In September of 1999, he finished composing a demo, which was listened to by the record label Nems Enterprises, who immediately offered him a record deal. Vázquez would have the hard task of finding musicians who were able to perform to the high standard the project demanded. The label also suggested that vocalists of international fame should participate in the project, making it possible for the album to be released worldwide.
All the songs were composed and written by Beto Vázquez and performed by the band. This way he was in charge of songwriting, musical direction, arrangement, bass guitar, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. Vázquez was able to expand his potential as musician and give shape to a new project based on his personal musical influences which include: Pink Floyd, Rhapsody, Helloween, Skyclad, Porcupine Tree, Moonspell, Blackmore's Night, and In Flames.
The first album released in 2001 Beto Vazquez Infinity
had many guest such as:
Tarja Turunen (former Nightwish, Tarja), Candice Night (Blackmore's Night), Sabine Edelsbacher (Edenbridge) and Fabio Tordiglione (Rhapsody of Fire).
In April, 2002 the tour producer José Luis Botto proposed Beto to take the band on a tour to Spain. The festival featured Barón Rojo, Shaman, Angeles del Infierno and Dark Moor among others. The band took part in the festival playing to their first international crowd. The audience showed a very positive response and the musicians claim to have enjoyed the experience. Beto Vázquez Infinity played as supporting band for bands such as: Nightwish, Labyrinth, Vision Divine, Angra, Tierra Santa and others.
Beto Vázquez has continued this theme with releasing albums with guest vocalist on each album.

Promises Under The Rain
Beto Vázquez Infinity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Across the valley guiding a blind man, with ilussion
Will the beast appear in his dreams tonight?
Will he run under a clear moonlight chasing rainbows in the night?
Please help the man kill the beast with no sorrow or pain
Suddenly, the sun appears in the valley for him
But you can't be so blue the man is now there for you
Willing to walk through the valley hand in hand with you
Sometimes I think that you should help the blind man
Sometimes I think: you two are one of a kind
Don' keep on making
Promises under the rain
Words that you are gonna regret
Sad feeling that he is loosing you forever
Please don't enter in your night right now
As the ember of the valley, you were not strong enough
Don't hide in your shell, you?ll be under attack
Don' keep on making
Promises under the rain
Words that you are gonna regret
Speaking from the heart he will never lie, (won't ever lie)
Make him be a wiser man, he may have something to hide
Don' keep on making
Promises under the rain
Words that you are gonna regret
Is hard to start all over, when you were so close to understanding your
life.
The lyrics to Beto Vázquez Infinity's song Promises Under the Rain are quite complex and open-ended, but they seem to revolve around a story of a blind man being guided by someone through a valley, with the possibility of encountering a beast in his dreams. The lyrics express a hope that the guide will help the blind man conquer his fear and defeat the beast with no pain or sorrow. The song seems to suggest that the relationship between the two individuals is important and special, and that they should not make promises they cannot keep.
The lyrics then shift to addressing the guide directly, reminding them of their duty to help the blind man and that they are one of a kind. The guide is cautioned against making promises under the rain, which may lead to regret in the future. The lyrics acknowledge the sadness that comes from losing someone forever, and urge the guide not to give up on the relationship just yet. The song ends with the message that it is hard to start over when one was so close to understanding their life, implying that the relationship between the blind man and the guide is worth fighting for.
