While rap, trap and reggaeton continue to be the most active genres in the Puerto Rican indie scene right now, bands like Milénica continue to explore sounds like heavy metal, alternative rock and pop rock looking to create something different which they attempt to do in their debut EP, En el Ojo del Huracán, a combination of the aforementioned sounds mixed with introspective lyrics. (cover for the EP) En el Ojo del Huracán starts with “Prefacio,” which slowly transitions into the project’s first single “Escapularios,” a heavy metal and metalcore blend that will create moshpits for some and reflection for others. Meanwhile, “Prisma” is a display of the group’s classic metal and overall hard rock influences again paired with introspective lyrics. Then “En Batalla” kicks off with a soft and easy going intro that seamlessly transitions into a hard rock and pop rock mix as the band explore the struggle of dealing with internal demons. The project closes with the title track, one that continues to explore the aforementioned sounds along with the subject of love. (promo for the single “Escapularios”) Overall, En el Ojo del Huracán presents Milénica as a new project within the rock scene, but it doesn’t do much to separate them from many others. Hopefully, their future endeavors will see them experiment with other sounds as they slowly find their voice.
