Megapost: Bands with Spanish lyrics

Post by Stealth » Thu Dec 03, 2009 11:46 am

The title says it all. I didn't want to include these bands in the "Underrated bands and musicians" thread, so I'm "dropping" them here. I listen to songs/bands in Japanese, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Romanian, Italian, etc. so I'm not trying to "impose" my native language here. I'm creating this topic for the sake of variety, that's all. Some of these bands have already split up. And yes, 99% of them are from Argentina. You've been warned.

- Zeldar (Argentina)
I love this band. I love the simple music and the lyrics. The singer is no Pavarotti, but he's very passionate.

Awesome '80s hard rock.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsvkVSuv4ZQ
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=1765

- Kamikaze (Argentina)
More '80s hard rock. They were invited to a tv show for children... Ah, those were the good days... I really wish they would make more children's shows with amazing guests... It's a freaking playback, but still better than nothing! Oh and I miss the vinyls!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFKJIDMcMmU
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=14767

- V8. First Argentine heavy metal band.
It kind of sucks, but it's a classic band. In fact, it sucks to the point where it's funny, at least for me. Oh and some of their lyrics complained about hippies, which is something I very much appreciate. :D Eric Cartman would like this band.
Hit song from their first album (1983): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI4NFvGqZns
Fuck you hippies!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENc40SGKJ3E

- Hermética
This was an EXTREMELY popular heavy metal band in Argentina during the early '90s. The singer rules. He has a very original voice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWPTTHIXYmQ
Yes, this is the same singer with his natural voice doing Argentine folklore (the spoken part is done by the bass player): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tudMS8wAj4

- Almafuerte
When Hermética was disbanded, its former leader created this band. He's a fucking fascist, ultra-right-wing nationalist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkk_6S8bLkA
Cover version of a popular tango: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkPguS_XGlM
More folklore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FINpDyfMypY

The other members of Hermética created this band.

Another classic Argentine heavy metal band. These guys are very religious. The singer is the one from V8.

I don't really like Mägo de Oz, but in any case, you guys can add other bands if you want. I wasn't planning on taking requests because I don't want to search for songs on youtube 24/7... 8)

So, that's a damn shame, I love them! :D

Angeles del Infierno is an outstanding Spanish metal band! Their original traditional metal songs are so damn great. :P

Barón Rojo is the greatest band all time in Spain. They played in he Marquee, London, and in Reading Festival in 1982.
They have an english version of their greatest album, " volumen brutal. If someone is interested, the band have reissued both versions in a special edition.

Mägo de Oz, Barón Rojo and Ángeles del Infierno are the cliché bands everyone knows about. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm not a fan. I wanted to post other lesser-known, newer (and in my opinion, better) bands.
My favourite bands from the ones I posted above are Zeldar, Dragonfly, Avalanch, Eidyllion, and Azeroth. Apart from their music, I love many of their lyrics.

@gonza: You're welcome, but I didn't do this for the patriotism. Check the discussion on nationalism in the "College / University thread" and you'll see what I mean.

Why is it that people always feel the need to highlight their countries' awesomeness at the expense of others and then, invariably, claim that they are proud of something they haven't done or achieved themselves?
Frankly, no one cares if you are proud of being Colombian, Spanish or Argentinian. Yes I know, I posted mainly Argentinian bands, but that's only because having been born and raised there I was obviously more exposed to them than to non-Argentinian ones. I'm glad there are many nice bands. Proud? No.

I didn't mean that, I just commented that because it's hard to find a post here on the forum talking about things I can comment. I know that you made this thread to show that there is no underrated band in the world, and so that people not knowing this kind of music can learn a little of other cultures :)
