El Hachador

Gillman's song 'El Hachador' delves into the eerie folklore of a haunted woodsman lost in the mountains of San Casimiro. The narrative begins with the protagonist venturing into the forest at dusk, armed and ready for a hunt. As night falls, an unsettling chill sets in, and the protagonist hears the ominous sound of an axe chopping through the forest. This sets the stage for a supernatural encounter with 'El Hachador,' a spectral figure wielding an axe.

The chorus serves as a cautionary tale, warning against hunting out of sheer ambition, lest one face the wrath of 'El Hachador.' As the night progresses, the protagonist's unease grows, and the sounds of the axe draw nearer. Suddenly, a monstrous figure emerges from the dense forest, paralyzing the protagonist with fear. The spectral woodsman begins to chop down the tree where the protagonist is hiding, displaying a supernatural fury.

In a climactic moment, the tree crashes down, and the woodsman lets out a triumphant growl. Just as the axe is about to strike the protagonist, the crowing of a rooster breaks the spell, saving him from certain death. The song concludes with the protagonist recounting the harrowing experience, which lasted seven days and nights, leaving him on the brink of madness and death. 'El Hachador' is a chilling tale that blends elements of horror and folklore, warning listeners of the dangers that lurk in the dark woods and the consequences of unchecked ambition.
