Resilience Drops New Single “Hoy” – A Powerfully Emotional Progpower Metal Journey
The Chilean progpower metal band Resilience has just released their highly anticipated single, “Hoy”, now available on all major digital platforms, including Spotify, Deezer, and Apple Music. This new track is a monumental collaboration with renowned vocalist Jaime Salva (Tomo Como Rey, Karla Melo, Desvíos), marking yet another incredible partnership between Salva and the band, following their previous hits “Bombas sobre Gaza” and “Valle de la Luna”.
“Hoy” stands as a profound exploration of loss, nostalgia, and the emotional complexity that comes with the absence of a loved one. The lyrics, written by bassist Marcelo Oyanedel, are deeply personal. He reflects on his childhood memories of his maternal grandmother, whose decline due to Alzheimer’s disease left a lasting impact on him. Oyanedel recalls the bittersweet moments of walking with her on the beach and the helplessness he felt as a child, unable to support her through her fading memories. These raw emotions are encapsulated in the song, creating a powerful narrative that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of watching a loved one fade away.
Musically, “Hoy” is a showcase of Resilience’s evolving sound. With Marcelo Oyanedel on bass, Francisco Salazar delivering intricate and soaring guitar work, and Hugo Ibarra anchoring the track with his powerful drumming, the song blends technical mastery with raw emotion. Salva’s vocals add an extra layer of depth, his voice effortlessly moving between powerful highs and emotional lows, making the track both a sonic and emotional powerhouse.
The production of “Hoy” is top-notch, recorded at Estudio Baleares, with mixing handled by Howard Huambachano and mastering by the highly respected Francisco Holzmann. This team ensures that every element of the track shines, from the rich guitar tones to the haunting, melancholic vocals. The pristine production quality elevates the song, allowing the intricate layers of sound to merge seamlessly with the emotional weight of the lyrics.
Resilience has been steadily rising in the metal scene since their formation in 2014. With six studio albums, a live album, and three singles to their name, they have earned a reputation for crafting music that is as technically impressive as it is emotionally resonant. Their ability to push boundaries within the progpower metal genre has garnered them a loyal fanbase, both in their home country of Chile and internationally.
“Hoy” is a testament to the band’s commitment to evolving and experimenting with new sounds while staying true to their metal roots. The single opens doors to a broader audience, offering something for both long-time metal fans and those new to the genre. Resilience continues to impress with their willingness to tackle complex themes and deliver music that strikes a chord on both a personal and musical level.
