Rata Blanca (English: White Rat) is an Argentinean band that is showing the world, one show at a time, that Buenos Aires knows how to rock…hard. Since their inception in the late 80s, the heavy metal band currently consisting of Adrian Barilari, Fernando Scarcella, Walter Giardino, Guillermo Sanchez and Danilo Moschen continue to travel the world to play their live shows for their fans (with the exception of the three year hiatus that they took).
I’m not really a heavy metal fan, and I only speak English, which is why it is actually really interesting to watch Rata Blanca’s live set. I’ve been to a few metal shows, as per request of my friends, but to witness a metal show done entirely in Spanish seemed to redefine my opinions of the genre in general. I guess it was because I could see the complexity of the genre if you take away the meanings (lyrics) of the song and concentrate entirely on the instrumentals. With only the flashes of the spotlight on the band, your really couldn’t get a good look of the band, but damn is there sound massive. It is an in your face heavy guitar, heavy drums experience.
