Tears of Glory is a heavy metal band with classical and progressive influences that was born in Manizales (Colombia) at the beginning of the 2000 year, when several young boys (Alexander Reinosa on the keyboards, Elkin Mauricio Avila on the bass and backing vocals, Carlos Alberto Ramirez on drums) made the decision of getting our friendship stronger, after the disintegration of our last project, a Spanish rock band. As well, the guitar player Pablo Andrés Aguilar joins this new musical intention, bearing in mind that he had already formed part of the previously mentioned Spanish rock project.From that moment, the basic line up of the new project called Tears of Glory takes place, a band in which all our likes and ideas would be shaped in order to focus on a same music genre.
The band began its way composing its first song named Melody in Flames, a single song in which some time was spent looking for a good level. This song is actually one of the two songs we had recorded in our first demo CD.Later on, due to the searching of a singer and also a clearer musical identity, we choose some songs of famous bands to make covers, trying to get better our playing process, as well as, to hear the one who would be the new Tears of Glory singer. So that, several guys and girls were heard singing kraken and Rata Blanca songs, but the searching was large and unsuccessful because the guys did not fill our expectations and the girls did not have a character and a musical identity, which made us consider for a while in being an instrumental band.Casually, in an underground concert at Pereira city, we got the phone contact of Gustavo Peña, a singer from Santa Rosa de Cabal which had previously formed part of several bands of the same genre we play. Finally, Gustavo and we noticed a good empathy between us and we agreed to hear him playing the song Flames of Revenge by Rhapsody. It was obvious; he would become the fifth Tears of Glory Member.
Tears of Glory began to take a clearer path, to plan new horizons and objects. By the year 2003, the recording of our own songs at the singers studio was started (Gustavo Peñas property). That process of recording was quite difficult for us because we were not experienced enough; however, we finally did it and our first demo CD appeared with two proper songs: Melody in Flames and Lord of the Sky.Relating to the recording, the next step to follow would be to record a Kraken band song, one of the most important bands inside the Colombian rock scene, which a tribute for its contributions will be done, and precisely on that project, Tears of Glory wanted to participate, playing an autochthonous performance of the song Escudo y Espada.
Nowadays, the Tears of Glory Project emphasizes on the recording of its first album, in order to get stronger inside the Heavy Metal scene and to give an important artistic and cultural contribution to the Colombian Metal, trying to satisfy ourselves, to those who have always been at our side during all this process and to those who want to take part of this musical proposal.
