With this formation, they recorded a very political 6-track EP in the local music school of Posada de Llanera, called "Agujero Social". They took to the road and supported known classics as Barón Rojo, Brecha, Transfer, Desorden, Aprieta'l kulo, etc. With the addition of Nano (Drums) and Dani (Bagpipe and Sound Technician), they recorded their second 6-track EP, "Gritando en Silencio" in La Factoria studios in Aviles. This work gave them recognition around the Asturias punk scene and beyond.

Desakato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Millones de personas a quien le importaría,
Si miras pa' bajo verás la cruda realidad,
Pero si rezas arriba no encontrarás respuesta.
El hambre y el alambre taponan la salida,
De un pueblo que no sabe hacia donde camina,
Si todo sigue igual, espolio criminal.
África algún día se levantará,
Los que solo reparten... ¡¡¡Miedo!!!
Miseria, Sangre y Plomo... ¡¡¡Miedo!!!
Frágil y decadente oscuridad,
No queda ni un pedazo, de tierra que no tenga,
Sangre que derrama el odio y corre por sus venas.
Si todo sigue igual, si nada va a cambiar,
África algún día se levantará,
Pueblan las calles, pueblan las calles sin cesar,
Los que solo reparten... ¡¡¡Miedo!!!
Miseria, Sangre y Plomo... ¡¡¡Miedo!!!
Frágil y decadente oscuridad.
The lyrics of Desakato's song África speak about the harsh reality of millions of people living in poverty and suffering in Africa. The first verse talks about how they are stuck in the mud, living in their misery, and nobody seems to care. The second verse highlights how hunger and poverty are preventing the people from moving forward, and they are lost and directionless. The chorus, "África algún día se levantará" (Africa will rise one day), is an expression of hope that Africa will one day overcome its challenges and take its rightful place on the global stage.
The third verse talks about the darkness and violence that engulfs Africa, with bloodshed and hatred running through its veins. The line "Si todo sigue igual, si nada va a cambiar" (if everything remains the same, if nothing changes) is a stark reminder that change is needed urgently. The chorus is repeated, and the final line, "Frágil y decadente oscuridad" (fragile and decadent darkness), leaves the listener with a somber mood, realizing the depth of the struggles being faced in Africa.
