Hi! No problem at all, it's a pleasure for me to answer your questions! Yes, 2013 was a great year, full of gigs and also I started to see some results about the last releases, a good year indeed!

All right! This could be long! Hahaha I started to sing in my 14 years old and now I have almost 43! Ok I started to sing when I was in high school until that moment I was convinced that I wanted to be an artist, you know, comics, album covers etc and I must say that I had some talent for that!

But when the music came, well…never leaves. I was in many bands but the thing started to be serious at my 18 with my first "real" concert, it was with a legendary Argentinian band called DHAK and with them, I recorded my first album called "Furia Demencial" it was at 1991 or 1992, but the first thing that I recorded in a proper studio was with another well known band of Argentina in the late 80's it was LEGION and it was a demo tape with two songs, very cool stuff and very rare to get, I'm looking for a copy too!

I also participated as a guest in many songs with many different bands I don't remember how many, but the next album that I've recorded after "Furia Demencial" was with the band AZEROTH , many years later and I don't have good memories about, and I don't like that album at all,   I was still recording the album when I left the band (of course I finished the album) then, many other projects came, HIPNOSIS (I recorded the album "Hasta el fin de los Tiempos") then EIDYLLION/SKILTRON/ANUBLAR CENTRO and now HELKER/TRIDDANA and ELECTRO NOMICON !

I was guesting in many songs as duet vocalist (highlight "The phantom of the opera" with Tarja Turunnen for her live DVD "Act 1" and with Mat Sinner in the song "Heat of the city" for his album "Touch of sin 2") I think that's all !!!

Yes! If you ask me, I'm 3 bands, equally important, different of each other, and yes, I will keep recording albums and doing shows not just for TRIDDANA but ELECTRO-NOMICON and HELKER too! We have a nice vibe between the bands and for now, nothing interrupts anybody.

I known Juan Jose from long ago, first as a talented musician in other bands, then as a student (he sings VERY well) and then as a friend and partner, he has a unique style, when I heard the guitar I know that is Juan Jose playing! He is also a genius composer and was my very first choice for the guitar player job in E-N

Yes, at the beginning of the "situation" I was cautious about the kind of things that I said, but now I have no problem to talk the real things , because some crappy attitudes taken by Emilio Souto (the "leader" of SKILTRON ) with us , money He is a guy who has a much distorted vision of the reality and likes to play as the "victim" , he tried to offer us some money to me to come back but I prefer to stay at home instead to be successful with him,  I really feel sorry for the poor guys who has to work with him, I really do.

The differences are numerous , takes as an exemple IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST both play Heavy Metal, but they don't has the same sound. HELKER sounds German and ELECTRO-NOMICON sounds American/English, different points of view, different kind of composition.

It had to do with a couple of things; first there is no other way to enter in a non-speaking Spanish market, I recorded many things in English and I have experience with that, so we wanted to take advantage of this, but, we also wanted to keep the Spanish lyrics in the Argentinian edition because here in this country, the lyrics are very important for our fans and we respect that, now everybody can choose which version prefers.

I really think that now I'm wiser speaking about singing, I think that I was my break point when I recorded the album "Hasta el fin de los tiempos" by HIPNOSIS , in that album I evolved and learned a lot there's a -before and after- in there for me as a singer. About the warming, the vocal chords are muscles and like in every physical activity you must warm up first, and warm up means well warm up , you must do this with exercises and with no effort, always in a comfortable range (depending your vocal range), there is no point in scream high to warm up, is like play a soccer match to warm up for a…soccer match! hahaha

My very first influence was THE BEATLES when a was a little kid, Lennon and Mc Cartney are my two of my favs of all time, then, the Great Freddie Mercury came and later, the mighty Ronnie James Dio enter in my life, but no less important are James Hettfield , Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson…Well , a very important character in my life!

Hahahaha, I can't deny what all this people means to me, the influence of my beloved master Ronnie James Dio it's obviously there, I really hope that one day, the people could hear beyond the obvious thing and finally can hear my true self, but could be worse…They could compare me with crappy singers!!

Mat was everything in this negotiation, everything started when our plan to get a professional producer, so our fisrt choice was Mat, we contact him and when he listened the songs, he went crazy! He accepted to be our producer and then he by himself presented the songs to AFM and, he also offers us a deal with his booking agency ITM Level 10.

I can't complain right now about anything, the 3 bands are well known and has very loyal fans, if I have to speak just for myself I will tell you that everything is fantastic ! But it's not the same for the rest of the bands , only few that are doing right and trying to grow and has a lot of talent, there are many people who listen metal, we have a crappy reach into the media and the labels are really small !
Argentina  it's a difficult place to be musician, specially a metal musician !  Most of the people spend fortunes filling stadiums and theaters for foreigner bands but don't support the local scene (I'm not included in this analysis, but I'm not thinking in myself only)

I m interested in production and I did some works, in fact, I met the HELKER's guys as a vocal producer! I really like that kind of job! It's hard but funny! I can recommend some young bands from my country that I think are very talented !
OVER MY GRAVE/AFTERDEAMS/CRISTAL NEGRO/MIRROR STAGE/CABRERO/RAIQUEN/ARRAIGO/BETRAYER and many more! Sorry if I forget someone !

Always!!! Hahaha, we are working hard on that, sooner or later we will make it! Stay tuned!

Music and more music! And shows too I hope! I'm a restless guy!!

Well, I don't live this situation like you or any European or American person, I live in a Third world country, so my reality is pretty different than yours, here the market is so small, that you can be happy if you record is uploaded for free download, because it means that the people like your work , and you have some audience, there is no market enough for earn money with the sales of your album, the most significant album sales are at the shows, not at the record stores, it's really hard to stop the illegal downloading, maybe impossible, so I think that we must ask conscience  to the fan, you want to hear the album for free? Ok do it, but if you like the band, please buy it, is the only way that we (the bands) have to exist, to make records and touring.

I'm an old guy so I will think in that I consider power metal all right?
