- The embryonic period of R-U KAISER (a German visionary in the early Seventies) began in the early 2000s as a shared idea of drummer Oscar Arias and singer/keyboardist Pilar Núñez. Later on, Mario Pizarro "Morus" makes his entrante as the main keyboardsman, and so do bassist Lino Oré and guitarist Pablo Lizana. All this took place in Antofagasta. The idea of a symphonic rock ensemble was increasingly enhanced by the band with the incorporation of members on flute, violin, cello, classical guitar, etc. This particular enterprise was doomed to be inconsistent, but it helped the band to mature its vision as it moved to Santiago, in order to expand its dissemination opportunities. Their music reamined well rooted in the symphonic prog trend with its "constrained" instrumentation of guitar-bass-drums-2 keyboards. With the entrance of Bárbara Wilson as a second female singer (a contralto who complements Pilar's soprano range) and Pablo doubling on guitar and bass, R-U KAISER finally achieved the line-up set to record their debut concept-album "Ocelos", which has been released by Watcher Records in November 2007. The recording sessions were intermittent, starting in 2006 and finishing it in half 2007; meanwhile, the band had been introducing their "Ocelos" material to audiences in various concerts. The band attained a loyal following in the last two years.
- Highly recommended to lovers of symphonic prog, the music of R-U KAISER reveals influences from classic WAKEMAN, UK, GLASS HAMMER, and it also bears relative similarities to their compatriots of ENTRANCE and MATRAZ.

R-U Kaiser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nunca deseó estar en la guerra
Se lo llevaron a temprana edad
Todo inició a cambiar en su tierra
El juego de matar era su realidad
Su fusil el juguete al que ¡él se aferra!
Su corazón se ha llenado de maldad
Todo su ser de sí mismo se aterra
Muerto en vida, no hay compasión
En arma de guerra se ha convertido
Solo piensa en la absurda destrucción
Su conciencia al fin se ha perdido
Obligado a su familia mató
En la noche en silencio se ha ido
A colgar su cuerpo en un armazón
De lo que hizo se ha arrepentido
Nunca pidió estar en esa maldita situación
These lyrics depict the tragic story of a person who was born in a cruel and violent environment, but never desired to be involved in war. At an early age, they were forcefully taken away and everything began to change in their homeland. The act of killing became their grim reality, and their rifle became the toy they cling to. Their heart has become filled with wickedness, terrifying their very existence. It is a portrayal of someone who has become consumed by the brutality of war.
The lyrics also describe the character as being dead inside, lacking any sense of compassion. They have transformed into a weapon of war, obsessively focused on senseless destruction. Their conscience has been lost, leaving them to carry out seemingly unthinkable acts. Regrettably, they were forced to kill even their own family. In the depths of night, filled with repentance, they hang their body on a framework, presumably as a symbol of atonement for their actions.
The lyrics convey the sentiment that this person never asked to be trapped in such a damned situation. They were unwillingly thrust into a world of violence and bloodshed, where their innocence was taken away from them. It serves as an exploration of the devastating consequences that war can have on individuals, tearing apart their humanity and leaving them burdened with guilt and regret.
Overall, these lyrics provide a stark and poignant reflection on the harrowing effects of war and the profound impact it can have on those forced to partake in it. It invites listeners to contemplate the tragic circumstances that can lead individuals down paths they never imagined, highlighting the need for empathy and understanding in a world that often perpetuates violence.
