EXXILES Release Video “La Llorona”
November 3, 2014, 10 years ago
Nightmare Records has announced the release of a video from Exxiles paying tribute on Mexico’s Day Of The Dead – La Llorona is a traditional Mexican song inspired from a legend, though the storylines differ, both integrate common themes such as loneliness, despair, and the dead.
The symphonic/progressive metal band will release their new album, Oblivion, early next year. The album is being mixed by Brett Caldas Lima and Mauricio Bustamante with the artwork being created by Christphe Dessaigne (Star One, The Walking Dead book).
Oblivion is the first part of a trilogy; it will be a cinematic conceptual album and it will talk about loyalty. Loyalty should be a symbol of friendship, politics, religion, love... with lots of stories that in the end will all have the same direction... to become one. It will show how loyalty becomes weak when personal interests are involved... and in sacrificing dreamer’s dreams in order to achieve power, neither side wins. The ultimate dream was lost but not the hope.
The band and guest list includes :
- Simon Rojas
- Noel Martínez
- Mike Lepond (Symphony X)
- Chris Caffery (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)
- Zak Stevens (Circle II Circle)
- Marcela Bovio (Stream Of Passion)
