Length: 64' 28" Zarpa the scorpion lethal sting


Hailing from Valencia, Spain, Zarpa have since 1977, produced seven studio-albums of classic Heavy Metal in their native language.

In their native country, Zarpa are a legend since their spectacular video-clip for “Herederos de un Imperio” (1984) and the crowd of fans became bigger and bigger. Three years after “Iberia” (also on Karthago Records), their new album “Las Puertas del Tiempo” will be released.

The new album is a little more gloomy than its predecessor, containing powerful and dynamic, but also melodic songs. It offers Heavy Metal with a traditional songwriting but also with a very good and powerful production. Bandleader Vicente Feijoo’s melodic but also rough voice will surely be liked by all Metal-fans. Track 6 has a balladesque beginning which reminds one of Spanish folklore music; not many bands would dare to combine this with Heavy Metal. Their style can be compared with Accept or maybe Judas Priest (in their middle phase), though the Spanish lyrics give them a more exotic flair and adding a 70’s influence overall.

In their own country everybody knows the group even if one is not Metal fan at all as its one of the longest living bands there.
