Wakas is a heavy
metal band from Peru, drawing lyrical inspiration from Inca culture and Andean
mythology. Since their early years, the band has worked with labels across the
United Kingdom, Portugal, and Peru, steadily building an identity rooted in
history, myth, and resistance. Their themes often revolve around pre-Columbian
cosmology and the violent rupture caused by the Spanish invasion, framed
through figures that remain central to Andean memory.
“Real Final” is a conceptual album
built around a new historical chronology, A.A and D.A, meaning Before Atawallpa
and After Atawallpa. This idea frames the album as a narrative line across the
collapse of the Inca Empire. The songs focus on key moments and figures such as
Wiracocha, Supay, the fall of Atawallpa, the stand of Cahuide, and the symbolic
funeral of the last Inca ruler. The concept stays clear throughout and gives
the album a unified direction that is easy to follow even without deep prior
knowledge of the subject.
The production fits the material and
allows the songs to communicate their themes without distraction. There is a strong
bond between the lyrics and the musical atmosphere, which helps the album
function as a single narrative arc. The historical focus gives “Real Final” a
distinct identity, especially for listeners interested in metal that engages
with non-European myth and history.
“Real Final” stands as a solid and
coherent release that reflects Wakas’s long-standing
dedication to Andean themes. It offers a consistent listening experience
anchored in history and myth, presented through classic heavy metal language.
Score: 7.0
