From the Westword:
"When you call your band “The Bull of Death,” you have to excuse people for thinking you play some variety of metal-core. This Colorado Springs quintet is almost as far removed from that kind of thing as possible — except that a couple of these guys were once in heavy-as-heavy-can-be bands such as Thruster. You wouldn’t know it from the delicate instrumentation and harmonies that make up the music of El Toro de la Muerte (due at the Larimer Lounge on Saturday, April 11). Sounding a bit like an indie-rock version of Supertramp, replete with a diverse array of instrumentation, this outfit trades in a richly appointed pop that borders on symphonic without coming off as pretentious. Despite the group’s menacing name, its music is as gentle and smart as it is well honed."
From the Dallas Observer:
"And last, but certainly not least, we've got El Toro De La Muerte. Probably my favorite of the bunch and probably the most experienced as well, these guys combine crafty songwriting with a certain je ne sais quois -- like you feel like you've heard a band that sounds just like them before, but you can't quite place exactly who that band is. Either way, they're pretty rockin'. And they throw one hell of an annual Halloween show/party. "
Hope to see you at the first big metal show at the all new Redstone with headliner 20XII joined by AKA, Grimoire, and Cry of a Giant this Friday Sept 25th at 8pm.
1970 is the jam! Keep writing and recording please. Wanna put together another show in Denver in the fall? We may want to venture south for a trade-off show in Oct or Nov with you dudes. Either way, thanks for the tunes. (Smiling)
