En Vivo | 1er Tributo Oficial de EPICA en Perú

RANA Producciones y EPICA PERU presentan el 1er Tributo Oficial a EPICA en Perú, este mes de noviembre en el icónico Keko Bar de Barranco, ¡y nos preparamos con HYPNOX para armar un show tremendo!

Se viene un recorrido completo por la discografía de la banda en más de 15 temas repartidos en 3 sets, alternando bloques acústicos y eléctricos. Además, sumamos al setlist "The Obsessive Devotion", el tema ganador de la votación que hicimos hace poco, junto a sorteos y sorpresas para todos los que nos acompañen esa noche.

Les dejo un primer adelanto del arte oficial. Muy pronto les comparto los detalles finales de la fecha.
¡Nos vemos!

Poesía | Aurora Borealis




Aurora Borealis

by Nathalie Markoch


how could you imagine
raindrops falling down from the skies?
are you able to explain
the aurora borealis in my heart?

did you ever imagine the whole
filling up this hole?
or could you ever forget
these Hazel Eyes of hope?

ready to know?
ready to go?

understand,
there's something you call magic
on my words and rhymes

underline,
the true meaning and decline
the lack of wisdom inside

ready to show?
ready to love?

let this river flow
down into the ocean
and meet my soul
at the northern shore, beloved

Poesía | Sealed in Me


Sealed in Me

by Nathalie Markoch

Innocence gone and you can´t see much further
Waiting until you encounter the key
Where the truth is hiding upon tears
Although we are still friends
You are sealed in me forever

Sealed in me forever here
Sealed behind those shaded dreams
Sealed in me, believe it's real
Sealed and wounded by closest fears

Fears control the whole
Near it comes the deepest ocean
Here you deceive it all
Clear we see, and clearly I suffer

Void, it's all I can sense
Pain includes cold shaking hands
That's all that's left in me
Replaced only when I listen to that voice
Calming down my horrors

Sealed in me forever here
Sealed behind those shaded dreams
Sealed in me, believe it's real
Sealed and wounded by closest fears

Created kingdoms, never faced truth
Behind the veil, there's only you
The illusion just faded away
Believed walls would be my strength
But decayed 'cause of the pain
And this should be sealed in me forever

Sealed in me forever here
Sealed behind those shaded dreams
Sealed in me, believe it's real
Sealed and wounded by closest fears

Media | Primera Dirección Visual del Proyecto Musical | 1B

Les comparto la segunda entrega de esta primera producción visual junto a Alonso Valdivia de Doble Nudo Productora. Si en la primera entrega exploramos una línea más gótica, en esta selección llevamos esa misma atmósfera sombría hacia un encuadre más urbano.

¡Les comparto las fotos de la primera sesión promocional oficial para mi proyecto solista!

Fue un trabajo brutal de la mano de Alonso Valdivia (Doble Nudo Productora), un gran amigo y un profesional increíble detrás de la cámara. Logramos plasmar la estética, la fuerza y la identidad que quería transmitir para dar inicio a esta etapa musical.

Poesía | Are you Still Alive?



Nathalie Markoch | Peruvian Metal Singer | Alonso Valdivia

Are you Still Alive?
by Nathalie Markoch


Are you still alive?
Don't you wanna know if
I also made it through the night
Won't you still be waiting

Until I promise I won't cry
Oh, are you still alive?

Is this true or a dream?
Am I also watching you
The way you're watching me?
Hold you in my arms
Or am I holding only these
These empty, hollow 
broken shaded ribs

No, I can't reach you out there
No, I must be living somewhere else 
Before... before...
Before I met you

Are you still alive?
Should I stand and fight
Or should I give you all my life?
Hope to find a reason
That keeps me safe from time
Oh, are you still alive?

Will this lead to an end?
Will this have a meaning?
Will you finally understand?
There´s nowhere to run to
without your stretching holding hand

Your frozen, absent, callused hand

No, I can't reach you out there
No, I must be living somewhere else 
Before... before.. 
Before I met you

You're out of touch
You're out of sight
I'm out of my mind!

Your face fades out
You're mine, I know
But I can't figure it out..

If you do love..
So why are you not..
Why are you not..
Alive

No, I can't reach you out there
No, I must be living somewhere else 
Before... before.. 
Before I met you

You are out of sight
Are you still alive?
Am I still alive?

Cover | Nathalie Markoch - Feint (EPICA)

Nathalie Markoch | Peruvian Metal Singer


El otro día subí a YouTube una versión de "Feint", de la banda holandesa de metal sinfónico EPICA.

La grabé un sábado por la mañana en la sala de mi casa, en medio de una tranquilidad total que me dio el espacio perfecto para conectar y cantar. De esa misma sesión salieron súper fluidas varias canciones más: "Run for a Fall", "I See You" del soundtrack de Avatar y "The Key" de After Forever.

Elegí compartir este cover primero porque tiene una historia genial para mí: fue la primera canción de EPICA que escuché allá por el 2004, y la que encendió mi conexión con el metal sinfónico.

EPICA | Feint

The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver...

The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
All the right answers
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom

An untouched snow turns red
Innocence dies

This black page in history is not colourfast,
will stain the next
All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
This black page in history is not colourfast,
will stain the next
And nothing seems in life,
in dreams like what was meant to be

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver
