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.

Shadows Fall
Beto Vázquez Infinity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A real kiss can be deadly like a large wound,
Would you mind dying after feeling the passion of a pure love?
Easy is to pray every night.
Difficult to find faith in small things, even if you're not alone
I'm digging to the past, searching for a mind state, revealing the truth inside
When I look into the mirror I don't seek for what I was.
Rainy afternoon
Under cloudy sky
A destroyed heart
Where the Shadows Fall
If yesterday I ripped your feelings with delicate words
While you woke up feeling real faith I stroke your hope,
The magic of your hands were like the thunder in where I fainted.
If yesterday I ripped your feelings
while you woke up
with delicate words filled with hope,
The magic of your hands and charm of your fingers
were like a lightning flash in where I fainted.
Time is our biggest ally, I believe that will ensure
That the wound heals quickly
Today I see your agitated spirit and I can feel
The pain makes me stronger!
Useless to chase you
While trying to reach you
You fell into the abyss...
You fell into the abyss of unreality
In where those who get lost
Just find the path to oblivion.
Is useless to chase you, 'Cos while trying to reach you
I fell too into the abys... the abyss where...
...The shadows fall!
The song "Shadows Fall" by Beto Vázquez Infinity is a melancholic ballad about the pain of lost love and the struggle to find meaning in life. The first verse sets the scene with a dark and cold night, where the singer questions whether it's worth risking heartbreak for the possibility of true love. The chorus paints a picture of a rainy afternoon under cloudy skies, where the shadows fall and the singer's heart is destroyed. He reflects on past mistakes and wonders how to move on.
The second verse speaks of the power of words and how they can either destroy or give hope. The magic of love is evoked through thunder and lightning as the singer grapples with the pain of lost love. Time is the only ally he has in the healing process, as he gains strength from the pain. The repetition of "useless to chase you" in the final verse suggests acceptance of the loss and a sense of resignation as the singer falls into the abyss himself.
Overall, "Shadows Fall" is a reflective and poignant song that captures the painful experience of losing love and the struggle to find meaning and acceptance in life.

Rainy afternoon
A period of time characterized by rainfall during the afternoon
Under cloudy sky
Occurring while beneath an overcast atmosphere
A destroyed heart
A heart in a state of ruin or decay
Where the Shadows Fall
Dwelling within an area where darkness and obscurity are pervasive
If yesterday I ripped your feelings with delicate words
If I intentionally damaged your emotions with tactful language in the recent past
While you woke up feeling real faith I stroke your hope,
While you experienced authentic belief upon awakening, I shattered your aspirations
The magic of your hands were like the thunder in where I fainted.
The potency of your touch had the same impact as thunder, leaving me in a state of unconsciousness

Time is our greatest friend and will guarantee
That the wound heals quickly
The wound will recover swiftly
Today I see your agitated spirit and I can feel
At present, I observe your restless demeanor and sense
The pain makes me stronger!
The agony I encounter strengthens me!
Useless to chase you
It is futile to pursue you
While trying to reach you
In an attempt to catch up to you
You fell into the abyss...
You sank into a chasm of darkness...
You fell into the abyss of unreality
You descended into an abyss where reality is absent
In where those who get lost
Where those who are misguided
Just find the path to oblivion.
Merely encounter a route leading to eternal forgetfulness.
Is useless to chase you, 'Cos while trying to reach you
Pursuing you proves fruitless, because as I strive to catch up
I fell too into the abys... the abyss where...
I too plunged into the abyss where...
...The shadows fall!
...the area of darkness is ubiquitous!
