Spanish screamo band Corea penned the lengthy tortures of Los Peores 7 km de mi Vida (2004), offering an innovative take on the genre with their many post-rock detours into abrasive noise and chaotic ambience. The seven-minute Cuando el Mar Pierde las Conchas open with torrential screams and guitar distortion but closes with acoustic guitar, speech fragments and assorted found sounds. The seven-minute Interrupciones instead boasts more moderate screaming and riffing, more painful than furious, but then ends with a more visceral wall of noise. La Muerte Fosiliza el Recuerdo el Grito Cristaliza la Agonia opens with warped voices and atmospheric guitar interplay but halfway it explodes in extremely violent punk fury. The eleven-minute Ofelia starts out with crunchy southern-rock and metal riffs but then turns into a repetitive ambient instrumental with busy drumming and then implodes in a coda of sheer noise. The eleven-minute Eterno en la Garganta del Tormento is even more directly influenced by Godspeed You Black Emperor and Mogwai with a lot of minimalist repetition a` la Glenn Branca in the first eight instrumental minutes before finally the screams return. The nine-minute 7 km is musique concrete: an industrial drilling noise, glitchy debris, the distorted sample of a traditional song, the noise of an electrical circuit, more distorted speech, more shapeless noise.
