Description

Gran Muralla It is an idea, an image, and a conflict. The refuge that protects us can also become the space that separates us from others. The album explores this dichotomy between the urge to run away and the duty to stand one’s ground.

The songs oscillate between vulnerability and rage, between the need to build walls and the desire to tear them down. Stone, wall, house, and sword appear as recurring symbols in lyrics that—more explicit than ever—point directly to the present. Friendship acts as a lifeline when everything is on shaky ground. At a time when the world seems to be stumbling over rough terrain, the need arises to call things exactly as they are. You are either with us or against us.

The publication of “Fins que surti el sol“ (Aloud Music / Saltamarges, 2024) gave visibility to a sincere and unique project on the Catalan music scene: electric and vibrant math-rock mixed with carefully crafted and singable lyrics. Their live performances have been captivating fans since their beginnings and Gran Muralla” arrives at a perfect moment for its proposal. Recorded and mixed by Pau Brugada, the band from Banyoles opts for a sweeter sound without losing its punch. Personality, raw energy, and beauty—a winning combination for a band with nothing to lose.
