Existence

Existence represents the creative peak of Beto Vázquez Infinity's collaborative model, functioning as a massive double-disc collection that bridges the gap between power metal and symphonic rock. Released in 2010, the album features a staggering array of guest musicians and vocalists, a hallmark of the project's leader, Argentine bassist Beto Vázquez. Unlike previous efforts which leaned more toward traditional power metal, Existence leans heavily into progressive structures and gothic atmospheres, particularly on tracks like 'The Vortex' and 'Shadows Fall'. The inclusion of 'Arwen Song' highlights the project's deep ties to fantasy literature and Tolkien-esque themes. Critically, it is noted for its high production values and the seamless way it integrates operatic female vocals with complex, bass-driven arrangements. It remains a definitive example of the South American symphonic metal scene's ability to produce world-class, cinematic music.
