Precaria - Demo 2004 (The Controversy)

"Demo 2004" wasn't recorded in 2004. It was recorded between december 2010 and march/april 2011. Then why is it called Demo 2004? Because the idea was born at that time. 75-80% of the song structures were made in that year and the other 20-25% parts were done within 2005 and 2006. Music, lyrics and even these scanned tape covers up here were made in that period which I refer as "the dormant period of the band". I began what could've been a pre-production, although the music was never recorded and I started to have timing issues with the drummer Aggula back then. We could not rehearse enough so the songs weren't ready to be recorded and in the further years I simply gave up on it. Aggula had some issues happening in his homeland El Salvador and left Mexico for a long time.

This technically makes Precaria exist since that time even if we never played live. That's why 'we alleged that the band was created on that year'. But if you want to base your beliefs on what the "local and global scene" say (yes sir, global! I wonder specifically who conforms it...?) then you'll erroneously believe Precaria was created in 2010 because everyone started seeing the project active until I got the actual drummer (Opposus) and we began to play live. Objectively, Precaria started as an idea which remained On Hold/Inactive for many years until I found this drummer who got interested on it and allowed the band to debut in a live setting in mid 2010.

I used the artwork that was originally made for the demo and released it to 25 (white) tape copies, as it was meant to be. As the artwork was not modified, Aggula appears there as the drummer, but who performed the drums in the recordings was Opposus Discordia. Then there's just one more question: Why was it released until August 2013? It wasn't only released until 2013 but also mixed and mastered until 2013. As some know, in October 2011 I lost all my gear (let's call it for it's name, it was robbed). Right now it would be pointless to explain again what happened with that person (many of my closer contacts and even OpsiusCato -moderator of Encyclopaedia Metallum- know about this case very well). The point here is that there was no more audio interface, no more laptop with Logic Studio. My guitars, amps and effects, everything was stolen by her, taking advantage of my naive error of leaving my stuff with her meanwhile I was settling on a stable place to live that wasn't an acquaint's house. This person even used my instruments for her "bedroom depressive projects" called Painless Death, Dreariness, Oppressive Light and Stay in Negativity (I don't know if she has more and I don't care).

In 2013 I had pretty much recovered in some degree and getting a new laptop helped me to finish the mixing and master of the sessions with the backups I stored on mediafire (I always store everything on 1 or 2 servers, life experiences have made me cautious on that). So the tape was finally out and now I can be focusing on all the pending stuff from more or less 2008 to the actual day. When will this finish? Never. The day I stop transforming dark energies into musical form is because I am probably dead.

Cleared it all out. Have any questions? Then stop speculating answers and ask instead.
