I remember hearing this band 10-15 years ago when they had a great album out. Does anybody know anything about them? Are they still active, how many albums and so on? It wasn't exactly metal, if I remember correctly, but at least hard rock and very good. I had a CD that I listened to a lot and then a mate borrowed it and it disappeared :angry:
I found some web sites through Google but all are in Spanish which means I don't understand a word :(

I can remember one song of them, "Entre Dos Tierras", who was a good rocker (at least in my opinion ;)).
According to the italian Wikipedia, I just found that the band broke up after releasing the live album "Parasiempre" in 1996.
The studio albums are five:
"Héroes del Silencio" (1987?-maybe an EP?)
"El Mar No Cesa" (1988)
"Senderos De Traicion" (1990)
"El Espiritu Del Vino" (1993)
"Avalancha" (1995)
 
This band is AMAZING! They are Spanish hard rock, but one of the best IMO. Like Abandon said, "Entre Dos Tierras" is one of their best while my personal favorite is "La Chispa Adecuada" a ballad, but a good one. "Heroe de Leyenda" is good too. I only have El Espiritu del Vino and a pirated copy of a "best of" hehe, but I hope to get more when I go to Mexico in the summer. Next summer that is.
 
I only have "Senderos de Traicion" and I don't think it sounds like hard rock, just rock. Very good indeed. I must find that old tape and listen to it again.
 
Well, here's the thing Syl. To me "Rock 'n'Roll" is 1950's/60's rock 'n' roll. Elvis, Fat Domino, Buddy Holly, etc. To me, most, if not all rock after the Beatles is "Hard Rock", long gone are the simple songs and lovy dovy themes and in come heavier guitars and darker themes in come the Led Zepplins and Deep Purples and so on. That is why to me, Heroes del Silencio are Hard Rock, they are more like AC/DC than Elvis. To really see the difference you would have to listen to Mexican Rock 'n' Roll. Mexico's best rock bands are Rock 'n' Roll bands, not Hard Rock bands. Rock in Mexico is stagnant, it hasn't evolved SINCE the 50's. There a few bands here and there but there isn't a movement, generation or wave of any kind entering Hard Rock or even Metal. At any rate, we might just be spliting hairs, but that is why I call them such.
