TIERRA SANTA
Sangre De Reyes LP BLACK

Jolly Roger Records, black vinyl, Tierra Santa formed in 1997 in their hometown region of La Rioja in Spain. Described superficially as "Spanish Iron Maiden", same year they self-released their first album, "Medieval", catching attention mainly in their country thanks of a simple but effective sound, which pays tribute surely to Maiden first and Judas Priest then, but brings out also talent and expressiveness, helped by the use of the lyrics in their mother tongue. The band started their promotional tour playing with other spanish bands as Avalanch and Mago de Oz and also opening for Dio on his tour in Spain. By the end of that year they signed with Locomotive Music and in April 1999 the label released their second album "Legendario" and a new edition of their debut with a new artwork. Then they become more popular also outside Spain (touring also in Us) album after album, six more were released by Locomotive up to 2005: "Tierras de Leyenda" (2000), "Sangre de Reyes" (2001), "Indomable" (2003), "Apocalipsis" (2004), "Mejor Morir en Pie" (2005) and live album "Las Mil Y Una Noches" (2003). Their secret is a well balanced mix of power and melodies, the charismatic voice of Angel and the fact the line-up remained the same since their beginning, forging their own-sound as immediately recognizable. Then a long silence, before new album "Caminos de Fuego" is released in 2010, followed by "Mi Nombre Sera Leyenda" (2013), "Quinto Elemento" (2017), "Destino" (2022) and latest "Un Viaje Epico" (2024) with some line-up changes, leaving Angel (vocals, guitars) and Roberto (bass) only original members. "Sangre De Reyes" is a less fast and immediate album than the previous one but not less enjoyable, thanks to an excellent and mature songwriting and a consolidated style. "Pegaso", "La Armada Invencible", "Mi Tierra" are the faster songs from a more reasoned album, where emerges the ballad "Amor De Mi Vida". Available on vinyl for the first time.
