Chilean modern metal band formed at the location of “El Monte” in October 2015, declares itself without dogmas or paradigms in its musical genre, mixing different influences such as progressive metal, classical music, symphonic and psychedelic.
In 2016, they released their first album “wall of memory”, launched at the feria pulsar, special guest Ronnie Romero (Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow). For this album the band members were Chris Ureta (Guitars), Cristian Flores (Bass), Raul Rojas (Keyboards), David Quinteros (Drums) and Nico Salinas (Vocals).
In 2017, they released their second album “Given Work?” produced by Roland Grapow (“Helloween” former member actual Master Plan), who also played Guitar on Forty-Five Track. This time Ronnie Romero participated on vocal “no name” song and provided the lyrics for the song “insane”. The band members were Chris Ureta (Guitar), Cristian Flores (Bass), Edgardo Gonzalez (Keyboards), ED Espina (Drums) and James Robledo (Vocals).
In 2019, they began recording orchestral arrangements for a studio EP called “Given work sinfonico 2020” and announced the release of a 5th album called “Hecatombs”, Which has no official release date yet. The actual band members are Nico Salinas (vocals), Cristian Flores (Bass), Raul Rojas (Keyboards), Josue Guerrero (Drums) and Chris Ureta (Guitar).
All the studio album covers were designed by the renowned illustrator Claudio Bergamin (Judas Priest, Halford, Nightwish, etc.). These album covers mirrored the band´s existential and social critique in their lyrics towards humanity, represented by a child (Charly) who appears on all the covers.
The metamorphosis cover art was done by Henry Luengo (@thekrakenartworks), he continued with the child concept but under a postmodern view, the eagle was transformed into “Condor de Los Andes” as a vector vultur gryphus.
