Her vanity and arrogance were so great they woke the wrath of the Olympic god Poseidon, who then sent a giant flood (and/or the sea monster Cetus). Guest singer Utopyk Jones repeats “Artemisa viene a cazar” (Artemis is coming to hunt), an expression of joy for what’s supposed to be a fun afternoon that ultimately ends in disaster (or justice, as some versions of the story claim the giant was doomed by the goddess as a punishment for sexual abuse).Ĭassiopeia was a legendary Queen of Aethiopia, mother of Andromeda and wife of King Cepheus. Both had arranged to meet and hunt together, but it all ends up with Artemis shooting an arrow in his eye, turning him into a cyclops (or killing him, depending on the tradition). The first 2 tracks are about Orion and the goddess Artemis.
And you know Greek mythology, as many other forms of religion, deals profusely with the arts of Offense, Guilt and Punishment. Thematically, the songs take two constellations and interpret them from a mythological perspective. During this process, the two alternative versions “Disaster” and “Vanity” came up, giving form to this maxi-single that’s anticipating the release of the album “Galaxias” this year on our house. After keeping this work unreleased for 13 years, El Fulminador finally resumed production in 2019, keeping the original sound and also adding new basslines, additional drums and vocal melodies.
The composition of the two original pieces took place in 2005-2006, as part of the production work for the album “Galaxias”. El Fulminador releases his first solo EP on Fulmen Records with the maxi-single Orión y Casiopea, a Techno-Pop interpretation of the outer space and Greek mythological drama.
