El Sangriento

Avernal's song 'El Sangriento' delves into the dark and violent psyche of a character who revels in inflicting pain and suffering. The lyrics are stark and brutal, painting a vivid picture of a person who takes pride in their ability to cause deep, lasting harm. The repeated lines, 'Nunca antes viste sangre en mi rostro, nunca sufriste como hoy, nunca vas a olvidar que yo soy el sangriento,' emphasize the character's transformation into a figure of terror and the unforgettable impact they have on their victim.

The song's narrative is chilling, with the protagonist describing their actions without remorse. Lines like 'puedo bañarte en tu propia sangre y dejarte en agonía' and 'soportaré tus gritos y el llanto, sin dejarme conmover' highlight a complete lack of empathy and a sadistic pleasure in the suffering of others. This portrayal of a nightmare figure, who is both the cause and witness of extreme pain, creates a haunting atmosphere that is both disturbing and compelling.

Avernal, known for their intense and aggressive musical style, uses 'El Sangriento' to explore themes of violence and fear. The song's raw and unflinching lyrics are a testament to the band's ability to confront dark and uncomfortable subjects head-on. By embodying the persona of 'El Sangriento,' the band invites listeners to confront the darker aspects of human nature and the terrifying potential for cruelty that exists within us all.
