CABALLERO - Debütalbum im Februar & Single Premiere
Gates Of Hell Records proudly announces the release of CABALLERO’s self-titled debut album on vinyl (ltd to 400) and tape (ltd to 100), set for release on February 21st 2025.
A soon-to-be underground classic, the album calls back to the glory days of early US Power Metal from the likes Jag Panzer, Omen, Brocas Helm, and Cirith Ungol! A perfect fit next to label mates Phaëthon.
The album’s seven cuts conceptually tie together the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, drawing from that exact point in history as well as Aztec mythology. Ultimately, though, the songs are about warfare, which can be seen as a divine calling and a route to immortality for the brutal warriors on both sides of the conflict. The central figure is Mictlantecuhtli, the Aztec God of Death, looming over the two sides of the conflict, which captures an essential part of what the album is about. In the words of the band: “This album sounds like a battlefield, smells of blood and sweat and torments you with terrors both physical and metaphysical.
