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.

Conoce la verdad libre te hará
Grita a una montaña
Y pídele que se eche al mar
Si crees lo que dices seguro que se hará
(Uh hu, se hará, Uh hu, se hará)
(Uh hu, se hará, Uh hu, se hará)
(Uh hu, se hará, Uh hu, se hará)
(Uh hu, se hará, Uh hu, se hará)
(Uh hu, se hará)
Escucha mis palabras (Uh hu)
Y reconciliate con vos (Uh hu)
Sólo debes amar (Uh hu) así como amo yo
Ahora caminemos que hay mucho por andar
Ya vamos a estar sentados y en paz
(Uh hu, en paz, Uh hu, en paz)
(Uh hu, en paz, Uh hu, en paz)
Después de andar (Uh hu, en paz)
(Uh hu, en paz) en Paz
(Uh hu, en paz, Uh hu, en paz)
Sí, sería en paz (Uh hu, en paz)
Después de andar (Uh hu, en paz)
Ya no habrá más calma ya empezó el final
Recuerda que sos mi amigo
Y que no me perderás y te cerrarán caminos
Por decir lo que es verdad
Pero nunca estarás sólo
Porque allí yo voy a estar
Llorarás amigo y me buscarás
Será cuando yo me haya ido
A prepararte un lugar
Pasará un poco de tiempo y ya no me verás
Y otras vez pasará el tiempo
Y a verme volverás
The lyrics to Vox Dei's song "Cristo" convey a message of faith and trust in a greater power. The song starts by stating that the path to enlightenment is available to anyone who wishes to see. It emphasizes the importance of knowing the truth, which will set you free. The lyrics then encourage listeners to shout at a mountain and ask it to be cast into the sea, with the belief that it will happen if they truly believe.
The chorus repeats the affirmation that it will happen, emphasizing the power of faith. The next verse urges listeners to listen to these words and reconcile with themselves. The key message is to love others just as the singer loves, which brings about a sense of peace and harmony. The lyrics then suggest that there is much to do and a long journey ahead, but eventually, they will find themselves in a place of peace and tranquility.
The final verse speaks of a changing world where there will no longer be calm, as the end has begun. The singer reassures the listener that they are a friend and will never be alone, even though some paths may be closed due to speaking the truth. The lyrics hint at a time when the listener will cry and seek the singer, but they will not be there because they are preparing a place for them. The passage of time will eventually lead the listener back to the singer.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cristo" are a message of hope, trust, and love. It encourages listeners to have faith and follow the path of righteousness, even in the face of adversity.

Más allá de la creencia de cada uno (soy católico, pero hablo como músico) La Biblia según Vox Dei es una obra de arte inmortal que debería ser considerada patrimonio de la humanidad. Ojalá algún día la reconozcan por lo que es.
@albertoferreyra13
Totalmente!
@walter.fernandez.1482
La biblia es una sola y la palabra verdadera de Dios tambien. Al decir catolico no se de que palabra vwrdadera hablas. Dios aborrece las imagenes por ejemplo y el catolisismo hace lo contrario ¡¡¡¡¡¿🤷♂️🤦♂️
@kurafernandez2524
Walter, pido a Dios que el amor no se irrite, menos al tratar temas tan sagrados, abrazo grande hermano, un hermano católico
@MartinFernandezGuitarra
@Walter. Fernandez. No tengo ningún interés en entrar en una discusión como la que proponés, solo pongo en valor a una verdadera obra maestra del rock, más allá de cualquier diferencia religiosa o ideológica. Mi condición de Católico no debería desmerecer mi comentario ante semejante obra. Si tenés un problema de odio religioso es tuyo y solo tuyo, lo podés solucionar con algún psicólogo. Saludos.

No existe una canción de rock que me haga llorar tanto como esta. No pregunten porque pero desde el primer día que la escuche lloró.
Larga vida a VOX DEI ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@luiscoria85
Si lloras es porque Dios te está hablando. Jesús es el camino, la verdad y la vida.
