The second album by El Reloj, also known as 'Al borde del abismo', was released in 1976 during Argentina's military dictatorship. The band sought to consolidate their progressive hard rock sound, though they faced restrictions in music promotion. Recording took place at CBS studios in Buenos Aires, with production shared between the group and Jorge Álvarez.
The album maintains hard rock power with progressive influences, highlighting songs like 'Al borde del abismo' and 'El viejo'. The instrumentation is dense, with distorted guitars and keyboard passages reflecting the symphonic rock complexity of the era. Willy Quiroga's voice stands out with a raw and emotional style.
Although not a massive success at the time, 'El Reloj II' is considered a classic of 70s Argentine rock. Its dark sound and critical lyrics made it a reference for local progressive hard rock. Over the years, it has been revalued by collectors and genre fans.
