In recent years, driven by the effort and energy in their songs and proposal, Mattogroso became one of the most attractive bands within the scene national metal groove.

With the influences of hardcore, heavy metal y punk, the group composed of Gonzalo Arce (voice), Diego Attaguile (guitar), Mauricio Perez (bass and guitar) and Martin Gianfelice (drums) It is preparing to close the year on Sunday at Uniclub, which also will present "The Battle", his latest album.

In dialogue with The sidewalk, Attaguile, He confessed that the group is "really very anxious and expectant. We want to arrive as soon as possible 15 from December". As detailed musician, "It will be a very important date for us, a form of end stage, be able to show our love for what we do and to transmit the energy of our songs live ".

Regarding the concert, guitarist and composer explained that "We repaired to the production of this show since the beginning of the year, with our team, press, sonidista, illuminator, stages, assistants, photographer and merchandising. Together we form a family ".

Attaguile emphasizes putting together a show from every point of view, trying "to have covered every detail, from technical to human. Undoubtedly it will be a very powerful experience for the audience. There will screen animations, lights and a sound demolishing ".

How was the gestation of the new album?

It was a long process, We begin with a pre-production work with Coca Lean and Sergio Munich, It lasted several months and in that time we know our best performance, as a band and as musicians, and how best to compose and build individual and group talent.

Then, at the time of entering the recording studio, Nera was our guide Gejman. He was our sound engineer, recording and mixing. Ezequiel Arias was our 'Guitar Tech' and helped us find the audio of the guitars that both were looking, were hours to try guitars, microphones, heads, boxes and effects pedals. The same happened with battery, but that work 'Drum Doctor' was made by German Prieto.

During the work of recording voices had guests who participated in the album, contributing their talents and special touch. They are Dario Iacomino (Taiwan) Juan Pedro Albanesi (Mosh) and Javier Kanario (Plan 4). And to complete the work Daniel Osorio was responsible for the work of mastering the material.

Is it different from a "normal" one concert where a new album presents?

Mattogroso essence is the same in a show "normal" and the presentation of the disc. What will change is that, this time, we have the opportunity to build everything from scratch. The concert hall is at our disposal, Sound, lights and display are specially equipped to provide the public the best of us. It's like our birthday, We can orchestrate the night and we will take advantage to the maximum.

In that sense we could also choose to join us at this event three big bands, they will make the night something special too, adding their energy and good music. They are Dead Breed, Malicious Culebra and Taenia, colleagues and friends to let us warm stage.

Another difference with a normal show is the move that is generated, you have to really be at all, generating from us the move and make the whole world know our presentation.

What it does "A battle"?

The name of our album refers in part to the daily battle that all we live to achieve that happiness we seek, no matter where you are, you always have to give something in return to achieve. On the other hand the battle we had to make as a band to achieve record this material.

Live many moments of change, times when we did everything uphill. But working together, as brothers friends and we overcame all that and win our battle to see materialize the dream we had. See, feel and hear our album was a food for our souls and impetus to move forward, no matter the problem we have before us, we confront and solve. I think that's why we feel that "The Battle" was a perfect name for us and our album.

What things inspired in creating new songs?

The inspiration came from our life experiences, our environment, what we see, of everyday life and our longings. A level musical composition sometimes I get a tune out of nowhere, in the midst of work, while at other times you have to look for them to simply start playing the instrument, play music and see where we.

In the lyrical part inspiration and narrative is left Gonza, He has the gift of gab and with it we convey the real message of our work and feel.

The music accompanying emotions and provide the basis for our voice.

What things decided to continue regarding the first album and what things you wanted to change?

We decided to change almost everything in terms of improving. We change from songwriting to our quest to achieve a powerful and most professional audio. That involves personal and group work. From the individual study, train and improve in every aspect. In my case with great guitar made changes, I started with the instrument itself, improving it with better microphones, accessories and ropes, Continuing with the head and casing and finally with pedals effect. Thus achieving the sum of all a completely different audio to the one presented in our first job.

The same happened with battery, bass and voice, all we did our best and we prepare for all that the disc has our true personality and power.

How do you define the band proposal?, both his songs and concerts

Our proposal in the live shows is based on the power of the same, They are very intense, energy and the stick. It is a powerful riff Contrast in bombing, foundations 'grooveras' and positive lyrics that speak of life, our experiences, desires and truths.

The audience sees us will live full of adrenaline that we generate from the stage, Gonza with frontman shake conveys all that and more, It makes you move from the first track to the last, you are looking, you wake up and you joins the party.

That's another way to define our shows, they are a party, but with much power as to what musical.

We seek to convey a positive message, as being "always, always, against the current ”which is a fragment of the song “Koi”, and applies to all, everything that happens to us in life, we must never give up and always have to fight for what is ours.

It is ending the year, Have you taken stock? How was the 2019 for the group?

The balance we do is entirely positive, This was a year of hard work, where we put everything to produce the presentation of the disc, to rotate through neighborhoods with "Against the current tour" which led us to explore various scenarios moved in Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, La Plata, Magdalena, Miramar and many more, We treated ourselves to give a show paying tribute to Sepultura, band that marked us in our musical growth, We did everything to give our best in every show.
