Neither permission nor forgiveness. Sharp guitars, drums revving up, an iron-muscled bass, and a fiery voice. The wait, made more bearable thanks to the multitude of concerts in which the band has solidified its position as one of the greatest in our country, is over: Arde Bogotá present new music, and they do so with a claw, a roar, an explosion, a surge of power and forcefulness, of impact and epicness, of intent and personality.
A riff that's here to stay, capable of being hummed and chanted with equal energy, opens 'Instrucciones,' the first preview of what will be the third LP from the Cartagena band, following the EP 'El tiempo y la actitud' and the celebrated full-length albums 'La noche' and 'Cowboys de la A3'. With this composition, Antonio García, Dani Sánchez, Pepe Esteban, and José Ángel Mercader demonstrate the evolution of a sound that, without losing its essence, finds new and exciting avenues of expression, skillfully pressing the accelerator and embracing a captivating darkness. With lyrics that invite us to discover a story full of mystery and attraction, a vibrant instrumental framework, and one of those choruses destined to be celebrated from the first listen, 'Instrucciones' proves that Arde Bogotá's rock heart beats stronger than ever in this stage of a career already poised to reach new heights.
The wait, no doubt about it, was worth it.
