An old review I did of Red Wine's Cenizas. It's a shitty review, not actually what I wrote—this one was heavily edited by the owner of the previous site I reviewed at.

Quote:

Well, this was a strange CD to sit through. Red Wine is a Spanish power metal band and unlike many bands from non-English-speaking countries, Red Wine has opted to sing in their native tongue. A respectable choice, but one that makes it difficult for those of us who do not understand Spanish to enjoy the album completely, leaving the lyrical side of the album a chore to sit through and follow. Unfortunately that’s not the only problem here. Cenizas is Red Wine’s fourth full-length album, releasing an album a year since 2001’s Hijos Del Despertar. The music is a typical form of power metal we’ve all heard by a multitude of other bands from every corner of the world, but let it be known that this band is on top of their game musically. Still, the songs are rather mediocre, but could be better if the vocalist was not so mind-piercingly annoying. Mario Suarez’s vocals aren’t necessarily bad in a skill sense, but his tone just rips through my brain like a buzz saw leaking rubbing alcohol. Of course, my ears might just be too sensitive when it comes to his stab-your-brainstem frequency. You may like it, though, if you’re looking for a low carb King Diamond. All opinions on the vocals aside, in the end with better vocals you would still have a mediocre album by a band playing a style of music a million other bands are playing and playing a lot better. It is a decent album and it has its moments musically, but falls quite a distance short of being anything spectacular. I would suggest you give this band a shot—because every band deserves that regardless of what a reviewer says—but check them out before investing money in their music. If you like what you hear, then by all means pick up their album(s).

I always loved Red wine, but i really wanted to hear the songs sung in English. Sorry :( . Them and avalanch I would probably have purchased. The only genre I usually go outside of english would be Black metal (I dont understand them no matter what language :lol:

)

So did I, I'm always interested hearing some new stuff. Most of the songs sound really good, just have to get used to the spanish language :lol:

Man Warcry owns! This is damn good stuff.

Great thread and cheers! I think Muro and Silver fist are among the best. I also like Tierra Santa and Mago De Oz.

dreaming_h · **Posted:** Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:17 am

but do not forget Mago De Oz, a Spanish band with Folk, Rainbow, Traditional METAL influencies. It´s mz favourite Spanish Metal Band. check them out

Great thread, I have a load of bands to check out here. The only spanish metal band I've heard more than a few songs by are Tierra Santa and they're a great band. That Baron Rojo song was frigging awesome, I might have to get my hands on that album :dio:

I like spanish metal because I've been studying spanish for the past 5 years so I can actually understand some of the lyrics.

Heh, I know The_Voice can't stand Mago, that's probably why he didn't include them. I love them, but I can see why many metalheads don't. Their latest album was pretty much half folk metal/half folk rock/pop. Fiesta Pagana is my favorite song by them. Some of their songs are so damn catchy it's not even funny.

The only album i really like from Mago De Oz is Jesus De Chamberri, there are some great tunes on that album but after that all of their albums have been like this: one or maybe two good songs, a bunch of gay ballads and some bastardized covers (you just dont change Ritchie Blackmore lyrics to fit your gay concept album!), their last decent album was Finisterra, and yes ill have to admit that Fiesta Pagana kicks ass, but IMO Gaia and Gaia II are a freaking joke.
