February 22, 2011, 13 years ago
ASESINO bassist and vocalist Maldito X - rumored to be PRONG/MINISTRY/STATIC-X bassist Tony Campos - has the following to say about his guest lead vocal work for the song 'Sigo Siendo El Rey', which will appear on Satánico Dramático, the new album by Los Angeles extreme metal band DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS:
"Sigo siendo el rey, cabrones! Y si no le gusta a Chente, que se vaya a la verga, a llorar y llorar."'Sigo Siendo El Rey' can be streamed in its entirety here.
Fans of traditional Mexican music will be quick to note the lyrical allusions to the song 'El Rey', made famous by The King of Mexican rancheras, Vicente "Chente" Fernández, who - as a young boy - was inspired to sing by Pedro Infante, an actor and singer from the Golden Age of Mexican cinema.
'El Rey' was written by one of México's greatest singer/songwriters, José Alfredo Jiménez. Click here for lyrics and an English translation. Click here to view a video of Vicente Fernández performing it live.

The song was co-produced by Walker himself and features Scott Carlson of grindcore legends REPULSION on background vocals.
