El Principio (Alastor)

METTA's song "El Principio (Alastor)" tells a chilling story set in a seemingly normal city that harbors a dark secret. The narrative begins with the disappearance of a young woman, followed by a series of mysterious deaths involving various townspeople like the gardener, the intern, and the reporter. Suspicion spreads among the community, but no one can pinpoint the culprit due to a lack of evidence. The song cleverly builds suspense, hinting that the least suspected individual might be the one behind the atrocities.

The twist reveals that the beloved radio host, known for his charm, talent, and seemingly harmless hobbies, is the true villain. His dark humor and hidden weapons are subtle clues to his sinister nature. The host, who is adored by the town for his engaging radio program, turns out to be a serial killer who hunts his victims at night. The song paints a vivid picture of how appearances can be deceiving and how evil can lurk behind a friendly facade.

The story takes an even darker turn as the radio host, now identified as Alastor, meets his end but continues his malevolent activities in the afterlife. In hell, he becomes a powerful demon, using his broadcasting skills to spread chaos and fear. The song hints at his future endeavors, including his involvement with the Hazbin Hotel, a reference to the animated series where Alastor is a central character. This narrative twist adds a layer of complexity to the character, making him both fascinating and terrifying. The song serves as a cautionary tale about the hidden dangers behind seemingly trustworthy individuals and the unpredictable nature of evil.
