Track by track

1-Point of departure: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) Is afraid that it marks " the beginning of the trip " of the group so much to musical as lyric level, since it gives to understand the title of the song. Of entry it stays in clearly the experimental intentions of the band on having fused ethnic climates in the style of the Australian duo Dead Can Dance with the most penetrating power German metal and up to passages pop intelligently applied to the lyrics that mention nostalgic moments, pain and many ire. Bruno Aguzzi's participation in choirs,tenor sax and different instruments (ocarina, didgeridoo, etc.) they perform supreme importance.

2-The always and forever: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) From the opening of the song sentences that the limits of the band are infinite. With the first half of the song with Pink Floyd's reminiscences, where the honest lyrics and raw brand a constant trend to the distrust and his consistent sorrow,drift in the second powerful half where the power metal of Finnish cut becomes present.

3-Moonson: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) A wonderful climatic song that transmits a lot of melancholy and describes an eternal errant and Bohemian trip.He possesses the participation of the singer Sonia Saravia as invited whose voice, with influences rock/blues, gives "a new color", not only to the band but to the kind in general

4-Southwest tango (Grey melodies): (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) One of the maximum experiments of the group when fuses the tango of the old guard with the new (Astor Piazolla) and passages of hard rock up to power metal. The verses refer to the traditional neighborhood where there was born the vocalist, cradle of the tango and of different artists, as well as also of great industrial activity up to coming to the decadent current situation in both fields.Here a guest of luxury takes charge of the piano: Aldo Saralegui, recognized tango musician around the world.

5-The tree steps of circle: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) Without any doubts the creative peak of the digest. This song of thirteen minutes is divided intentionally in three parts(reports): first so called " The disguised words ", set of instruments with influences ambient and new age. The second, called " The announced end " where he passes for one of the darkest and heart-breaking album moments,when the vocalist recognizes " to have touched the bottom " With his depression. And finally the third report: " Fury resurrection " mixing progressive metal, power metal, death metal, atmospheric rock and up to Flemish with "airs" of rumba. Here the versatile vocalist realizes of having re-arisen from his mental well and to reaffirm it there uses an incredible variety of voices that go from the melodic thing up to voices death and black.But the central topic of the lyrics is to categorize a circular vision of the life, in consequen ce everything returns to be like initially

6-Existential fear: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) Another song where the originality goes out afloat. In this occasion after a chilling intro the band gives free rein (once again) to their eclectic search on having supported these dark atmospheres fusing them with a traditional pace of the folklore of the north of the Argentina recognized like " cueca norteña " and up to some pinch of "zamba". The tenuous voice that describes a constant state of Insecurity and frustration meets altered by the powerful one " in crescendo " to derive in senses shouts...

7-While the rain cries: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) The most epic song of the whole album, with memorable melodies of piano and guitar and an interesting vocal work, though also there is place for a rest of the strongest to emotional level. Undoubtedly some one of the topics that will catch immediately the more traditionbal fan of heavy metal.

8-Road to self: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) Is the song that name gives to the first album of the prominent band. A beautiful ballad with vocal unforgettable melodies, which point to be the classic one in his heard first one. It possesses the participation of another guest of luxury: the extraordinary vocalist of metal, rock, pop and jazz Max Ditamo, in choirs.

9-Last minute bells: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) Another impressive song. The darkest and depressive of the disc where there are described the moments previous to take the decision to commit suicide. A very strong song that manages to include the unique and indescribable climates, very in the vein of the current style of the Norwegian group Ulver. Surely we are in presence of an unforgettable song.

10-Rose of the swamp: (music and lyrics: Guido Lisioli) The end of the album with another most beautiful song which beginning with a felt introduction of piano immerses us squarely in classic other one to the instant.
In this one topic there can estimate clearly Gothic passages that derive in a refrain hardrocker, proved that ends up by resembling the wonderful German band,Lacrimosa . All that meets guaranteed by the honest letter where he comes near to question to the love as feeling in yes same, to end being rectified across a personal experience.

The concept

SOUL APART is a band whose musical limits are infinities. Leaving in clear that the central axis is the metal; from there the band fuses with different musical styles of popular kind of the entire world, always standing out passages and melancholy and introspective climates. The name of the band has a double meaning: the first one refers to the way in which they are written and they interpret the lyrics where the author "removes" his soul of inside, he sets apart it of his body so that he speak with absolute uprightness. The second, narrowly connected with the first one, he refers to as the author he is seen and composer inside the company whose system they generate their depressive state of spirit. Surely this cuts of the concept be the one that identify the fans that have these feelings of anguish by personal experiences, exclusion by having other opposite ideological values to the hegemónics and frustration by trying to be inserted to survive economically in a system that detests. It is so the composer undertakes a trip to the fund of his soul to channel his depressions and to transform into music.Another aspect that wants to be reflected is their character of melancholy bohemian, a traveler that travels through many lands, many cultures but persists their vision on the world consequently their state of spirit and their subsequent appreciations on the life, inside this cultural and economic empire. And here it is where the inclusion of other popular styles of different parts of the world takes a greater meaning (to the margin of the musical challenge). This without any doubt will do that followers of all parts of the world sit down attracted and identifying with the personnel and innovative band. Without any doubt the demand and the bet of the band is very large since we are before something completely new in the world of the metal, although they can be cited an extensive spectrum of bands as influence that go from Iron Maiden or Angra to Lacrimosa or Anathema passing for Vintersorg, Empyrium or Ulver. But the end of the so much band in the present as to future is to be able to cover different currents of the metal with subtle popular rhythms,intelligently fused. Although it would be unjust not to emphasize some very heterogeneous influences outside of the metal as Pink Floyd, Dead Can Dance, Rush, Astor Piazzolla, Pat Metheny, Farías Gómez, King Crimson, IQ, among so many other. The objectives are clear: to be able to conquer the international market to be able not only to give him a fresh air to the metal (since without any doubt this disk début "Road to self", represents this sensation) but also to position to the scene Argentina in the remainder of the world of the metal.

Welcome...to the home of pain

Welcome to our blog.This will be the middle of information about the activities, plans, dates, etc. of Soul Apart. Above all we begin doing a brief outline of the history of the group. Soul Apart was born at the end of the 2004 when the singer, keybordist and composer Guido Lisioli begins to compose its first songs for this new project oriented in the first instance toward a facet but acoustics and instrospective of what came developing at that time in the band Firewood of which formed part, band that was centered in the heavy/power with progressive elements.Already entered the 2005 Guido calls to the keybordist "Keky" González(ex-Firewood,ex-Dinastía Real and former-Hechizera) and to the guitarist "Edu" Fonseca (Mentes a mil, Mammon, Duo Vieytes tango, former-Ars Nova, among so many other). While Guido goes veered a little its original facet, since in its new compositions begins to utilize various own elements of the metal with different popular rhythms of the world, enters to the band the talented one instrumentist Rodrigo Goçalvez (Marian Farías Gómez, El duende Kichua, Carlos Rivero Trio, former-Polyvalente, and a without end but), in this case being taking charge chiefly of the under.This fact without any doubt would mark to Group: to mix different sides of the metal with popular music of the entire world but maintaining always the initial dark and melancholy concept. While the band could not find the person indicated to be take charge of the rhythmic part and percusive of the same one, Guido decides to give beginning to the recording of a demo at the end of the 2006, but then was considered firmly to abandon this plan to lead to the recording an album.And is so during the 2007 the band was dedicated to record this album called "Road to self".Aside from finishing with the long search of the position of drummer/percussionist. Said placed would be occupied by Alejandro Moore (Duende Kichua, Tamsurpike, The Bs. Ace. Blues Band, former-Fury of Masas,etc.). Finally in September of the current year was finished to record the expected "Road to self", while the band plans different dates to diffuse the flaming album.

I have here a brief but forceful and illuminating reviews of the band.Surely there will be news to the brevity.
