The first station dedicated to the hard-pounding, bone-crushing sounds of heavy metal en Español. Of all of rock’s varying sub-genres, heavy metal is by far the most excessive in terms of volume, aggressiveness, and theatrics. Characterized by a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound accompanied by highly amplified distortions and fast guitar solos, heavy metal migrated from England and the United States to Spain and Latin America in the late '70s to fulfill the needs of Spanish-speaking metalheads. From the Old Wave of Spanish heavy metal and the government-defying metal argentino of the early '80s, to the new generations of hybrid headbangers like folk and Nü Metal, here you’ll find devil horns with a Spanish flare. After all, we have more umlauts than any other station. So dust off the old spiked wristbands, put on your leather jacket, and turn it up to eleven. If it’s fast y fuerte, we’ll play it. Step into the mosh pit, but remember: Procede con cuidado. Estos son sonidos peligrosos, para tu salud.
