Founded in 2001, Asturians from Warcry<\/strong> They have become a benchmark in the world of Spanish Metal and this time, SUMMA Inferno<\/strong> had the pleasure of having an extensive talk with the band, who told us about their new badge, “Inmortal”<\/em> that went on sale a few weeks ago in his presentation at the Festival “Leyendas del Rock”<\/em>, his way of working, his opinion on politics and even on soccer.<\/p>\n

– 8 discs in practically little more than a decade. Inspiration shows when they compose. How do they manage to generate so much material and so good in a relatively short time compared to other bands?<\/strong><\/p>\n

El tema de la inspiraci\u00f3n es un proceso que es dif\u00edcilmente mensurable y mucho menos panificable, por lo menos en nuestro caso. Pueden surgir muchas ideas en un plazo peque\u00f1o de tiempo o estar meses sin que surja una, lo que s\u00ed es cierto es que hemos aprendido a localizar las ideas por las que merece la pena trabajar y eso hace que no nos presentemos a grabar con veinte canciones si no con diez y un par de reservas por si en el momento de la grabaci\u00f3n no conseguimos sacarle todo el partido a alguna de las diez “titulares”<\/p>\n

– And also composing in Spanish, without doubling down on singing in English to make your way more easily in the industry. How important is this to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the first years we thought about making a record in English to test, but time was passing and we were focused on the project in Spanish. Now we are clear who we are and what we do, doing it in English would not be the same apart from thinking that singing in Spanish is possible to succeed in Europe as other groups do in their languages, like some Germans for example.<\/p>\n

– Centr\u00e1ndonos en su reciente placa \u201cInmortal\u201d, \u00bfCual fue el verdadero\u2028motivo de grabarlo en un pa\u00eds y luego enviarlo a mezclar y masterizar a otro?\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n

Muy simple. Lo primero, confiamos en nuestro productor y \u00e9l tiene su estudio en Espa\u00f1a a menos de cinco\u00a0 kil\u00f3metros de donde viven la mayor\u00eda de los miembros de Warcry, eso facilita desplazamiento y trabajas sin estar lejos de familia, amigos, etc… es muy buen ambiente.
\nSegundo, el proceso de mezcla sobre todo y mastering es mucho m\u00e1s particular y Dani Sevillano -nuestro productor- quer\u00eda probar a hacerlo con alguien que no hubiera participado de tantas horas de grabaci\u00f3n y le diera un “vistazo” m\u00e1s fresco.
\nThird, we looked for where it could be done better and decided that Finnvox (Finland) have worked with many bands of our style with very good results, so both the producer and I went to Helsinki for fifteen days to attend, listen and rectify small mix changes.<\/p>\n

– \u201cInmortal\u201d es un disco incre\u00edble, practicamente no nos da descanso ni tiene bajones de ritmo, \u00a1es todo velocidad y poder \u00e9picos!. \u00bf Ese fue el plan inicial\u2028desde el principio?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the processes that we take the most care of and to which perhaps not much merit is given to the choice of order of topics. With this you can get many different sensations, by putting the theme softer for the end there is no cut in the middle as it usually happens in most albums that gives a feeling of more continuity, but frankly I think it is not an album especially fast.<\/p>\n

Respecto a el por qu\u00e9,\u00a0 no lo s\u00e9 , no ha habido grandes cambios digamos que sali\u00f3 as\u00ed, se que pierde “glamour” decir esto pero no hab\u00eda una direcci\u00f3n a la que seguir, casi nunca la hay por eso tenemos tantos matices de tantas influencias.<\/p>\n

– Plat\u00edcanos: \u00bfC\u00f3mo surgi\u00f3 la idea de poner al alcance de los fans por \u2028primera vez el material (“Inmortal”) en el festival \u201cLeyendas del Rock\u201d?\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a festival that was born as a purely national one that has supported many bands for years, including ours. We knew that this year with the incorporation of important European bands it would be a great showcase for the media and at the same time we had a small gesture of thanks to a festival that has always counted on us from the first year.<\/p>\n

– Cuando la gente piensa en Warcry de inmediato piensa en Power Metal \u00bfLes \u2028molesta ser encasillados en un subg\u00e9nero del metal de manera tan tajante?\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creo que la gente intenta siempre simplificar las cosas. Yo personalmente y a\u00fan a sabiendas de que s\u00ed es una influencia en nuestra m\u00fasica, no me siento como parte de una banda de “Power Metal”.<\/p>\n

What happens is that they put that label on us and it lasts, if tomorrow we made a salsa album some media or fan would say “La banda de power metal Warcry edita un disco de salsa”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

– Haciendo un poco de historia, ya tienen en su haber 2 materiales en\u2028 vivo. \u00bfQu\u00e9 tan importante es para Warcry sus shows en vivo?\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are bands that alternate one or two discs with live recordings, we think that the term has to be longer because it gives a kind of perspective of the band over time and if it is very close, the change and evolution are not so appreciated.<\/p>\n

The first DVD is from 2006 when the band was in a great moment after our fourth album and we wanted all this to be seen in a live so that all those who had not seen the band or those who could not attend a concert had a chance to see it.<\/p>\n

The last, “Omega”<\/em> The 2012 coincides with another great moment of a band modified since 2008 in a 50% with new musicians and another degree of growth at the public level, not only in Spain but with visits to various Latin American countries and today is the maximum Warcry expression on a production level stage. Normally live recordings try to catch a bit of the magic of the moment but clearly to live it “in situ”<\/em>\u00a0 it is still far above.<\/p>\n

– Warcry se ha posicionado como un proyecto de culto y sostenido por un\u2028 grueso de fans muy fieles, ya no es solo \u201cLa banda de los ex Avalanch”<\/em> and that is a burden that not all ex-members of any band can presume to have managed to avoid. How does a band grow without the shadow of its original band on top?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it is very simple, we showed in a very short time that we were not a new version of Avalanch<\/em> if not a totally different group.
\nAlthough we maintained a common origin, we went through other branches different from those of Avalanch, then, the years and the discs have separated us more and more, for which we had very little in common, now with the disappearance of Avalanch<\/em>\u00a0 It is only an anecdote, although I am very happy with the years I spent there and it was very important to my musical growth.<\/p>\n

- From Mexico and many other countries surely, the perception has been that the economic crisis in many European countries, including Spain, has been very harsh and has seriously impacted its inhabitants. How do you perceive the situation, having it first hand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very simple, the crisis has been caused by an error in the system.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I think that we are trying to get out of it without changing the system, but by restructuring the smallest levels, workers, small companies, people in general, but maintaining all the great systems that have led us to this, the stock market, banks, political systems, etc. etc.<\/p>\n

With respect to “golpe”<\/em> to society, Spain has about five million unemployed (unemployed) an unemployment rate of 26%, which together with Greece is the highest in the CEE (European Economic Community) doubling the followers and very far from the 5.4% in Germany a country that doubles us in number of inhabitants.
\nIn Spain you pay for everything, gasoline, alcohol, tobacco or cars have a high penalty for taxes. Then there are the discounts on payroll and the VAT (Value Added Tax) that is in a 21% of the value of the product, so that we understand EVERYTHING that is sold or bought in Spain that 21% must pay. If something costs 100 units you must pay 121.<\/p>\n

En Espa\u00f1a se recauda mucho por parte del Estado, pero el derroche, el robo y la mala gesti\u00f3n han llevado a una perdida enorme de dinero que los bancos se apresuraron a cubrir y por lo cual ahora tienen “la sart\u00e9n por el mango”.
\nEl pueblo ha reducido sus gastos y en muchos sitios hay graves problemas de subsistencia, el Estado ha reducido la inversi\u00f3n en sanidad y medicamentos y por primera vez en nuestra historia la tasa de mortalidad supera a la de nacimientos. La clase pol\u00edtica no ha querido o no ha sabido lidiar con el problema y ahora, quitando sus seguidores ac\u00e9rrimos, casi nadie los respeta, no hay m\u00e1s movilizaciones por que el “Estado de Bienestar”, los a\u00f1os buenos que hemos pasado nos han hecho replantearnos las acciones y tenemos m\u00e1s miedo a perder lo que nos queda que a luchar por lo que nos est\u00e1n quitando. Podr\u00eda estar escribiendo sin parar, pero bueno esto es “a grosso modo”<\/em> the situation.<\/p>\n

– Hablando un poco mas de Espa\u00f1a, y como cosas que rara vez se \u2028preguntan en una entrevista con grupos de metal pero que son curiosidades \u2028que a los fans le llaman la atenci\u00f3n \u00bfLes gusta el futbol? Su selecci\u00f3n ha tenido un ascenso mete\u00f3rico en los ultimos a\u00f1os…
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Se dec\u00eda antiguamente en la antigua Roma “Para el pueblo Pan y Juegos”<\/em> since through games and while they had something to eat the town remained calm.
\nWhen the National Team plays, a controversial law is almost always approved since the vast majority of Spaniards are glued to the television.<\/p>\n

Regarding soccer (sorry I was still upset from the previous question<\/em>) We like it, some of us have practiced it in small categories and for example in the group there are followers of Barcelona and Real Madrid but without being fans.<\/p>\n

La Selecci\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola se ha visto beneficiada de la aparici\u00f3n de jugadores extraordinarios muchos ellos del Barcelona,\u00a0 equipo que lleva unos a\u00f1os gan\u00e1ndolo casi todo en Europa. Se ha creado un estilo que es el del control del bal\u00f3n y la suerte que se nos hab\u00eda negado durante a\u00f1os parece que acompa\u00f1a. Pero esto son modas y \u00e9pocas, en el momento que ciertos jugadores desaparezcan otro pa\u00eds surgir\u00e1 as\u00ed lleva siendo desde siempre, Holanda, Alemania, Inglaterra, Argentina, Brasil etc,etc… quiz\u00e1s es el momento de M\u00e9xico, qui\u00e9n sabe.<\/p>\n

– Ahhh…Si. Retomando el tema de M\u00e9xico. Es genial e impresionante el numero de\u2028 fans que poseen en estas tierras \u00bfHay alguna an\u00e9cdota o experiencia que\u2028nos quieran comentar en alguna visita a nuestro pa\u00eds?\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many! The first time I visited the country, I was very impressed by the education and treatment. In Spain being a musician and more of heavy is like being a dangerous drug addict, scenes like Santi Novoa playing the piano in a hotel in DF would be unthinkable in any Hotel in Spain.
\nEn M\u00e9xico decir que eres m\u00fasico es como decir que eres arquitecto, realmente es muy gratificante y te hace sentir “respetado” y estoy hablando fuera del ambiente heavy. Dentro de ese ambiente se ve un calor incre\u00edble por parte del p\u00fablico\u00a0 y un cari\u00f1o inmenso, siempre he considerado que Warcry no deb\u00eda ser solo una banda, somos cinco amigos que nos entregamos a todos los niveles dentro y fuera del escenario por la bandera de Warcry por un\u00a0 sentimiento o por una forma de hacer las cosas, y eso, cierto p\u00fablico lo ve y lo nota, por eso los conciertos de Warcry son una fiesta por que a trav\u00e9s de la m\u00fasica\u00a0 derrochamos pasi\u00f3n y energ\u00eda y un p\u00fablico apasionado como lo es el Mexicano lo nota y lo vive con nosotros.<\/p>\n

– Ya para despedir la entrevista: \u00bfAlg\u00fan mensaje que quieran dejar a\u2028sus fans mexicanos?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First congratulate you for this interview because the variety in questions is appreciated and even leaving us out of the musical themes, so that even if it is in writing we can have an entertaining talk.<\/p>\n

To all our Mexican followers send a hug and tell them that they already know that we will return, we do not want to be the neighbor that you have at all times at home and that is why we let some time pass between visit and visit but we know where we are loved and it is clear that soon we will visit them.<\/p>\n
