The Blackened Screamo power cell from İstanbul, Jornada Del Muerto (featuring members of The Ousted, Burn Her Letters, ria, pembe, Noisy Sins Of The Insect, Slave Training) unveils their brand new full-length “Pinturas Negras” via 11 DIY labels (Mevzu Records, No Heroes Records, Dead Red Queen Records, Fresh Outbreak Records, Friendly Otter, 5 Feet Under Records, Dingleberry Records, Pumpkin Records, Salto Mortale Seitan’s Hell Bike Punks, tenzenmen Records, No Funeral Records). Mixed and Mastered by Pete Grossman at Bricktop Recording who has an excellent discography, such as Inclination, Frail Body, Uglybones, LUCA, Crowning…
Pinturas Negras is JORNADA DEL MUERTO’s second release and represents their musical interpretation of Francisco Goya’s series of “Black Paintings”. The blackened screamo act has managed to capture a beautifully dark and worrisome atmosphere with anxiety-filled bursts of aggressiveness.

Having released a cathartic and well-written debut album in 2021, the blackened screamo act Jornada Del Muerto dedicates Pinturas Negras to Goya’s “Black Paintings” in lyrical and musical ways. 14 songs for 14 paintings.
The band took it to the next level with their new release: while the band is maintaining the short-songs-with-violent-outbursts kind of approach with their songs, it is very clear that Jornada Del Muerto has given a lot of thought to the instrumentation of their new songs as the riffing and the song structures are very on point. The band makes it known to their listeners that very diverse influences are musing their sound, and Jornada Del Muerto transforms these muses into gut-punching screamo anthems with sheer explosions.
