Interview with bassist Christian Abarca Hacenos a review of the history of the band since its inception. Helker born back in 1998 as a band clearly Power Metal. We release our first album "Secret Legacy" in 2001 that will soon be re-released with some versions new sung by Diego Valdez. Then we got into a path over Heavy Metal song, heavier, more rock with what was working "resisitir". In that gap edit "DNA" and the disc are presenting "Somewhere the Circle ". We were fortunate to also edit level world through the German label AFM Records on version English. So happy and giving a little to the shows, have guns pointed to next year to see if We can give you strong all that is inside the country, that is the premise we have for the future.
Where does the name "Helker"? The first album was a concept album Power Metal where stories happening and optics we had given was that Helker was a planet. While the subject matter are the same of today, the we addressed from fantasy. So was Helker name of a planet and is clearly a fancy name.
Helker Cipolletti - December 6 at Barba Azul
Tell us this latest album "Somewhere Circle" What is so different from the previous? While the theme of the last discs is the same, for us it was very important contribution Mat Sinner, Primal Fear bassist, who took care of artistic production of the disc. We have also been fortunate to call Ralph Scheepers and Tim "Ripper" Owens to record a song, that's something we had never achieved. And the arrival, you were able to be released worldwide in English. Coincidentally, Yesterday a person went to facebook a Japanese version of the album, the truth that was a joy to see him. All this happened with the latter disk and if we add the concert we gave on 31 August in Theatre which was filled Vorterix filming the DVD, very happy documented to have left it. In looking forward to March for editing and you can see it.
Do you already have the DVD name? No, we are still discussing it a little. Shuffled some names, but we do not have definitive. We are working on audio and people in charge of the images is moving in that. Soon we will upload a preview. By March is on the street. What is the message conveyed Helker through your songs?
Generally, Helker is a band of social content. In this album was a little more timely inward, more intimate. It is more about feelings, emotions and so on, but generally we address issues that always play. Us like to talk about gardening, there are also stories. To me much not me like having great detail what each item says, because the people get an idea of what a love letter and thereby
and disillusioned when he learns what we meant. Then, I leave it to the imagination of each, but also are quite concrete. They talk about the problems that exist in Argentina and You can have anyone in the world or situations one would live. They will be on December 6 and 7 in Cipolletti in Bariloche. Very happy because I never went with many crave. Now you say, our main goal for next year is to walk within what can be more, so very please. What will be the code? For people go prepared. Let's do a review of all disks, we will not go only with the presentation of the new album. We will make a review of the entire race Helker. We always try to give long shows, so be prepared because we will have a Good Time Metal. Thank you for the support, by wave and call keep us in mind. Hopefully we can find when we go to the south. Y for all people of the south has always received us so well, big hug.
Religion kills, destroys and divides.

In any way we want to convince you of anything, much less try to change you or impose anything; only tell you that all is not lost.

MEET IN, CIPOLLETTI (01/11/2013) The day arrived, after more than 4 years that Metal Fest 2009, again saw the greatest band in the National Heavy today. Again with my brother Nacho and Patatr贸n headed to Meet, where metalheads waiting around Neuqu茅n and Black River that left everything to fulfill with Almafuerte.

"Route 76" gave way to the moment the Tano, the flu and all, would Professor of how the guitar is played ...

The rest of the band returned to the stage to play "Mi Credo", perhaps the best of show, to see and listen to the public unison singing and chanting this great song and feel that you can not explain, but you understand me. Followed "If you see me again" and "I invited Rutero" honest to say that this dress affirmed there will be for those who saw me through. Pleasantly surprised when we took all Tano guitar was the first chords of "You Are Your Safety". More could not ask. Nothing but pogueando goodbye with "Almafuerte" and "A vos Friend."

Veins of Steel presents:
Part XVIII: Year 1997 The national metal scene continued its period of trascisi贸n. Consolidated bands began to dissolve, while new bands e m p e z a b a n a c o n s o l i d e r s. The "battle" was hotly contested between Malon and Almafuerte, Rata Blanca while Nepal and recorded their u l t i sd i s m o c o s. JERIKO began to talk and to be felt Forks in the scene and showed that it was one of bands who commanded the metalhead movement s t r a l a s a l i d a d e "V e n c e". Logos stood firm until then. Surprised all disk "Peso Argento" he recorded Almafuerte with bassist of cadillacs. And they kept the bands arise, making clear this will never end: Pogrom, Pagans, Punisher, Sauron, Jason Lazarus, Athens, Buenos Aires, Avernal, Humanimal, Presto Vivace and many other ensured the existence and survival of our Metal Argentino loved.
Athens - Truths It is the debut album of this Thrash Metal band formed in the year 1995. temas.En It included 13 that time the band consisted by some members of the Coalission band.
Avernal Avernal Although this band of Death Metal formed in 1993, newly achieved released their first album in '97, the which has 9 tracks. This disc also was distributed in Germany, Spain, USA, Brazil, Chile and other countries more.
Gallows Following his departure from JERIKO, Vence Walter Meza Gallows enters as a replacement Christian recording Bertoncelli one of the best albums of the band. Songs like "Resistance", "Claws" "Argentina, your children", "Do not let iar nf lue nc "," Tier Li be ra RTAD " were part of this record. The lid is unmistakable, Osvaldo Civile spitting fire. The disc I nclu铆a a bonus track: "The Cetorca" sung by the same Civile. Epic. 路 Fashion and consumed him, his rebellion was gone, all turned against him. The lie and the truth, the search for identity, the light and the dark. " (Resisting Pleasing)
Almafuerte - In Life / Malon - Resistance Too many coincidences in the early years of these bands. The two Live released two studio albums in two years, and in 1997 they recorded both their first live album. The Almafuerte is a compilation of songs recorded at various shows around the country, while the Malon was recorded on 10 July '97 in Microestadio of Ferro. Another coincidence is that both discs include bonus tracks: "In Life" includes the songs "On Your Luck" and "From Beyond", while "living Resistance" includes the song "30,000 Prayers, "this time with lyrics (not to be confused with the instrumental" 30,000 Prayers "included in the album" Justice and Resistance "). Two great albums who remained in the history of National Metal.
Humanimal Humanimal The band recorded their first Power Metal demo with 7 own topics, including included "Like a Samurai", "Perception" and "Illusory World"
Iorio & Flavio-Peso Although the name refers only to Ricardo, Argento
the truth is that the album is all Almafuerte by the Fabulous Thunderbirds bassist Flavio Cianciarullo. This is perhaps the first record of Argentine Folk Metal history, with topics as "Back in Tilcara", "Born and Raised in South "(with intro by Ruben Patagonia) "Ramon, Indian Heretic", "Rio Paran谩" (with participation Le贸n Gieco). Also included the covers "Gil Worker" Hermetic "and metalera version of "Mal Bicho" Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. It has I was going to be a second part of this album, to be called "De Indios Latinos Latin American" and that would show Iorio and Flavio wrestling outfits.
Jason - Justiciero Second disc J.A.SO.N. (Justiciero Archaic Archaic Native Society), the band formed by Ariel Ranieri (guitar) "Tano" Maiorel (voice) Ariel Basaldua (Keyboards), Mariano Magno (low) and Diego Michel (drums). Inter alia s theme, including "Black Cloud" that would have several parts in later disks and versions of "Recital to Peace "Horacio Guarani and" Heaven and Hell "by Black Sabbath.
It JERIKO - Raped Walter Meza left the band and into Earth Instead Juan Soto, while Gustavo Cutri replaced zaba go to Die in Bla nco battery. The album contains 12 tracks; a mixture of old songs ("The End", "Busted" "Although Bloods", "Accountability" and "Under My Act ") and new songs like" In My Veins " "Live or die well", "Land Raped" and "Vanished". The band was already talking to all these temazos ad showing the Quality of JERIKO composition. The disc. Was recorded at the "Western" and produced by Claudio "Pato" Strunz which also participated in the topic "Burning in the Sky"
Logos Next to Beto Ceriotti on bass (ex Cerberus, Heinkel Demo and Clock) and Fernando Scarcella in the battery, Roldan Zamarbide band and recorded this demo two great songs "Escape from Freedom" and "Mental Confusion"
Nepal This would be the last album of the band and Manifesto have nothing to envy to the previous two. The power of the web and the unmistakable voice Larry Zavala this time combined with more melodious arrangements that gave it a ouch different disk. Disk on which involving, among other musicians, Ricardo Iorio in the release of "Released to the World Today, "and AndrĂŠ Matos (Angra). Remain in recall the songs "Kissing the Earth", "Profile Loss" and version Black Sabbath's classic "Children of the Grave". The band finally dissolved in 2001.
Rata Blanca - Rata The band led by Walter Giardino had VII a new album with a new singer Gabriel Marian. This is an album widely criticized, although I like a lot. The band changed flatly style, a very Heavy Metal Ian heavy with Mario, this Hard Rock with Gabriel Marian; power left to give step to the melody. The album was called "Rat VII", but actually only presented with a cover depicting a white rat emulating the moon and contained very good themes, as "The Story of a Boy," "Madame X", "King of the Revolution" "The Song of the Sun" and "The Box". The band would separate the following year.
Alliance For its part, the side Barilari and edited Bistolfi Alliance their second album with 12 tracks, including included "I was a Stranger", "Who are you?" and two covers: "Mujer Amante" White Rat and Spanish version of "Hold the Line" on Toto (what else choto name) band.
20 years ... Nothing 路 Since JERIKO 20 years, I'd like you to tell us how it all started. Actually since we arevain on the 21 and a half; the band started in the in '92. Just Heinkel, where Walter Meza was dissolved,
Javier Cuevas and Diego Blanco, Claudio "El Polaco" Duliba and Retrosat谩n we were playing. After they separated two, they fit together the pieces to put together a band and for Slaughterhouse mutual friend and decided to assemble and came JERIKO. 路 When formed the band, aimed to become what they are today or not they imagined?1st formation The top one always wants more. In a first you do not think it can last 22 years a band, then the human part always it worked with Claudio and Javier makes 22 who we're playing. One to the top aspires to great things, but then goes realizing that it is step by step. Record a drive, another drive, touch, tour; and had great satisfaction, we have been given very good things and still give.Over the years you start to see it differently, satisfaction felt by the mere fact of touching, seeing people has its age or less and has been dismounted, abandoned or overcame life's adversities. And today at forty you keep playing weekends, licking your beer with friends, recording disks and then goals are different. In '92 the fact record an album and it would have been a lot and today we have 8 prints, turn, we are called to play everywhere. And at our age do not chotos are old but we are not idiots, we have our obligations, keep doing what one likes to live a little of what one does is more than satisfactory.
路 Passed through several stages the band, what do you think was the mos difficult and what was the biggest jerk gave the band? The most difficult time was when John (Soto) left after record the second album by the fact that we were much standing time and it cost us a lot. We came to make a tour with Paul Di'Anno, came from a record, was a special time of the band and for those things in life Juan he went and stayed a while to get singer. Not we shot down because the band continued rehearsing, but not the same. That was a pretty strong blow to us, we cut a prawn. And the best that could happen is that Ivan appears start again, "In the Blood" was one of the key moments band. Maximiliano Zabala is the drummer of the band, a kid Young drummer, because healthy for us and the other are that has all the thrust. 路 If you had to recommend a JERIKO disk a person do not know the band, what would it be and why? I would recommend "In the Blood" because it is an album that has many issues left in people. "In Origin" is the latest album I like a lot, but I think "In the Blood" is one that contains JERIKO most representative songs. However, "Voltages" It is an album that I love. 路 Tell us the last album, how it differs from the previous ones? "In Origin" is rather crude. Little was tested, he was very touched the study, the basis of the bass and drums work hard in the study. It's an album that came out in a hurry because we had to meeting dates and arrived very pineapples. However, the result was good.
"In Origin" has the imprint of the array armed at the time, to capture the idea I crossed it at the time. Am supporter of the drives and test them arm them well, but sometimes you have to play a little with the imprint and that thing sometimes the moment is good, not always. At the time that you have the sistemita to burn discs becomes boring. "Stress" and "Earth Raped" tested ad nauseum and the last thing they made was not the kicks, but with the natural thing. If I'm honest, the next disk I would rehearse a lot to play around. 路 What is the band focused today? Today we are planning to tour the south, nothing more. We are going to Bariloche (22/11), Cipolletti (23/11) and The Cha帽ar (24/11) and we that. Next year we have a celebration of 20 years, recording a
DVD, but still missing and we have many dates in November and December 15 or 20 shows, a lot. Us up with that, step by step and always craving and itchy balls of show next week, that's the nicest thing you touch. 路 How you are going to find people? How would you describe a show of Not much return, a heavy metal band. Let's touch JERIKO? as long as possible. Many polenta, have a beer, we play, we laugh. No hair or weird stuff, a band Heavy Metal and point. Thanks for calling us, if we have a tour of the south, it is because some people want us to see and hear the band interested. More that I can not ask, only because there are people thanks so many miles away with his life, that wants to see JERIKO and pay the entry with that one is already emotionally payment. I started taking the life and music otherwise. I used to think the disc, the rowers and end the story is touching, touching Rock & Roll period. And thank life that there are people you waiting for thousands of miles, that does not pay anything.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And we hid our faces from Him, he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; and we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions crushed for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and post his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb led to the slaughter; and as a sheep before her shearers fell silent and did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and his generation who shall declare? He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, more with the rich in his death; but never did evil nor was any deceit in his mouth. When you have put your life an atonement for sin, see his seed, Yet ofit the pleased theprosper LORD to bruise he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure Lord shall in his hand. Him to grief. You will see the fruit of the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied by its knowledge my righteous servant justify many and bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and the strong shall divide the spoil, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; Having he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
