The title is Spanish for "The Cold World", albeit with the accent over frío left off.
Musical style
editAfter the brief detour of the previous album Se hace por los suenos asesinos, the guitars in the album's final third ceased to be as doomy and distorted as they’d been, and almost shifted into post-rock, as vocalist Hevi began to recite the lyrics in a hoarse, earnest whisper rather than his usual bestial roar.
