Surprise!! We go with a totally different thing again. December 28th is very much the spanish equivalent to April Fools, known as "día de los inocentes" in Spain and most of LATAM. Yes, a day to have fun and laughs instead of buying and wasting money, yay!

Last year I got use of this day to ruin some old classic spanish song. This year we go with another classic but not that old. It's just around... 35 years old? And the band members are still alive!

This is "Héroes del Silencio" a very internationally known spanish rock band, and a song that is so famous, even Till Lindemann (Rammstein's singer) made his own version.

Mine is some kind of epic space synth metal or whatever. Yes, it sounds like MIDI because it's a MIDI arrangement. Vocals, however, are kinda... different.

For the video I used a bunch of graphics ripped from multiple games, mostly shoot 'em ups like Darius and Gradius but also some totally irrelevant games like Tales of Phantasia and Illusion of Gaia.

Nothing in either the music or the video is meant to make sense nor there is any moral lesson or meaning behind. It's just pure nonsense with no more purpose than having fun and hopefully bringing some well deserved laughs. I worked so hard with my recent album and serious music this year... just wanted to try something silly again. I lope you like :)

¡¡Sorpresa!! De nuevo vamos con algo totalmente diferente. 28 de diciembre es el equivalente hispanohablante al "April Fools", conocido como "día de los inocentes" en España y mayor parte de LATAM. Sí, un día para divertirse y hacer bromas, en lugar de para comprar y gastar dinero, ¡yay!

El año pasado aproveché este día para destrozar una vieja y clásica canción española. Esne año vamos con otro clásico pero no tan viejo. Son sólo como... ¿35 años? ¡Y los integrantes de la banda aún estás vivos!

Esto es "Héroes del Silencio", una banda de rock española tan conocida internacionalmente que incluso Till Lindemann (vocalista de Rammstein) hizo su propia versión.

La mía es una especie de metal sintético épico espacial o lo que sea. Sí, suena a MIDI porque es un arreglo MIDI. La voz, sin embargo, es un tanto... peculiar.

Para el vídeo usé un montón de gráficos ripeados de múltiples juegos, generalmente shoot 'em ups como Gradius y Darius, pero también otros que nada tienen que ver, como Tales of Phantasia e Illusion of Gaia.

Nada de esto, ni música ni vídeo, está pensado para que tenga algún sentido y no hay ninguna moraleja ni significado detrás. Es sólo humor absurdo sin ningún sentido y sin más intención que divertirse y echarse unas bien merecidas risas. Trabajé tan duro en mi reciente álbum y toda la música seria este año... simplemente quise hacer algo absurdo otra vez. Espero que os guste :)

«If you fall 100 times, then rise 101 times.»

I heard that sentence many times but honestly I don't know who's the author, and a simple web search brings too many varied results with no clear conclusion.

This is also that kind of project that starts as a really small, meaningless thing that somewhat grows deep on us. I just started it as an impulsive moment of inspiration for a simple and straight "Iron Maiden style doubled lead guitars" melody. It was not until more than half a year later that I tried extending these few measures of music into an attempt of a fully-structure song.

I soon noticed that had a somewhat happy and energetic vibe and "what if we go down with the mood for a moment". That's where the idea for the "bardcore?" interlude came, to later gradually go back to power metal. I then felt like this song represents very well my feelings and mood of the moment. Just like life itself, this song has its moments of falling and then rising again at full strength.

A very low-tuned industrial, electronic synth metal piece. Inspired by the depths of the sea, so production and sound may be a bit weird. Full of crunchy, muffled riffs and electronic drums combined with slightly organic elements and ambiance sounds. Nothing too complex at all.

The title is a joke with the famous Deep Purple hit "Smoke on the water" but shares absolutely no similarity with the mentioned track beyond that.

We continue our journey along with the black cat that somewhat happens to be there in our way.

And also moving out oy my comfort zone, once again. Some people mentioned a "wild west" vibe, but the actual intention was more into other type of wild. More like wild forests. And black cats, yeah.

Did you ever get lost in totally unknown territory, far away from human civilization? I did a few times, and while the idea may sound stressful there's also some pleasure on just exploring new mysterious places.

Accompanied by harp as main protagonist along with a bunch of guitars and simple drums, we are now visiting the Mysterious Lands.

Crossing the Path of the Black Cat by Unknown Pseudoartist

Nature is a wonderful place to stay in. Unfortunately, some humans are despicable creatures doing nothing but harming everything around them, including the environment and the other animal kinds coexisting with us. If nature could talk, protest and fight back...

This tune somewhat goes into that kind of vibes with a tribal feel and intense emotions. Including some catchy melodies along with the unusual rhythms.

In The Endless Abyss Of Eternal Doom by Unknown Pseudoartist

Once again moving a bit out of my comfort zone, since it's a kind of metal I'm not used to. Basically it was intended to sound like something from some ancient civilization, like metal in the old Egypt times. Lots of crunchy riffs, ethnic instruments and some simple but catchy melodies as usual.
