Gracias, salvadores del metal

Como se me estaba haciendo un poco larga la respuesta en el post, la pongo aquí y de paso aprovecho y añado un video dedicado ;)

"Hola Rubén! jeje si te he "pillado" el video, menudo personaje el Mariano este....
Gracias por lo del blog jeje

@Falgarth - Pues no, aquí no se oye el programa de este personaje, pero hace tiempo sí se oía otro.. muchos años ya.
A mí el nombre del fulano sí me sonaba de que era un mafias como los otros "salvadores y pioneros españoles del rock y metal en los 80". Y la verdad, no me extraña nada eso que dices de lo de los pedos en los conciertos de Scorpions, Whitesnake y demás viejas pasadas glorias.
Este blog lo leen más personas que vivieron esa época con más lucidez que yo en mi tierna infancia y te pueden hablar más de hombres como Mariano García (mc metal, xoio... hablad o callad para siempre XD).
Lo que no entiendo es por qué a estas alturas del siglo XXI aún siguen ahí, pensaba que ya cambiarían de trabajo o que estarían echando partidas de petanka, pero aún siguen queriendo estar detrás de todo... parece que lo de ser los jefes durante los años grandes del rock aún les siguen dando influencia y también para vivir...
Y como la mayoría de "jevis nacionales" (también llamados metalpacos) siguen viviendo musicalmente en el prehistórico... típico. Así nos vá.
A todos ellos, gracias por ponernos en el lugar musical que España merece ;)
no sé qué sería de este país sin vosotros Piratete, Marianico, Mariskero y Rafacaspa."
Dedicado a estos 4 .. y más salvadores del metal ochentero, ahí va la siguiente canción ;)

After Forever Splits up!!!

I can only say that I feel proud of being in their show in Vigo 1 year ago, and they have some of the greatest albums of gothic metal ever. The first "Prison of Desire", "Decipher" and the great last "After Forever" are good prove of that.

Forever After Forever!!

"Dearest Fans,

After nearly 15 years and with heavy hearts, we have decided to call an end to a great and exciting time as After Forever. We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished, and especially of the road we took to get here. After Forever has never been a band that repeated itself; we always tried out new things, even though many of them were certainly done at a risk. We think that that has been one of the reasons we've always enjoyed enormous support from all our loyal fans.

The break we took in 2008 made us appreciate all the more what we'd experienced. Now more than ever, we can look back on so many fantastic moments, something we never would have expected to be part of when we started the band all those years ago.

However, that break also made us aware of the fact that we can only continue After Forever with the energy, the full 110%, that we have always put into it and we've noticed lately that there is something missing. We have always been musicians who create music with lots of passion, and during the break we built up our own lives again and have been musically active and experimenting in several genres.

Although After Forever is very special to us, we feel that we have reached the point where we need to explore the world of music in each of our own different ways. Thus, we've decided to quit while we're ahead. We are sincerely proud of every CD; each album represents a unique period, and all comes together in our last album "After Forever," which made all of our dreams possible. We hope After Forever will continue to be a source of inspiration for new bands and musicians alike so that our music can live on.

As band members, but also as friends, we've experienced so very much; highs and lows, good times and bad. We'll keep supporting each other in all of our various individual projects and continue inspiring one another in making music.

Our MySpace page will be used for updates on all of these projects and of course After Forever-related news, as well.

You can be sure that this is not an easy decision for any of us. We'd like to thank all of our fans for their support, also during the break.

We know that this will be a big disappointment to you, dear fans, and it makes it that much harder for us. You have always given us your all and it was our pledge, in turn, always to give at least as much back to you for as long as we exist. In this moment, that's unfortunately just not possible, so we'd rather leave you all the albums and gigs we achieved with maximum input. We'd also like to thank Nuclear Blast, TEG and MOJO for their patience and enthusiasm, the live crew, the fan club, the fan sites and everybody who's helped in every way possible.

We'll miss you all.

Most Sincerely,


Floor, Sander, Joost, Bas, Andre and Luuk
After Forever"

A entrevista a Warcry de Mariano García

Desta vez vou ser un pouco vago, e vou colar unha noticia que visionei no foro basandere e que me pareceu curiosa? graciosa? xa non sei qué pensar... sobre unha entrevista que se lle fixo a Victor García nun programa de radio liderado por Mariano García.
Éste é un deses "pioneros del metal" en España cando todo o cotarro o tiñan manexado entre uns poucos mafias coma este mismo ou o Pirata, o Mariskal Romero ou o Rafabasa.

Lera algo sobre que é o posuidor dos dereitos de Leño e que non llos deixara a Rosendo, logo tamén que Silver o pon de impresentable para abaixo por algo que pasara con Muro fai anos, e logo pódense ler cousas como ésta que acabo de atopar.
Acabo de ler un pouco máis sobre susodicho personaje e bueno... vaia señorciño... se queredes meto algún extracto próximamente (comentade se queredes máis ;) e senón sigo á miña bola)

García vs García

Bueno, por onde iba, este foi o comunicado oficial de Warcry respecto ó sucedido no programa de radio Rockservatorio do Mr. Mariano García:

"Entrevista Rockservatorio.
Hola a todos.
Nos ponemos en contacto con vosotros para pedir disculpas a todas las personas que estaban sintonizando ayer el programa Rockservatorio de Madrid esperando por la entrevista que se iba a realizar a Warcry.
Los que oyeron lo que ocurrió en el programa creo que saben de sobra lo que más o menos allí sucedió, pero ya que después de nuestra salida de la radio se vertieron opiniones y se hicieron declaraciones sobre el grupo, creemos que es importante dar nuestra versión de los hechos.
A las 19:00 horas, hora estipulada de la entrevista, hacen acto de presencia el Road manager y parte de la banda Warcry en los estudios de dicho programa.
El entrevistador está poniendo música y mediante gestos nos viene a decir que pasemos y nos sentemos.
Saluda a Víctor García con la mano y sin mediar palabra obviando a los demás presentes sigue a lo suyo, hasta ahí, un poco de mala educación pero nada más.
Después de un rato y sin mediar palabra comienza la “entrevista” , como disponemos de la grabación en audio para que la escuchéis (está en la seción canciones del MySpace) , obviamos declaraciones, por que ya lo podéis escuchar.
Pero el final de la misma debemos explicarlo nosotros.
En un momento dado, el entrevistador se despreocupa y empieza a poner música, intentamos hablar con el, no nos responde y se limita a poner música y a subir el volumen más y más.
Nos miramos y tomamos la decisión de irnos, así que nos levantamos y salimos todo esto sin el menor gesto por parte de dicho entrevistador.
Solo queremos reiterar nuestras disculpas a los oyentes del programa, por que en todos estos años como Warcry y otros proyectos en los que hemos estado vinculados, jamás nos hemos visto en esta tesitura de tener que abandonar una entrevista.
Nos vemos en la gira.
Warcry."

E aquí deixo o archivo de audio... mi madriña como van algúns... por certo, é real, non hai coña por ningún lado XD

Kreator + Caliban + Eluveitie + Emergency Gate (Live Porto 2009-01-30)

Bands: Kreator + Caliban + Eluveitie + Emergency Gate
Day: 30th January 2009

Place: Teatro Sá Da Bandeira (Porto) PORTUGAL
Price: 20€ presale / 23€ doors

Few more than 1 hour by car... and we arrived to Porto.
Before a concert is good to have a full stomach, so first we needed to eat some of the tastiest things ever and very typical from Porto, As Francesinhas. I already want another concert in Porto for enjoying again with that dish :P:P:P
Maybe in few months again with Bal Sagoth? :P
Once we arrived, we saw the place and it was pretty amazing. Teatro Sá Da Bandeira is a big theater and it would be a total experience to attend to a Metal show in such a place like that.


When we stepped in, Emergency Gate, the first band was already playing. They are a german band that plays the typical melodeath modern power metal, I remember I've heard something about them but didnt pay too much attention, and their music in live was ok, but just the same as many others. Not very original but they showed attitude, and it was a nice warming.
What amazed me was the fantastic, boombastic, unbeliavable sound of the place.
We dream in Galicia to have such a sound in a concert, and in fact it was pretty loud, but at the end of the 3 h. 30 min. of the show I didnt have any whistle or anything annoying in my auditive faculties!
Well, going on... Emergency Gate, just ok.






The next ones were the second main reason of our trip to Porto: the swiss band Eluveitie. They are one of the most successful bands of folk-celtic metal in the last years.
At first I thought that they dont go very well with the line up of the tour. But thinking about it, I'd say that none of the bands really fit with the old school thrash of Kreator. Maybe they wanted to attract very different kind of people through different styles, I dont know.

Eluveitie started really strong with Bloodstained Ground, and people started to go mad XD
Again perfect sound, perfect performance... and I started imagining one concert of them in here (yes I know I complain too much XDD but it's amazing how things change just few km far in other country... I had a terrible envy all the concert).
People also started to come more and more and first moshings as well. Calibaners were in the middle and they enjoyed the Eluveitie show on their "hardcore style way". So, meanwhile true fans were standing and enjoying the perfect mix of melodic death and celtic melodies, others near us started to push and so on... Once I saw one feet few cm. far from my face :S XD
Thankfully, calibaners stopped a bit the moshing when Eluveitie played their most famous hymn Iris Mona from their last album. Seems the song doesnt have so speedic tempo as some of the others... good! XD


They finished pretty soon, I had the feeling they just played 5 or 6 songs and the concert just started when they left :( It was short, but truly intense and amazing. And with such a sound it was a total delight. You could hear each one of the flutes, fiddle, acoustic guitars and all those traditional folk instruments mixed with the power of the electric guitars.
Just 2 words for Eluveitie: great & short




Eluveitie - Bloodstained Ground

After few minutes, the next band coming was Caliban, a dethcore or metalcore or hardcore melodeath or moderd hardcore-death or whatever. Lots of young fans with too much accumulated stress jumped in the middle of the place and started "dancing" on their way the music of Caliban.
The band really sounded great, but their music is quite empty under my sight. I was told about Caliban, they are probably one of the most famous hardcore bands arisen in the last 10 years. In fact I dont like that style and I know them :P So.. I guess I cannot be totally objective when I say I found their show quite dull. All the songs seemed to follow the same pattern, and I couldnt make a difference in between. And somehow we were commenting that maybe if they repeat the 3rd song in the place of the number 8, people wouldnt notice XDD.



Caliban and the Wall of Death

I've just found a different sight... and the singer asking if everything is ok at the end of the song XD

So, knowing what we were about to watch... we decided to explore the theater and went to the second floor, a much calmer place for watching Caliban with all their fans moshing extremely and "dancing hardcore" (one day I will make a post analyzing the funny hardcore dance).
Up there the sight was interesting as well... and we presenced the Wall of Death the singer asked to do in an amazing perspective. It recalled me when the starting of The Lord of the Rings with the camera flying over the masses of orcs trying the knock down the elvish forces XDD
We also decided to visit the shops, drink something and make some pics with some of the Eluveitie members who were there.


We thought it would be empty, since the Caliban concert was totally full of people, but there were many as well outside, probably like us, just waiting for Kreator and avoiding the hardcorers.
It was such an interesting view that we decided to stay half upstairs and half between the public with Kreator. So, after some refreshing time, Kreator started with Hordes of Chaos.
And no stop for breathing, one by one they started to shoot with no rest at all. And in fact they did a enormous setlist:
01. Intro
02. Hordes Of Chaos
03. Warcurse
04. Extreme Agression
05. Phobia
06. Voices Of The Dead
07. Enemy Of God
08. Destroy What Destroys You
09. Pleasure To Kill
10. To The Afterborn
11. Corpses Of Liberty
12. Demon Prince
13. The Patriarch
14. Violent Revolution
15. Terrible Certainty
16. Betrayer
17. Amok Run
18. Riot Of Violence
----------------------------------
19. Flag Of Hate
20. Tormentor


Kreator shows that they are a band that doesnt need to live from the past, like many others with a setlist with 5 songs from their last excellent Hordes of Chaos. An album which is probably better than many of their classic albums, and I found more than one person that thinks the same... but we all know... we might be heretics and dont understand a bit if we dare to say the last album is better than some of those 80's.
Anyway, I missed in the setlist some songs like People of the Lie, Impossible Brutality, Leave This World Behind or something from their Endorama album, which they totally avoid.



They had a screen behind all the show which showed videos for everyone of the songs, some very cool like the first one which we could see for Hordes Of Chaos and the next Warcurse.
Kreator - Hordes Of Chaos




And they showed they are a great and experienced band as no one over the scenary. Mille Petrozza's voice is not the same as in the CD but he has a lot of charisma. They were a bit static, for example, the bassist stayed most of the concert with that slow-time headbanging, and the other guitarist was quite stuck in the place but the show was great.
The theater was totally full in the 1 hour and half Kreator played, and ambient was unbeliavable. Porto's public is so participative that always I go there they made me to feel envy of that place :)
3'5 h. of pure brutality!
Kreator - Betrayer




By the way, the card in my cam was auto-erased and I lost all the pics and videos I had. Thanks to my friend I could put here more pics and upload some vids to youtube. Finally I recovered some with a pc program, but it really is a bit scary that it happens when I dont have a second cam :S


Funny moment in the parking when leaving Porto... when we found a huge queue of lots of people who wanted to take the car at the same time. Is it usual at 00:00 AM that everybody wants to go out of the parkings? what happens in Porto at that hour???

Muito obrigado :P

Enuma Elis - Sabrewulf

My own cover song of the Sabrewulf theme in the Killer Instinct videogame. Sound is not totally ok, I think, but I tried in a fast symphonic black metal kind of style.

Funny video + cover song 15

Back to all the FV + CS compilation

Learn how to dance, dance good!!

The first song is the Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter soundtrack!! XDD


Ram Jam is a 70's american rock band and creators of the famous song "Black Betty" (1977). Bill Bartlett, guitarist leader of Ram Jam took a song from the blues-folk composer Leadbelly (1885-1949) called Black Betty wich was just 1 min. long and arranged and remade it making the popular song we all know.
Ram Jam - Black Betty

Spiderbait is an Australian rock band who have had two top ten albums and another three albums reach the Australian top 40. Their song "Buy Me a Pony" was #1 on the Triple J Hottest 100 for 1996, and the group enjoyed success with their 2004 #1 Australian hit cover of "Black Betty". They started in 1992 and the last release is a greatest hits compilation in 2005 after 6 albums.
Spiderbait - Black Betty

Unha das principales razóns polas que escollín este black betty foron ambos videos (a versión de Spiderbait tamén me gusta bastante :P) pero o video de Ram Jam... qué despliegue! eu paseime a maior parte do tempo ríndome entre o baixista-que paaaaxa, o outro do fondo á izquierda espernexando que parece que pillaron a un puesto de ácido na calle para facer bulto (aihg que anos 70... ollo que por veces parece que se vai caer de verdad XDD) e o cantante tal cual Giles en Bad Taste con pelos largos XDD.
Logo ta o trasfondo, unha casa na que os dueños parecen estar á dereita cos brazos cruzados "a ver cándo acaban estes hippies co video este no noso jardín" e cerca tamén as harleys coas "nenas" que bailan cando lles vén en gana XD
Aparte ¿non parece coma si grabaran 1 minuto e repetiran as imáxenes unha e outra vez? XD

Logo está a cousa de... a ver qué grupo de rock se atreve ahora a sacar un single con casi 2 minutos de solos!!!!
