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.

Throughout the years, men have utiizado

God's name for their own benefit,

regardless of the price (death, abuse and all violence form), forming their own religions

image and likeness, playing with the need

people, confusing, stealing, cheating,

enslaving ...

Jesus came to bring freedom, hope and justice.

The man became a hypocritical religion and

liar.

Jesus is Life!

If you're tired of deceit and lies,

if you do not encontrás meaning to your life,

I invite you to seek God and you so

staff know the truth, checking

for yourself.

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.

There is hope and output to your problem

is in Jesus Christ, He can give you the peace that

Therefore you want and fill that emptiness inside.

DO NOT GIVE UP!

greatest band in the National Heavy

achieved with thrilling guitar and every note. Time to enjoy the talents of one

of the best guitar players in the country. 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"

Veins of Steel presents:

Part XVIII: Year 1997 The national metal scene continued its period

of trascisión. 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.

Following his departure from JERIKO, 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 ncluía a bonus track: "The Cetorca"

sung by the same Civile. Epic.

· 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)

Gallows - Vence

Almafuerte - In Life / Malon - Resistance Live Too many coincidences in the early years of these bands. The two

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 Argento Although the name refers only to Ricardo,

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 Paraná" (with

participation León 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 Archaic Second disc J.A.SO.N. (Justiciero

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 Earth

Walter Meza left the band and into

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 - Demo Next to Beto Ceriotti on bass (ex Cerberus, Heinkel

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 - Manifesto This would be the last album of the band and

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 André 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.

The band led by Walter Giardino had

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.

Rata Blanca - Rata VII

Alliance - Alliance

For its part, the side Barilari and edited Bistolfi 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 in vain

· Since JERIKO 20 years, I'd like you to tell us how it all started.

Actually since we are on the 21 and a half; the band started in the

'92. Just Heinkel, where Walter Meza was dissolved,

Javier Cuevas and Diego Blanco, Claudio "El Polaco" Duliba and

Retrosatán 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.· 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.

· Passed through several stages the band, what do you think was the most 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. · 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. · 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.

· 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 Chañar (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.

Not much return, a heavy metal band. Let's touch

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.

· How you are going to find people? How would you describe a show of JERIKO?

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.

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise

Him to grief.

When you have put your life an atonement for sin, see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 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.
