Desartico plays stoner/doom metal and rock from Zaragoza in Aragon, active since 2019 and evoking the dry, sun-baked character of the Ebro Valley through fuzz-drenched heaviness. Their name — a Spanish portmanteau of desert and Arctic — captures the temperature extremes of both their sound and their homeland.
