"Their latest and best album up to date (2003). This band is back on their feet and won't fall again for a very long time (let's hope). In this album you can find all sorts of songs: power metal masterpieces (La cancion del guerrero, En el nombre de Dios?, El amo del camino); slow ballads (Volviendo a casa, Cuando la luz oscurece); average rock songs (Abeja reina, Lluvia Purpura).
The other songs are also great, if not I wouldn't give it 5 stars. If you know at least 2 words of Spanish, listen to them. Their style is more or less like Kamelot, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody and others on the lighter side of power metal."

They are back and better than ever!!!!

"Rata Blanca most famous line up is back, well... without the drummer. This album kick ***!! This band from Argentina is the best Spanish Classic Metal band. Mr. Walter Giardino proves that he is the best latin guitarist in history (eat your heart out Malmsteen!!) and Adrian Balilari is considered the "Bruce Dickinson" of spanish metal.There are many tracks that could become spanish metal classics, like the opening track "El amo del camino", this one is a furious and intense rocker. Their single "Volviendo a Casa" brings back memories from the best days of RB in the 80s.If you like Heavy Melodic Metal this album will ROCK you, even if you don't understand a word of it (in spanish)."

Rata Blanca, best metal band in Latin America

"For all those of you who haven't heard yet about Rata Blanca, you don't know what you are missing! It's definitely the best heavy metal band in Argentina, and probably in all Latin America. The guitar player, Walter Giardino, is awesome, and Adrian Barilari, the singer, is regarded as the latin-American Bruce Dickinson. This band has been around for many years, and you should probably check out all their albums. I reccommend the following songs (not in El Camino del Fuego): Mujer Amante, Leyenda del Hada y el Mago, Guerrero del Arco Iris, Solo por Amarte...
Now, as for this particular album, it is somewhat different from the rest, but still great. "Volviendo a Casa" is the most popular one, but my favourite is "En Nombre de Dios". It's very powerful and they play an organ in the chorus... Beautiful! Actually gives me the chills... Then, you have "El Amo del Camino" , which is a rocker, very different from what the band had been playing until now. "Lluvia Purpura" looks like it should belong to a seventies album, weird... but great. "Cancion del Guerrero" is typical Rata Blanca. "Cuando la luz oscurece" is a beautiful ballad, the typical song in which the lights go out, and everyone holds their lighters up high. The rest of the album is also great! You won't find even one filler...
Give it a try! Download some songs, and you'll see what I'm talking about... Totally worth buying!"
