Here is an interview which we all want to know a little more about this great album !

Thank you very much ! My friend for this opportunity!





¿Now  Cinthya stay as alignment Mystica Girls? ¿What is the future of the band ? ¿What are your plans ?
 I'm on guitar , Mon Laferte on vocals, Yolanda on drums and Kathy Whitewolf on bass. We are very excited because this new album ( Gates of Hell ) we plan to do an international tour. We are still in talks, but Europe and the U.S. we are strong possibilities. Our intention with this album is to reach new markets, but also to surprise and pamper our dear and loyal fans . We made a great effort to provide a high quality product and is the result of years of work and experience .

 ¿Tell us, how the new album came up, How do I get the idea?
Make a good album is a lot longer than most people imagine process. As you say , it all starts with small ideas that can add up and grow, like cells that are forming a baby. We wanted to do something that had a profound message that was both dark and fun , and it was expressed with the greatest musical quality. A first idea that you were adding many other , sometimes surprising and almost "magic " ways. Indeed the ideas " come " as if they were sent from some higher place . It is a beautiful process.

 ¿What's behind the name of the new album, the name means ?
The fundamental idea of this album is to play with people 's fears . When someone decides to face his fears and conquer , then you can turn them into something fun. Open the gates of hell ( Gates of Hell ) is a good way to represent it , let the fears we all have released. It is true that in doing so, we run the risk of being destroyed by them, but if we are brave and learn to use them, then, these fears become our greatest strength.

¿What is the theme of the album, is continuous ? Metaphorical ? ? Need more power ? Or heavier?
In fact it is all the things you mention. Start with opening the gates of hell and ends with a celebration where supposedly scariest beings gather to have fun and be happy, and invite you to celebrate with them as long as you are polite and behave . Definitely continuous and metaphorical. As for music, has many elements of Speed, Thrash, Power, Neoclassical and even Gothic. It is a heavy but very digestible disc. Different emotions are represented by different sounds , it is important that everyone gets along very well with them , haha.

 ¿Will guest artists ? or special collaboration?

None. The disk 100 % MysticaGirls .

¿Tell us, who is currently Mystica Girls ? with the output of various talents . Kathy Whitewolf is the newest member of the group . He arrived just in time to record the new album. Mon Laferte and Yolanda have almost 3 years of being part of the band. And as I said before I am questioning the guitarist.

¿Will you write songs or who wrote those ?
Most of the songs are mine. When someone else was involved in some of them is specified on the disc. The same happens if bonus tracks as "Bonus Track" not of my authorship included in any edition.

¿Will a video clip of some of the songs ?
Definitely ! You can be sure of that. Now we are also developing , but as with the disc , we give them a high quality product , so we 're not rushing .

Thank you my friend ! Indeed for this opportunity! The last words are yours !

 Many thanks to you and all the people who follow and support us ! Rest assured that all we want and appreciate , because thanks to you we have the opportunity to share the work we do with so much love and passion, and that is our life. We will see that they can be very happy in our live .


Now here is the review of this album , see each track!

Gates of Hell


To be Open :
Dark Entry, sounds of the underworld march to hell, good very atmospheric entry , reminds us of an apocalypse full of excitement and full of Rock Metal which is a good overture


The Gates of Hell ;
Heavy tackle , and fast ! Excellent ! Reminds me of the old style touch thrashy , Mon Laferte voice is grave with a dark , slow and full of dark emotion with a touch goth tessitura , but what I like is the fast pace of the melody, not lost pitch or speed, there is little use of voice , a good song with a good Metalero old school style !

The Boogie Biker :
What entrance, a heavy crude and heavy rock guitars to its maximum , strong and relentless , slower and with very good guitar solos , another atmospheric song with a very different style battery.

No more :
Sounds heavy , similar to previous songs here noticed more rocker style! With a higher voice ! And wild! This song is heavy with a strong rocker style of those great years , again using the little voice is unlike music, which makes use of guitars and drums.

The Spirit has won :
Excellent entry Speed ​​and more power! The voice enters in time with the song! Sharper and coupled to the rhythm of the track , one good guitar which is a clear sign of management tools very good , although the last part is somewhat abrupt enough time voice input and output , and ends with track more elaborate vocal range in this song !

Tiny Blue Dot :
Check regularly with a refrain between guitars and drums , lightweight studs between the speech input , the same rate between the voice and the song , the tone of the voice is the same scale, more rhythmic, more emotion, more notorious rocker style , good end some time with voice and sound.

The Conquest:
Excellent entry ! Reminds me of a classic style between Death and Thrash , speed is very noticeable with great handling guitars! The voice input will time with the same rhythm and harmony , sharp and wild, I like the style of the song, fly in the middle of the disc that speed ! And that piercing cry is beautiful! I only lacked this a guttural song really would be a rich classic Death !

Sweet picking:
Entry great slower background guitar and drums , has a sound similar to speed metal of the old masters , speed regulate other atmospheric song which you can hear

Why should we need:
Check slower , a notorious example of good voice Mon Laferte , here is more noticeable than in previous songs , which gives it an air of classic Rock with a clearer and emotional frame of mind, this is the quietest song on the album ! Which does not break with the concept of the album or lyric , it seems good adaptation .

New Awakening:
Classical entrance with a very notorious Power! Handling excellent guitars , rhythm chords another very atmospheric song.

Spooky cookie:
Check with thunderous rock glory , the voice is harsh and cruel! Heavy doom with a touch of style and voice, regular rhythm , the close of the album is good ! Just the thrill of going down to low .


I liked the album! It really is very different from before , we can hear the evolution of the sound, it really is a heavy disc with a purely Rocker / Thrash / Power / Goth a pleasant and unique combination , the voice does not lose strength, his vocal range is contante and that you gives a personal touch to the disc remains level consistent with a rhythmic sound of each song is dark and raw! Only thing is quite strong and hard as you go up the lower disc and emotion, it is continuous but between intercepted by atmospheric songs.

Recommend with ample success , really . Congratulations on the use of instruments and voice Mon Laferte , that voice! I reiterate .

My score : 9/10

The cover art of the album shows a mixture of styles found !
