Flechas Cardinales

by Barricada

Overview

For the first Barricada album after the departure of leader Enrique "El Drogas" Villareal, the band incorporated bassist Ander Izeta and promised to deliver a "100% Barricada album." They made good on their word on Flechas Cardinales, a return to their classic sound of melodic hard rock, as opposed to the trash/hardcore leanings of their most recent work. Producer Iker Piedrafita (a member of Dikers and son of second guitarist Alfredo, who also sings on two tracks) returns to ensure a contemporary punch, and first guitarist and co-founder Javier "El Boni" Hernandez assumes lead vocal duties -- as expected, since he used to sing half of their material anyway. Despite the absence of Villareal, who was thought to be the group's main writer and most outspoken political activist, the lyrics continue to reflect Barricada's trademark fiercely militant stance, as in the antiwar first single "Punto de Mira." ~ Mariano Prunes
