Shoegaze, grunge, and punk rockers Margaritas Podridas are ushering in a new chapter with the announcement of their forthcoming album ‘Metales Pesados’. The band has shared “Rompecabezas,” offering a powerful introduction that blends their signature raw intensity with vocalist Carolina Enriquez’s unique vocal prowess. The track captures Margaritas Podridas at their most confident, ready to parade into a new era full force. The band explains the album title: “‘Metales Pesados’ is translated as ‘heavy metals’ that’s why we picked that name. We don’t feel like the album sounds heavy metal but there are moments during the songs that feel very heavy, some mention metallic or sharp weapons because that’s how we wanted to sound. We like our guitars fuzzy and pointy enough to cut.”
The recording of ‘Metales Pesados’ proved deeply personal for the band. “The recording of this album saved me personally as I was being pulled by the demons of depression. It gave me a purpose to keep going,” they share. “The album is the angry part of betrayal, desire for revenge and healing. Being in the studio and having a safe place to express emotions helped and we really like how it came out. It is the third album of the band and we are very excited for the audience to hear it.” The studio served as a sanctuary for channeling difficult emotions into their heaviest and most pointed work yet.
