Not a huge metamorphosis, just a bit more mature.......2007-01-15

I think that their Volumen Brutal was an all time classic, and although this does'nt equal that, it is still a good cd on it's own merits. It has a different sound that has a maturity about it. For one thing, I just can't imagine songs like "Termites" or "You're telling me" being on this cd. Also there is a ballad on here that does'nt sound like anything they did up to this point. I almost want to say that it sounds like a Scorpions ballad, but that may not be entirely true. The songs on here don't have the personality that the songs on Volumen Brutal had, but a few stand out: the aforementioned ballad "siempre estas alli"; "El malo" is a song that sticks in your head mucho; and the closing song "se escapa el tiempo" starts out similar to the song "Baron Rojo" and also has some of the same elements but has a cool instrumental section in the middle where the bass and guitar dual it out back an forth (I think the bass wins).Only one of these songs showed up on their 2 disc live lp "Vivo"(which came out shortly after Metalmorfosis): "Tierra del Vandalos", which helped it to be another song that gave it it's own identity from the rest of the songs on this lp. This is not Volumen Brutal, but still a necessary purchase for me. As I listen to this right now one really cool song is playing: "Que puedo hacer?" It probably means "What can I do"? or What can you do"? The song is as good as the title. And yes, the ballad does sound quite a bit like the scorpions, particularly the vocals which sound like Klaus Miene (at least during this song) and the guitar solo tambien. The songs follow one another really well and they all sound good - no duds. Now I'll translate this in Spanish for my Spanish brothers/ para mi hermanos en rock: muy bien!

Hard metal at its peak!.......2004-09-30

This album is solid and powerful. The Spanish lyrics sound amazing, they flow effortlessly through the hard songs featured on this album. (their fourth studio album).

I simply love this album, if you love the New Wave of British heavy metal bands, you'll love this.

Solid metal release.......2002-07-04

BARON ROJO never gained much notoriety. For a brief span of time in the eighties, they managed to be a little bit popular in the U.K. WHen the New Wave of British Heavy Metal succumbed, also they almost did... But they persisted and are still nowadays the best metal band from Spain.

METALMORFOSIS is a solid release back-to-back. Not a single filler here, everything is harmonious and aggressive, sheer quality metal. I Agree with the reviewer Christophe bellow: the booklet is a shame, it has no lyrics, no informations, no notes. But the songs are really great, mainly QUE PUEDO HACER (WHAT CAN I DO), EL MALO (THE BAD GUY) and TIERRA DE VANDALOS (LAND OF VANDALS).

Baron Rojo is great.......2001-04-10

I bought this album because I wanted to hear a Metal band that didn't speak English and didn't hail from Germany. Well, this turned out to be a good purchase. It didn't click the first spin around, but the second time it really connected. There's some solid tunes on Metalmorfosis. "Que Puedo Hacer" (either "What can I do", "What I can do", or "That I can do") is very Iron Maidenish, while "Diosa Razon" has a chorus that you'll be singing along to, even though you may not know it means "Goddess Reason" (well, I guess you do now). I have a feeling if this band was from England instead of Spain, they would have been a very popular group. They have a very definate NWOBHM sound, kind of like a mix of Tygers of Pan Tang, Witchfynde, Iron Maiden, and Ethel the Frog, although they have a unique sound all their own. The price for this album is fairly ridiculous (stupid imports), and I felt very cheated when I saw that the inside of the CD booklet contained no linear notes. It was blank. Geez, in the age of Napster, at least TRY to make me want to spend money on CDs. Overall, though, it was worth the money. Good band. Larga vida el Baron Rojo!
