Ley De Hielo
bioPino Yllescas - Guitar and choruses
Jose Montes De Oca - Voice and bass
Jimmy Velazquez - Drums and percussion
Nearing their fourth anniversary, Ley De Hielo has good news: the success of their first album "Seņior Cementerio," on the
independent label Aztlan Records, (distributed and promoted in almost every U.S. area where there's a latin population - California,
Chicago, Texas, New York, Florida, Puerto Rico, etc) has made them one of the outstanding exponents of 'rock-en-Espaņol' in the U.S.
Based in L.A., Ley De Hielo's members are originally from Mexico. They started the group in April 1991 with the idea of
expressing diverse musical tendencies via rock sung in their own language, especially in the Los Angeles area. The result is a solid and
powerful music that highlights the group without trapping it into a single rock style.
The demand for Ley De Hielo's first album has placed them before the national and international followers of good rock
regardless of the language they sing in. Promo videos were made of Los Angeles En Llamas and Sienteme. "Seņor Cemeterio" was
produced by Ley De Hielo and Rob Beaton, who has collaborated with Whitney Houston, Thomas Dolby, Santana, Starship, and Huey
Lewis among others. It was recorded at the Aztlan records studios, DCP/Secret Studios in San Francisco, CA during the spring of 1995.
Ley De Hielo has performed to great reviews with varioius internationally known acts such as Alux Nahual, Cuca, La Lupita,
Victimas Del Dr. Cerebro, and La Castaņeda among others. Thus Ley De Hielo's music is significantly popularizing the "made in
U.S.A. rock-en Espaņol" which is motivating them to look for new avenues to expose their music in Mexico.
The trade magazine "Rockera" (Nov.-Dec. '94) defined Ley De Hielo's public in a few words noting that "rock en Espaņol
fanatics divide their taste for rock into two groups; those who listen to alternative rock and those who prefer heavy rock. Ley De Hielo
has been able to unify these two garnering the admiration and respect of both."
