White Stones launch "Vencedores Vencidos" lyric video

Opeth bassist Martín Mendéz’ second musical playground, White Stones, proudly releases their third studio album, “Memoria Viva”, via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) today (vinyl: August 9th). The nine tracks continue Mendéz’ own approach to progressive death metal, and take listeners into a soundscape which is even graced with impactful Spanish lyrics this time. Another perfect example of White Stones’ unique creations is their adaption of “Vencedores Vencidos”: The song’s introduction seduces fans with rather positive melodies alongside Martín’s clocklike bass playing before Eloi Boucherie’s firstly whispery vocal patterns pull each and everything in – to just never let them out of this driving maelstrom again.

“PATRICIO REY Y SUS REDONDITOS DE RICOTA is a band that had a great impact on my youth. They’re a mythical Argentinian rock band and very well known all over Latin America, in particular in the 80s and 90s. ‘Vencedores Vencidos’ is one of their all-time classics and I feel honoured to have a cover by them on our album!”,

states Mendéz.

Eloi adds:

“‘Vencedores Vencidos’ is one of the great classical hits from the Argentinian rock music scene, and it was a real challenge and unforgettable experience to make a cover of this immortal song. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did reinterpreting it.”
