… Read Full Bio ↴Avalanch is a heavy/power metal band formed in Asturias, Spain in 1993.
Led by composer, producer and guitar player Alberto Rionda, the band has released 6 studio albums, plus a handful of compilations, DVDs and English versions of their works.
The Asturian band Avalanch takes to one long trajectory combining Heavy Metal of its beginnings with a more modern rock of doubtless metallic influence in the present, incorporating to its music elements of hard rock, pop and folk. Their discs are published in several European and American countries, and habitually make tours outside of Spain, mainly in Latin America. In 1993, a scale model long play in called vinyl format is published Ready To The Glory, with a totally different formation. That same year is gotten up to the band Alberto Rionda, that from that moment assumes the workings of composer and main guitarist and producing musical comedy of Avalanch. Fruit of this work, in 1997 sends their first professional disc, La llama eterna (eternal flame), recorded in Búnker Studies, study of Inn of Llanera (Asturias) that later would end up directing Alberto Rionda. With this disc, Avalanch causes a great impact in the Spanish scene heavy metal. It would not take in appearing the version in English of the disc, Eternal Flame, and in some countries as Italy or Japan were published editions of that English and Spanish work in.
Half-full the tour of this disc, Avalanch decides to do without its vocalist (Juan Lozano) and contacts with Victor Garcia (singer) so that one to them, beginning in Barcelona. It is then when Weeping of a hero enters the study to record El Llanto de un Heroe, a disc in which power metal was the predominant note, and that rotated to them by all Spain. From that tour arose Días de Gloria, a direct one that showed the moment that lived the band, and included a version in study of Queen, "Save Me", who was published like single. In 2001 the sold disc of the band is published more to date, El Ángel Caído, a disc that turns about Biblical, with one more a épica and evocative ambientación. Finalized the tour of presentation, the battery Alberto Ardines and the Víctor singer Garci'a ] leaves the group to form WarCry. Ramon Lage, Ex-Paco Jones, (that already had participated with the band doing choirs in previous albums) take the witness to the voices, and the battery would be Frame Alvarez, coming from Stormy Mondays and previously the Distillery. Also in this disc it collaborates Leo Jiménez, vocalist of Stravaganzza and Ex-Saratoga. They make an European tour in 2002 and are the only Spanish group in touching in the Wacken Open Air of that year, celebrated in Germany.
Once in Spain, more changes in the band. The tecladist White Iván and the guitarist Robert Garcia leave the formation and are replaced by the guitarist Dany Leon (of long trajectory in bands like the Distillery, Faith of Rats and many others) and the tecladist Junquera Robert (originating of the Asturian scene folk); giving rise to the present formation of Avalanch.
In 2003, Avalanch publishes its room disc of study, Los Poetas Han Muerto, where they let along the epic and fast sound to make a more personal rock, than it incorporates influences not strictly from metal.

Avalanch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will understand
The reason I wrote for you this song
I need to sing it out now
My heart isn't made of stone
It has not forgotten
Still thinks of thee
Speaks to me all the time
Living in this world with your love
And cries for that great loss
Please hear its call
Saying that I need you
Hoping you feel as I do
A smile from you would send me to heaven
To the kingdom of your love
And we could be together
And all of this sadness will be gone
Once I broke the ice surrounding you
And my voice reached your heart and soul
Spoke to them hidden in a song
And then my soul was burned by your fire so tender
Heat of your love... then everything was gone
Just ashes of what was
Reminding me who I am
Just another dreamer
Only a fool in the shadow of your smile
Who lives and cries hidden inside
And for your love, I would give away my soul
Hear how I sing your song
Abandoned on a lost road
Can't you see I still love you?
The song "Dawn" by Avalanch is a heart-wrenching ballad about losing a loved one and desperately wanting them back. The lyrics are emotional and raw, telling a story of a love that has been lost but is still deeply felt. The singer is trying to convey to the person they are singing to that their heart is still beating for them and they long to be reunited.
The first verse talks about how the singer needs to sing this song to get their feelings out. They want the person they are singing to hear them and understand the depth of their emotions. The singer's heart is not made of stone and they still remember the past when they were living in this world with their love. The heart "speaks to me all the time" and tells the singer of the joy they once shared and how much they miss it. The lines "And cries for that great loss, Please hear its call" show the desperation the singer feels. They need the person they are singing to, to hear their call and know that they still need them in their life.
The second verse starts with a reminiscence of how the singer and the person they love once were close. The ice that surrounded them broke and their souls connected. But then the love was lost and all that remains is the singer's love for the person. The singer concedes that they are just a dreamer and a fool in the shadow of their loved one's smile. The lines "And for your love, I would give away my soul, Hear how I sing your song, Abandoned on a lost road, Can't you see I still love you?" express how the singer is willing to do anything to be with the person they loved once again. The sadness and pain that the singer feels are palpable, and the lyrics describe their vulnerability.
