Con nombre de guerra

The song *Con nombre de guerra* by Héroes del Silencio emerged from a period of sonic exploration for the band. After their debut, they felt that the sound of their first album, El mar no cesa (1988), did not fully capture the energy they displayed in their live performances. This desire to better reflect their live intensity influenced the recording of Senderos de traición, the album to which this track belongs. The production by Phil Manzanera at Madrid’s Kirios Studios aimed precisely at that connection, and the subsequent mixing at London’s Metropolis Studios, handled by Keith Bessey, helped shape a sound that blended elements of gothic rock, pop, and hard rock, with references to bands like The Cult and The Mission.
