"Memoria Viva" is the third strike of Opeth bassist Martín Mendéz' other musical outfit "White Stones". Much like it's predecessors, this new chapter melts together disparate genres into a unique sonic experience. The instrumental frenzy migrates with delicate intricacies creating a mesmerizing atmosphere captivating the musical conoisseur. To up the antics, the energetic Spanish language was chosen to round up this multi-faceted endeavour. Elements of aggression, that can be seen rearing their head in instrumental frenzies, manage to co-exist along softer vibes, generating a distinct dynamic among the songs, with interludes allowing the listener to take a breath and appreciate what they're hearing. WHITE STONES once again recorded at Farm Of Sounds Studios (Barcelona), owned by their singer Eloi, and was mixed & mastered by Gerard Porqueres at Heartwork Recording Studios. Martín adds, "Making an album in Spanish is something that I wanted to do for a long time. We tried it out with our second record "Dancing Into Oblivion," but at the time we couldn't convince ourselves that it worked on that album. This time we did and I feel very proud of the result." The line-up has been enhanced with the participation of the multifaceted Joan Carles Marí Tur on drums (who also plays in other bands like FACE THE MAYBE). The guitar solos were the job of Joao Sassetti (who was already a member of the touring line-up of WHITE STONES). Additional guests José Ignacio Lagos (Flute) and Joakim Svalberg (Keyboards) accentuated the album further with their sound facets.
