FINALLY!! I
apologize for the great delay here folks (6 years to be exact)! I hope that for
some of you it was worth the wait. The first thing I feel
I should mention is that this was not intended
to be the final mix/recording. After tedious mishaps
with time scheduling and whatnot, our studio
engineer decided to go digital, meaning our analog
recordings became extinct! Sucks, but life goes/went
on. Thankfully, my good friend Blakk from AngelKill
re-mastered this little puppy for me! Thanks a
million brother! Although there are noticeable
flaws to my ears, and should have been better
in quality, it is definitely 10x better than the
first two demos, so I must not complain.
Anyway, an explanation is definitely due! This recording was produced in 1998 and was going to be released by Richard C. and Wild R. Records (R.I.P.), but as we know, he went under, so that sucked for us and everyone else involved! I had every intention releasing this recording after that deal fell through, but the band broke up soon after the recording and they didn't want to help out with $$ on something that wasn't, which makes a little sense to me, still yet...... All the money I was able to use for things other than my bills was used towards The Outcast, so....
For
those of you who may own or have heard the first two demos, you will notice
once you listen to the songs that all of the tracks listed on this site are
re-recordings of all the older songs, with the exception of "Mi Testigo" and "Angel
de la Enfermedad",
a song I dedicate to Morbid Angel. One might also take notice the change
I made on the lyrics and certain titles of the songs. The reason being
that my beliefs changed course during the recording. I wouldn't
have felt right releasing this with lyrics I didn't believe in any more, you
know?
Now, I would like to thank the following for helping El Pecado out in every way possible during the time we existed. If I left anyone out, I apologize, it's been six freaking years folks!!
The first person I definitely want to thank is Aaron Jones for the layout and all the other stuff he's helped me out with in the past. Not only with El Pecado but with The Outcast as well! Gracias chico!! Saludos Mariona!!

the fans for waiting this long and for the unconditional support, even
after all these years!!
Quiero decirles a todos los que escucharon los primeros 2 demos, que las palabras y las creencias que tuve, era por el odio y todo lo negativo que tenia adentro. Hay mucha mierda en este mundo, pero si hay un Dios que nos ama. Es difcil creer en lo que no se ve, pero habran su corazon y lo veran. Te digo esto porque he sentido algo que no es de este mundo. Hay muchas cosas que te pueda hablar acerca de lo que senti. Si gustan oir mas, escriban me. Mis ultimas gracias se las doy a Dios. Gracias y adios.
