Recorded in a context of extreme social crisis in Argentina, the album captures that tension through a sound of hard rock, dry and uncompromising. The title is a reference to everyday and political violence, also reflected in the iconic cover that alludes to a Goya firing squad. The band opted for a more austere and minimalist production compared to their previous works, focusing on the brute force of the songs.
It includes classics like 'Héroe del whisky', 'La parabellum del buen psicópata' and 'Nuestro amo juega al esclavo', with lyrics of terrifying lucidity. The album flows with an urgency that makes it sound almost like a transmission from the front line of urban life. Skay develops memorable riffs that intertwine with the increasingly iconic and powerful voice of Indio Solari.
It is a fundamental album for understanding the Ricotera mystique and its relationship with the social context of the late 20th century. Critics received it as a solid work that confirmed the artistic coherence of the group above the passing fads of the pop of the time. Its legacy is that of an ethical rock, committed to its time and with its own non-negotiable aesthetic.
