Production

Intérpretes is the second work produced by Hermética, after the 1989 Hermética album. At that point, the label Trípoli Discos could provide only 27 hours of recording time. The band accepted the proposal. Lacking new songs, the band recorded a cover album. The bassist Ricardo Iorio commented that they were not really interested in receiving royalties, and thus had no problems in recording covers.[1]

One of the songs is a thrash metal version of the tango Cambalache.[1] Iorio commented that the lyrics of the song, written in the 1930s, were still vigent, and close to the lyrics of Hermética. He also played the song as an homage to Enrique Santos Discépolo, a tango artist that influenced him, and pointed that the song is well known in neighbour countries.[1]

The band recorded as well "Destrucción" and "Ideando la fuga", two songs of V8, Iorio's previous band. Iorio commented that he does not like the songs as they were recorded by V8, because the albums (Luchando por el Metal and Un Paso Mas En La Batalla, respectively) had a weak production. He recorded them in Intérpretes because he considered that Hermética could play them better. Both songs were already included in the band's regular set of songs.[1]

The album had similarities with the contemporary Metallica's cover album The $5.98 E.P. - Garage Days Re-Revisited. Iorio pointed that he was a fan of Budgie when he was aged 11, and saw with great pride that a prominent heavy metal band played one of their songs. The band included as well a cover of Motörhead's song No Class. It was the only song in English recorded by Hermética.[1]

gollark: I really love how everything runs on a vastly complex edifice of highly abstract systems which literally nobody understands any more.
gollark: I know, it's just that without any containers running those shouldn't reach several gigabytes in size.
gollark: Which is weird, since I don't think I actually had any Docker containers.
gollark: Yes, this is apparently what filled up my disk.
gollark: I am very annoyed by how moderately often my servers fill their entire disk with logfiles. Who *designed* this?
