Esperanza (Hope) is a Hardcore Metal Industrial project
formed in 2002 in the City of C?rdoba (Argentina) by
the local musician Pablo Chavez after deciding to end
his band Funeral Funny (1989-1998) and several failed
attempts to build a new one.
In 2003, with the help and collaboration of Ezekiel
Takaya (Uncouth) on vocals and Diego Estevez on bass,
Esperanza released their first E.P. entitled "El Fin
De La Oscuridad" ("The End Of The Darkness"). Works
as a special guest Carlos Gori Loncharich (Minor?a Activa,
Catarsis, Fun People, Fantasmagoria) on acoustic guitars.
The art of cover and the engravings included in the
internal book belong to plastic artist from Cordoba
Veronica A. Meloni.
In 2004, is published by an initiative of Ynsanity -
El Fanzine Digital , the compilation "Ynsanity II",
a double album with local bands, including your CD B,
song of the project.
And finally, in 2012, is published the second album
"La rEvoluci?n De Los Corazones" ("The Revolution of
Hearts"). Which is inspired by the documental film recorded
live at the Oxford Debating Society Union, the English
writer and lecturer David Icke.
The presentation of it is in digipack format of 2 bodies,
includes 8 tracks, and participate in David "El Fonsi"
Lucero (Hep?tica, Paralelo 8) on vocals, Sebastian Teves
(Sur Oculto, Fat Grass, Es Lo Que Hay) and Jos? Gutierrez
(Conejito Prieto, Sadisctic Kill, Inhumation, Viejos
Culiados) in bass, Agust?n Z?rate (Kaos Represivo, Hardlife,
Vagazos) on drums and programming and Pablo D. Chavez
(Funeral Funny, L.E.N.A.) on guitars, vocals, drums
and programming.
It also has the special collaboration of James Fogarty
(The Blacksmoke Organisation, The Bombs Of Enduring
Freedom, Ewigkeit, Jaldaboath) by a remix that closes
the disc.
The artwork and the illustrations were created in Monterrey
(Mexico), by artist Fabiola Garibaldy Iba?ez.

Currently, Esperanza is dedicated to spread the new
album, and the search of a stable line up for play at
