Huinca was formed in Santiago of Chile, in late 2001 by Mauricio Contreras (vocals and guitar), Miguel Yáñez (drums), Jorge “Cocke” Cumplido (guitar) and Flavio Salas (bass guitar). Some of the musicians have professional studies of music so the traditional metal music was not motivational for the band. So they started to look for a fresh new way to play music keeping the feeling and power of metal. This was the beginning of the creation of an album that would be powerful yet modern. After 6 months of pre-production Huinca was ready to record the songs. Telecombs Inversiones (Miami, USA) financed the record making a personal and friendly deal with the band, leaving the band free to makes future dealings with any company. Thanks to them the album was completed successfully.
