Editor's note

Rata Blanca, Argentina's steady heavy metal force.

A band built on Walter Giardino's guitar and big melodic hooks since the late '80s.

For a sense of their sound, 'Chico Callejero' and 'La Leyenda Del Hada y Del Mago' frame it well, heavy, melodic, and straightforward.

They've been a constant in Argentine rock since 1988, never chasing trends but holding a core audience with songs like 'Chico Callejero' and 'La Leyenda Del Hada y Del Mago.' Their sound is heavy metal with power metal touches, driven by Giardino's riffs and Adrián Barilari's vocals. More than ten studio albums and a reputation for live shows have kept them going through lineup shifts.

Formed in 1986 around guitarist Walter Giardino, they released their self-titled debut in 1988 with 'Mujer Amante.' Over the years, they've put out albums steadily, facing some internal friction but maintaining a presence without dramatic comebacks. Songs like 'Máquina' and 'Talismán' reflect their style of big riffs and melodic hooks.
