Pacto de Sangre

Biography:
Pacto de Sangre was born around 1996 in Carolina, Puerto Rico under the name of "Plenitud", when Eliezer Robles (director and 2nd guitar), after 2 drug overdoses, decided to do something to alert others about the risks of drug use, among other things, and with help of his brothers Mizael Robles(bass & growling voice) & Carlos Robles(drums), Plenitud (the bands first name) was born. Félix Guzmán was then added to the line up to do the main guitars and finally the former singer Luis Vila (Vocal). A few Years later another band appeared with the same name of Plenitud, so it was changed to Pacto de Sangre. Héctor García (Metaloman, vocal) then enters to replace Luis Vila on vocals and to complete the final line up of the band, at least for the recording of the Demo/EP and a full CD.
In September, 2002, the band released their first studio quality Demo/ EP called "ARREPIENTETE" with previews of the songs De Verdad, Arrepiéntete & Holy Ghost been these rough releases from the recording sessions of the upcoming album. Pacto de Sangre then got some good fame all around and opened and co-headlined some mayor concerts in the island with bands like Rob Rock, Bride, All That I Bleed & Rivera Bomma among others. Finally on December 2003 their full CD called "Alerta" came out selling thousands copies locally in less than 5 months and with no airplay at all, which is considered a real record for a band of this nature (been them Christians and Metal at the same time). A record that was broken some years later by the secular local band Dantesco, with whom Pacto de Sangre has shared the stage many times.Another break to play with the Legend of Christian Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal; Bride. here is an excerpt of that show:
After a few years, for personal reasons, the Robles brothers left the band. Mizael joined the international Power-Prog Metal band Rivera Bomma and then Carlos and Eliezer left to form the local band Martus together with former Pacto de Sangre singer Luis Vila. Sama enters to substitute Mizael on bass, Félix "Pitbull" Castro replaces Carlos on drums, Emilio "Millo" Rodríguez replaces Eliezer on the 2nd guitar and Félix Guzmán ended up as the new director of the band. Félix Guzmán, Félix "Pitbull" Castro, Metaloman, Emilio Rodríguez, Sama. By February 2005, Pacto de Sangre made it.18 on the "Loud Charts" of the ACMJ, which is the Christian equivalent to the well known Billboard. Then more opportunities came in with bigger bands such as Stryper, in which Pacto de Sangre opened the show, been the first time for the band on a big stadium stage and it all was a real success. Another excellent opportunity came in to co-headline for Metal Blade's Jacob's Dream and Deliverance October 2007.
.a few more lineup changes here and there.
The second production is on pre-production stage. It will have more than 10 songs and we expect it to feature a Bonus live video (Video CD). It will also have a more defined Power Metal style, blended perfectly with good old Speed Metal/ Thrash. Contrary to the first production that had many styles but in different songs of their own, this time these two styles (Thrash and Power Metal) are blended together in all the songs in a very subtle and natural way, giving Pacto de Sangre a definitely unique signature to their style. This new production is a conceptual one and will be called "Pacto De Sangre". We are going to do a EP for the "Trilogy" and its songs 1) "Enslaved", 2) "Chosen One" and 3) "Powerful Wonders" tells the story of the Hebrew people since the beginning of their 400 years of enslavement under the yoke of the Egyptian empire, all the way to its freedom by God through the hand of Moses. Other songs that are tentatively set for the new production are; the band's theme "Pacto de Sangre", and other songs like “Sacrifice”, ”Guerrero”, ”Elegido”, “Padre Nuestro” and more. It will have a lot more material in English as you can see.
On 2010 when Metaloman decided to go from Pacto we decide to make an audition for the new Lead Vocal. We have some many people that came from around the island of Puerto Rico to make this audition but finally came Lala Andeluz (from Vega Alta) and Juan “Blaky” Subira (from Ponce). When we hear this to amazing people we decided to close the audition because God gave us the new vocals for Pacto de Sangre. We play on different events this year like Viernes Santo (Holy Friday) and there we annunciate the new vocals. Then we became complete with these 2 amazing voices. Then we play on Relevo Por La Vida (Relay for Life Cancer Walk). But now in November Juan”Blacky” Subira have to leave Puerto Rico and Lala Andeluz became the new lead vocal. In November Emilio “Millo” decided to go form Pacto and we decided to contact with Mizael “Michi” to play again with us but this time playing guitar he say yes to the command of God and now he is playing with us again. In December 4 2010 we play in the concert of Saint and Lala (lead vocal) & Mizael “Michi” (guitar) show the new sound and the new theme of Pacto de Sangre.
The new Pacto de Sangre is:
Felix Guzman (Lead Guitar and Director of PDS), Mizael Robles (2dn. Lead Guitar),
Lala Andeluz (Lead Vocal), Sammy de la Torre (Bass), Carlos Robles (Drums) &
Josue Constantine (Keyboard and Chorus Vocal).
