Senderos de traición

When Héroes del Silencio set out to record their second album, Senderos de Traición, they sought to capture the energy of their live performances in the studio, something they felt they hadn't fully achieved with their previous work. This album, released in 1990, was conceived in Madrid's Kirios studios, with Phil Manzanera at the helm of production, and then traveled to London to be mixed by Keith Bessey at Metropolis Studios. The result was a sonic proposal that fused elements of gothic rock, pop, and hard rock, creating an introspective atmosphere that resonated with the era. Specialized publications noted influences from bands like The Cult and The Mission in their sound.

About the album

Senderos de traición, according to DoReSol

Senderos de Traición marked a turning point for the band, becoming their first number one in Spain and opening doors in international markets by being the first album to enter the sales charts in Germany. Songs like Entre dos tierras and Maldito duende became benchmarks of this work, showcasing the band's evolution. The composition of all tracks was handled by P. Andreu, J. Cardiel, J. Valdivia, and E. Bunbury, who in the Hispano-American edition would sign under the name E. Ortíz de Landazuri.

In 2009, the Spanish edition of Rolling Stone magazine recognized the importance of Senderos de Traición by ranking it as the second-best Spanish rock album of all time. This album, recorded in 1990, not only consolidated Héroes del Silencio's career nationally but also laid the groundwork for their international projection, demonstrating clear sonic and compositional ambition.
