, year in which the band will be celebrating 15 years of existence. Unlike their previous albums (which featured multi-instrumental additions such as horns, percussions, acoustic guitars, etc.), the band decided to take a more ‘back to basics’ approach for this recording. The result is a no-frills, eclectic, and extremely potent offering from the innovative Lisbon, Portugal, based rock quintet.
For over a decade, Primitive Reason have remained true to their roots and ideals. Their innovative sound and powerful live concerts have generated many fans on the international underground music scene. Since 1996, the band has released five studio albums and toured throughout Portugal, U.S.A, United Kingdom and Spain. The band has also performed at many summer music festivals and shared the stage with an extensive list of international bands including System of Down, Tool, Audioslave, Marilyn Manson, Incubus, Deftones, and Prodigy, to name a few. Backed by a faithful and ever-growing cult following throughout many parts of the world, Primitive Reason continues to cast the way…
