CULTURA TRES Release Video For ‘El Sur De La Fe’; New Album Details Revealed
October 12, 2012, 11 years ago
Venezuela’s sludge/doom act CULTURA TRES have released the video for the track ‘El Sur De La Fe’.
The video was produced and directed by guitarist Juan de Ferrari and guitarist/drummer Alejandro Londoño.
Londoño commented: “In English El Sur De La Fe means something like ‘south of the faith’. For us it refers to two things: the way religion is experienced in the area where we come from and the hidden side of the faith and its illusive benefits. We would like people to reflect on the impact religion has had on the lives of the original inhabitants of the Americas; how the Catholic church and it's covered-up, gold hungry crusade practically exterminated a culture older than Christianity itself.
In this sense, we didn't choose October 12th for the premiere of the video by accident; it is a day to contemplate and condemn the invasion and genocide that followed. Unfortunately, repressive, genocidal and extermination policies are still present in many parts of the world and in 21st century Religion is still married to Politics; and this marriage is still used to instill fear and maintain ignorance, often backed up by one of their most faithful children: War. This is what this clip is about.”

‘El Sur De La Fe’ comes off the band’s forthcoming album El Mal Del Bien, which will be released on November 12th via UK label Devouter Records. The song can be downloaded for free from their BandCamp page.
