Starting out as SEDIMENTO NEGRO (Black Sediment) in 2010 in the city of Copiapó, Chile the band released an EP titled “Bajo El Sol” and then continued a few more lineup changes before landings the lineup of Maxwell Villanueva (vocals, bass), Matias Lillo (vocals, guitar) and Felipe Arredondo (drums) in 2019 when they shortened their name to simply SEDIMENTO.

Influenced by the hard rock bands of the 1970s and the stoner rock bands of the 90s like Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyussm Unida, Clutch and Monster Magnet. SEDIMENTO released its first album under its new moniker in 2020 titled ERRANTE (Errant) which featured eight tracks that ran the short running time of just over 33 minutes. "El Pacto", "Carretera" and "En Su Cárcel" are the three singles and videos that the band released and the track “El Pacto” would be featured on the “Doomed & Stoned In Chile” various artists compilation the following year.

Listening to ERRANTE is like a time warp as it really sounds like its straight out of the Palm Desert 90s of Southern California with the heavy distorted guitar riffs that are right out of the Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age playbook. While all lyrics are in the Spanish language, the musical performances are pure retro and display zero traces of creative effort. This is simply tried and true stoner rock by the numbers. While the gist of stoner rock is to craft catchy pop hooks and then amplify them with fuzz guitar and a bass and drum rhythm section, as pop hooks go SEDIMENTO doesn’t really craft satisfying results.

All in all this is a fairly generic representation of stoner rock which is fairly too common these days simply because the style is so easy to play that many bands take the path of least resistance. While creatively infused stoner rock and metal can be exhilarating, far too many of these bands have spent far too long smoking out on the sofa rather than studying the world of music and how to write catchy songs. It’s a fairly average spin this one with nothing at all that really stands out. Not my favorite style of hard rock and it totally turns me off when no creativity emerges in any shape or form.
