Ángeles del infierno -Pacto con el diablo (My review)

Ángeles del infierno-Pacto con el diablo

             (Angels of hell-Pact with devil )


Welcome to Spain. Welcome to infernal heavy metal music and world created by those admirable, talented musicians. It's my first touch with lyrics in Spanish. I have read all lyrics and I have to say that its miraculous for my emotions and my feelings inside my mind, heart and soul because that music. When I listen to this band it doesn't make me bored because that Spanish is well adapted into every song.
Lyrics says of things like hell, devil, death, war, life, Apocalypse, love to rock, heavy metal music.
Pleasure of the heavy, hard mudic is audible here.
At the beginning, singer Juan Gallardo shows how good can be heavy metal, rock singer from Spain who sings in Spanish only. He makes excellent, fabulous, fascinating vocal melodies, mainly in choruses.
For example "Maldito sea tu nombre", "Rocker", "Esclavos de la noche", "No juegues con fuego" or "  Es un pacto con el diablo" are catchy enough songs.
Solo guitarist Robert Alvarez and guitarist Manu Garcia plays such hard and great melodies. That's really great.
Just guitars are very, very important for heavy atmosphere of this album. Mainly sound is praise-worthy. As well I appreciate bass guitarist Santi Rubio and drummer Iñaki Munita. Well done. That is a valuable performance by them as a band.
Absolutely my favourite songs are "Esclavos de la noche"-I love that chorus greatly. And lyrics too. "No juegues con fuego" and "Es un pacto con el diablo ".
I love every song due to the most interesting atmosphere for me. I think that Ángeles del infierno is one of the best Spanish bands in the world.
Really marvellous album. Heavy as metal.
