1. Vox Dei (Latin: God's Voice) is an Argentine rock band. Its most prolific years were the 1970s, having recorded 10 albums.
The band's original members were Juan Carlos "Yody" Godoy (guitar and vocals), Ricardo Soulé (guitar and vocals), Rubén Basoalto (drums) and Willy Quiroga (bass and vocals).
In 1968 they recorded a version of Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman", and the company Mandioca organized an audition for them in the Payró theatre. The members of Manal and Almendra were also present, and a few hours later they played together. In 1970 they recorded for Mandioca their first album Caliente.
In the B.A. Rock Festival Vox Dei played the first part of the theme "Genesis", which had no lyrics yet. In February 1971 they released La Biblia ('The Bible'). Being the first Argentine concept album, it became a turning point in the history of Argentine rock; even the Archdiocese, that had asked to examine the lyrics, recommended young people to buy it. Right after the recording of La Biblia, Jorge Godoy left the band and was replaced by Ignacio Smilari.
In 1972 they re-edited their first album and recorded the third one, Jeremías Pies de Plomo. During the first shows after the release, they recorded La Nave Infernal and a few months later Es una Nube, No Hay Duda. After Vox Dei para Vox Dei of 1974, Ricardo Soulé announced he would leave the band to start as a soloist. Carlos Michelini replaced him while recording Estamos en la Pecera in 1975, and then was himself replaced by Raúl Fernandez. In 1976 they recorded Ciegos de Siglos.
Soulé returned to the band in 1978 to record Gata de Noche. Slowly the differences between the musicians started to grow, but they respected the contract that kept them together until 1981. In 1986 Vox Dei regrouped to present and record live "La Biblia" in the Teatro Ópera. In 1988 they made a "come back", to produce Tengo Razones para Seguir with Luis Valenti. Towards the end of 1989, Ricardo Soulé the band left again. In 1992 Carlos Gardellini becomes his new guitar. With guitar Gardellini have recorded the albums: Sin Darle Ya Más Vueltas in 1994, and El Camino in 2005. They have recorded with Ricardo Soulé a remake of La Biblia in 1997 entitled La Biblia II. On November 3, 2010, drummer Rubén Basoalto dies of lung cancer. After that, the band has a not well defined future.
2. Vox Dei is a Christian Progressive Heavy Metal band from Guatemala. Vox Dei was formed in 1989 in Guatemala City, the name means God's Voice. It is usually confused with the secular band from Argenitna Vox Dei. For many, Vox Dei are the fathers of the Guatemalan White Metal.

Apocalipsis
Vox Dei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
es el Apocalipsis,
no puedo hablar
apenas si puedo decir lo que veo.
Hay melodías en el aire
esto es maravilloso,
no puede ser el final.
Aquí no termina...
Vox Dei's song Apocalipsis is a reflective and poetic piece about the end of the world as we know it. The song starts with the singer acknowledging the finality of the situation - this is the end, this is the apocalypse. He admits he's at a loss for words, barely able to describe what he sees. However, the singer also admits to hearing melodies in the air, a wondrous and almost surreal experience. He then questions whether this truly is the end - it can't be the end, can it? He posits that maybe this is not where it all ends, but rather where it all begins, referencing the cyclical nature of life and existence.
The lyrics of Apocalipsis convey a sense of awe and acceptance of the unknown, even in the face of the end of the world. It speaks to a larger theme of finding beauty and hope even in the direst of situations, and embracing the cyclical nature of life.

Desde el minuto 0:47 se puede escuchar alguien cantando una melodía hasta que el sonido de las guitarras le gana en potencia, será que este tema no estará terminado?
@lucianorodriguez7726
Totalmente, el tema ni está terminado debido a las presiones de la discográfica de sacar el disco, este quedó sin letra aunque originalmente tenía
