This journey begins when I started to play guitar at 13, by the time I got 17 my friend Mauricio “El Chamaco†Perez invited me to play bass guitar in his band April Morning, I started to play with them the very first day of my audition and I played with them over 3 years, the last months with them I began to compose a few songs to play with them they were mostly death and black metal but we all arranged them to make them doom … so those were my first lessons of how to write a song,then I wrote DREAMS OF DOOM ®© and writing it all by my self became addictive, but by time issues and some school troubles I had to quit the band, never letting aside friendship with those great guys, my brothers from April Morning.By the time I left the band I had written 3 more songs for me and my first bass guitar solo, then I joined a pagan/black metal band also in bass guitar, but I didn’t last long with them cause money issues and some other reassons... BEING IN A BAND WAS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED BUT IT WAS NOT WHAT I REALLY WANTED the need of writing more, the need of play all instruments, I was weary of “group composing†of other opinions of how the fuck I am supposed to play, of how the shit fuck I am supposed to think and IF SOME ONE IS GOING TO TELL ME HOW THE FUCK I SHALL PLAY MY INSTRUMENT THERE SHOULD BE A PAY CHECK UP FRONT!!!!!… death metal was calling me , I kept writing songs, some of they died, some were never meant to see the light and I had the idea of the name I would use to baptize my project ROTTEN HEART®©…so be it , the lyrics and the music coming from my soul shall speak out all the pain people have caused me, all the insanity and hatred, all the love denied and masquerade friendships…and then shit happened, so I finally wrote the song that will justify the name I will use from now on to my project…and remember THIS IS NOT A BAND, this is just me doing what I want to do, speaking out my heart and soul free, speaking the truth of how things look from where I stand each day on the fragile edge of sanity….In the present I still play in a band called Untheme, with my friend and brother Hector Montero and Gerardo Mora from April Morning where we write the songs together as a band, as a music society…as an insane association.I will also be playing bass “insane†guitar in Red Wolf.But what you’ll hear now Is RottenHeart ®© just me playing all instruments and composing all music, playing bass solos and most important you’ll hear what lays deep within me …and not what lays deep within a band where there’s always a guy that wants to suppress the creativity of the rest of the band all defined by pride each one has conflicts with the others but hypocrisy is bigger and better evolved, the ones that have strength will prevail with their abortive ideas of music, the ones that are weak will get ass fucked by dictatorships miscalled bands…
So here is just me dealing with the pain you’ve caused me through the years of hypocrisy, once smashed by reality, hatred takes place, feeds and grows on the fake smiles, the fake friendships, the fake love.And for live performances I’ll count with the help of some friends as guest musicians, On lead/rhythm guitar and backing vocals Villasson from Red Wolf, on drums Hector Montero and I hopefully count with the appearance of Luis Pinzón on lead/ rhythm guitar…I’ll do vocals and Bass Guitar.I would like to thank my family for their endless support Mom, Dad, my evil sister Nuria, Grandpa, grandpas R.I.P Juan and Maria, Uncle Mario ( all of you thanks for being who you are , I would never trade you), Cousin Daniel, Julio Radillo and Rubén Gomez for being the first metal influences I had, Mauricio Perez for all the things you’ve taught me, for trusting me from the beginning and for pushing me to play bass guitar with the fingers and not with a shitty guitar pick, Gerardo Mora, My dear friend Vivian ( my only Toh amam!!!), Villasson ( a dick making music), Luis H , Luis Pinzón for teaching me how to use a scale! al Adan, Jerry e Irene, Mr. Tony Choy( for the advices), And at last but not the least my friend and brother Hector Montero for all the support and honest friendship through the years.Inspirational thanks to: Clifford Burton (R.I.P.) and Chuck Schuldiner (R.I.P.), James Hetfield , Steve Di’Giorgio, Tony Choy, Death, Atheist, Pestilence, Cynic, Metallica, Vivaldi, Bach, Murgsorsky, Dvorak …love and hate, life and death, beauty and ugliness, solitude and company, the people that have trusted me… and to the ones that thought I would not be able to make music by my own fucking Shove this up your ass!!!
