Eldorado launched in June 2014 a crowdfunding campaign with the objective of recording a new
album. 285 fans from 10 countries have contributed with 13.365€. The new album is being
recorded in August / September 2014 in Musigrama Studios in Madrid with Richard Ckycki as a
producer.
Eldorado, a totally organic, talent oozing, fiery four piece outfit who formed in Madrid in 2007,
comprise Jesus Trujillo on vocals, keyboard and acoustic guitar, Andres Duende on guitar, Cesar
Sanchez on bass and Christian Giardino on drums. Inspired by a mutual love of the raw sound
and energy of such 70’s classic rock legends as Bad Company, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin,
Eldorado began writing their own, glorious, catchy compositions, all topped with outstanding
singer Jesus’ killer, gravel tinged, expressive vocals.
An intensely ambitious group, Eldorado sent their demos out to select major name producers
around the world and immediately won over Richard Chycki, who admired the raw, authentic
energy of the band. Realizing their potential, he agreed to work with them on their debut,
(Spanish language only) album, ‘En Busca De Eldorado’, released in May 2008. Encouraged by
rave reviews and sizeable sales - in Spain alone, a country in a massive depression and plagued
by musical piracy – Chycki then agreed to produce Eldorado’s second album, ‘Golden’, and this
time singing in English.
‘Golden’ made even bigger waves on the hard rock scene in Spain and set off major ripples in
Australia, Canada and the USA, where ‘Golden’ was voted Best Hard Rock / Metal Album Of
2010 (by the public) at the USA Independent Music Awards. Witness to Eldorado’s burgeoning
profile and fan base in America is their completed 14 date (including 2 festivals) 2012 US summer
tour. Eldorado’s 2010 single, ‘The House Of The 7 Smokestacks’, was a finalist in the Australian
MusicOz Awards, while another song, ‘Atlantico’ was a finalist in the International Songwriting
Composition (ISC) Rock Composition category. Eldorado were also invited to play at the
Canadian Music Week Festival, where they went down a veritable storm.
Once they had written the bare bones of what was to become ‘Antigravity Sound Machine’,
Eldorado had to wait six months while Chycki worked on Rush’s 2011 live DVD and then their
‘Clockwork Angels’ studio album. This gave them plenty of time to launch a crowd funded
scheme, which soon exceeded its initial target of 3000 Euros, eventually raising well over 9000
Euros, a massive amount for Spain. After touring with the likes of Alter Bridge and Thin Lizzy
around the country, many thousands of fans who were converted by the band’s explosive live
performances contributed funds, proudly demonstrating their belief in, and support of, Eldorado.
Having honed the new songs down extensively playing them live, the band couldn’t wait to get in
to the studio with Richard in March 2012 to record ‘Antigravity Sound Machine’, a sublime,
consummate collection of timeless hard rock songs.
Rapidly rising new classic hard rock band Eldorado’s ‘Antigravity Sound Machine’ album,
released on November 5th, 2012, is a simply stunning, groove laden, musical delight. ‘Antigravity
Sound Machine’, was recorded at DNA studios in Toronto with producer Richard Chycki
(Aerosmith, Dream Theater, Gotthard, Rush).
Eldorado has toured intensively presenting their album "Antigravity Sound Machine". The
presentation tour in Spain, 53 dates along all the territory is "Recommended Tour" by Radio3,
the National Public Radio in Spain. The presentation tour in Europe was in March and April 2013
and in September 2013, 14 dates in the Uk, 10 in Germany and 12 in France, Switzerland,
Belgium and The Netherlands.
"Antigravity Sound Machine" won the Best Hard Rock / Metal Album 2012 award in the Spanish
Independent Music Awards, the most acclaimed music awards in Spain.

"ANTIGRAVITY SOUND MACHINE" - "PARANORMAL RADIO" REVIEWS
" When I started to listen to this album I must admit that I was totally blown away... I think that Eldorado are one of
the best new modern hard rock bands out there today and this is, in my opinion, a really awesome album ! This is
a really magnificent album, this is excellent classic Rock with one foot in the future ! I`m impressed !"
Melodic 4,75/5 - Jörgen Andersen -http://www.melodic.net/?page=review&id=11235
"The 12-track album is packed with effervescent guitar work and dynamic drumming that accommodate but never
overwhelm Trujillo’s perfect, warbling vocals. This is a guy who can scream with the best of them, yet he
possesses a range, from gravely-bass to high-pitched tenor, that is quite exceptional and very potent....Antigravity
Sound Machine is a brilliant new album of original, yet traditional bluesy sounds."
Reviewed Online 5/5 - P W Robertson - http://bit.ly/SAijsC
"... the third album is, quite honestly, a hidden gold mine… There’s a huge Zeppelin-meets-Stones vintage vibe
right through the 12 tracks, from Jesús Trujillo’s stunning vocals through Andrés Duende’s dirty guitar riffs through
to drum work from Javi Planelles that is so reminiscent of John Bonham that it is fucking scary… There’s not a
weak element to this excellent album: both the performances and the songs are soulful yet energetic, and
‘Antigravity Sound Machine’ should be an essential addition to any self-respecting rock fan’s library."
Planet Mosh 10/10 -Mark Ashby - http://planetmosh.com/eldorado-antigravity-sound-machine/
"From start to finish, Antigravity Sound Machine is a kick-ass journey through the world of retro-rock, with band
finding ample room to explore and show off their chops. Quality from start to finish. If the sounds of retro-70's
rock are your thing, take heart, the world is right there with you. What started out as an underground rumble is
becoming a world-wide roar. Rock is back, and Eldorado rightfully take their place leading that charge."
The Ripple Effect - Racer - http://ripplemusic.blogspot.com.es/2012/10/eldorado-antigravity-sound-machine.html
"Eldorado are a veritable feast of influences from Classic (Bad Company, Free, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple) to
more Modern (Black Crowes, Wolfmother, Slash, Alter Bridge) Rock, all of which are brought together under one
roof creating Eldorado’s sound. So Eldorado are another fine ‘discovery’ for me and a group I will be following
with much interest... The future of Rock is in good hands!"
Metal Discovery 8/10 - Rick Tilley - www.metal-discovery.com/CD/cd_review_eldorado_antigravitysoundmachine.htm
"I hear is a bit of hybrid sound that combines the classic bluesy rock of seventies bands like LED ZEPPELIN,
FOGHAT and FREE with the slightly edgier and harder approach of eighties rock. At times I am reminded of
Aussie retro-revivalist act WOLFMOTHER, but without the overly obvious ZEPPELIN worship"
My Global Mind 8/10 - ZeeZee- http://myglobalmind.com/2012/08/15/eldorado-antigravity-sound-machine-review/
"these Spaniards have ditched the modernity of their earlier albums and gone for a bluesier, garage land take on
hard rock with more than a touch of Buckcherry's modern groove. So, an album that will prove as comfy as yer
favourite pair of jeans" Metal Talk 4/5 - Phil Kane - http://metaltalk.net/columns/201027114.php
"The result is a an choc full of emotion and groove; the songs are tight and – as the biog points out – have a
timeless quality about them; they could have been written donkey’s years ago by the likes of Free and Bad
Company, but equally can stand shoulder-to-shoulder today with the material being produced by, say, Rival Sons
and The Union" John Tucker Online - www.johntuckeronline.com/cd_reviews/eldorado_antigravity_sound_machine
"una auténtica “delicatessen”, un exquisito plato musical que inunda los sentidos para transportarnos hacia
horizontes lejanos... Paranormal Radio es una brillante sobredosis de hard rock convulsivo a la vez que
cargado de dramatismo donde energía y sentimiento fluyen en total sintonía."
Musicopolis- 9,5/10 - Locky Perez - http://www.musicopolis.es/eldorado-paranormal-radio/483362012/
"Sueles saber cuando estás ante uno de los discos del año, pero es que cada disco que saca esta banda es
una nueva oda al rock con más clase, ajeno a gustos particulares, rock con mayúsculas, emocionante,
rabioso, evocador, duro, sutil… No me cansaré de afirmar que nos encontramos ante una de las mejores
bandas de rock que actualmente se puedan ver sobre un escenario."
Rock 2.0 - 9/10 - Jorge Bobadilla - http://bit.ly/ZnIp4O
"... habiendo dejando clara la maestría de la banda en el arte de los paisajes musicales, este disco no sería
tan adictivamente bueno si no fuera porque esas peculiares piezas se intercalan con pasteles de guitarra,
bajo, batería y órgano de los que difícilmente se saborean hoy día. Califico el disco de sobresaliente porque
me ha volado la cabeza"
Metal4all 9/10 - Edgar Carrasquilla "Gargorisi" - www.metal4all.net/db/ShowCrit.php?NewsID=12790
"Antigravity sound machine" qui est absolument épatant, alliant dynamisme et puissance, feeling 70's et
mélodies doucerettes. La production est en béton armé, les musiciens sont tous au taquet et l'intelligence
d'écriture, bien réelle. ELDORADO risque bien de se hisser sur le toit du monde musical si "Antigravity sound
machine" est bien travaillé par son label.Un album somptueux!!!"
Pavillon 666 - 9,5/10 - g-rom - http://bit.ly/QKPYxp
En effet, ce nouvel opus a tout pour séduire un large public. Alliant un son rock n' roll rétro typé années 70 et
une interprétation résolument moderne, la musique d'Eldorado sait doser juste ce qu'il faut d'agressivité pour
être entraînante tout en restant très accessible. "Antigravity Sound Machine" est donc un album parfaitement
abouti : composition intéressante, interprétation soignée, enregistrement de qualité. Rien ne manque à ce
nouvel opus auquel on souhaite le succès qu'il mérite ! A découvrir absolument!
Metal Sickness - 18/20 - AL- http://bit.ly/YxurdW
"Antigravity Sound Machine" reprend la matière, chaude et généreuse, quelque part entre Deep Purple pour
les soli et Aerosmith pour le chant chaleureux de Jesus Trujillo, tout en l'enrichissant d'une touche plus
psychédélique, laquelle toutefois pointait déjà sur Golden. Dans un genre pourtant fortement empreinté, les
Espagnols se payent le luxe de faire la nique aux plus grands. Bon Dieu, quel groupe !
Music Waves- 8/10 - Childeric Thor- http://bit.ly/W6Ivit
" Ich bin zutiefst, von der Leistung ELDORADO's, begeistert und kann hier nur eine absolute KAUFPFLICHT
aussprechen. Dieses ROCK JUWEL muss ein pflichtbewusster Rockero einfach sein Eigen nennen!!!
"Antigravity Sound Machine" ist DEFINITIV das beste Classic Rock Album des Jahres und wird nicht zu
toppen sein!!! Meine Begeisterung kennt keine Grenze und mein Bewertungshorizont auch nicht mehr!
11,5 blumige, krachende, moderne Gänseblümchen flechte ich mir ins Haar.
Rockingboy magazin - Götz - 11,5/10 - http://bit.ly/Sj5vq6
"Fette Gitarren, pumpender Bass und einfach ein bombastischer Soundteppich, auf dem die Stimme von
Jesus (was für ein Name!) Trujillo wandelt. Fette Rock-Songs, die ab und an, an die 70ies erinnern und
wunderschöne Balladen, die die Seele streicheln. Ein hammerstarkes Album, das auf ganzer Länge
überzeugt!
Medazzarock 10/10 - Melanie - http://medazzarock.ch/music/cdreviews/2012/oktober/eldorado.php
ELDORADO sind pure Gewalt und Magie in einem und wissen sich perfekt zu inszinieren. Natürlich wildern
sie in fremden Gewässern, machen das aber so authentisch, dass man fast denkt, sie waren auch damals
schon da, als Bands wie LED ZEPPELIN, BLACK SABBATH oder DEEP PURPLE die Musikwelt
revolutionierten. Ganz dicker Fisch, unbedingt antesten!
Rock Garage 9,5/10- Stefan - http://bit.ly/TsJ42p
Fazit: Superber 70er und 80er Rock dem man sich nicht verschließen sollte. Breite Furchen werden
durchpflügt und kein Stein bleibt auf dem anderen. Deutlich variabler ist der Sound anno 2012 und das ist
auch gut so. Ein mega Act aus dem Land des Sangria und der Paella ist auf dem Vormarsch seines
Siegeszuges.
MetalUnderground 5/5 - Robert - http://bit.ly/UgF0mc
GOLDEN REVIEWS
"Eldorado are one of the best new hard rock bands out there today. This is as good a new band as I've heard
in a long time. Believe it or not, 2009 is a great time to be an old school rock fan, BIG THANKS to bands like
Eldorado. These boys, aren't afraid to buck trends and bring back the ROCK!"
All Access Magazine - The Atomic Chaser - http://www.allaccessmagazine.com/vol7/issue18/el-dorado.html
"..I thought that this band could easily, and single-handedly, resurrect and restore fundamental hard rock for a
new international generation. .. Eldorado, their self-titled second release is equally stunning....Eldorado has
done it again on their self-title sophomore release. Very recommended!"
Dangerdog - Craig Hartranft - http://www.dangerdog.com/reviews_2009/eldorado-2009-review.php
"Every year there are a few releases that come out of left field and make a mark that is destined to last in your
musical memory for quite some time and with Golden, Eldorado have done just that."
Sea Of Tranquility - Steven Reid - http://www.seaoftranquility.org/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=8581
"...Trujillo has a killer rock voice that perfectly fits into Eldorado's roots metal. Golden captures the raw sound
and energy of 70s metal legends like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Rainbow, yet delivers the sound with a
crystal clear production." Sleaze Roxx - Skid - http://www.sleazeroxx.com/bands/eldorado/golden.shtml
"...We're talking non compromising straight ahead rocknroll in the same vein as Audioslave, The Trews and
The Answer. The new album sounds fresh and kicking, I especially like the awesome "Atlantico" that stands
out as the best song of this 9 track album." Melodic.net - kaj - http://www.melodic.net/?page=review&id=8139
"...This is a band ready to break and break big; all it takes is the right marriage of opportunity and luck.
Everything else is in place here. Vocalist Jesus Trujillo is an ideal front man, and Eldorado is as tight as a
band can be." Wildy's Word - http://wildysworld.blogspot.com/2009/11/review-eldorado-golden.html
"Surely “Golden” can be considered as better album than “Cosmic Egg” of the multi-promoted Wolfmother and
surely Eldorado seem to be the next best thing in Hard Rock since The Answer. Their second album has
raised the bar high, both for them and for any band that’ll try to make something better."
MetalZone - http://www.metalzone.gr/reviews.php?action=details&id=1551&lang=en
"...the album sounds as good as you'd imagine it would. Groovy, riff-driven songs with influences from the
Classic Rock heroes such as Zeppelin, Bad Co and the likes is what you'll get, and the star of the show is the
vocalist Jesus Trujillo. He has a great voice for this kind of material, reminding me of both Sammy Hagar and
Tesla's Jeff Keith..."
RockUnited - Kimmo Toivonen - http://www.rockunited.com/reviews2009_10_12.htm#eldorado_st
"...I was impressed upon my first listen and have been playing it each week on my radio show at Wicked Spins
Radio... In a nutshell... Eldorado should be rich and winning grammies... but they are indeed talented as Hell. ”
D-Day's Revenge - http://www.ddays-revenge.com/EldoradoReview.html
"The four members of Eldorado are fine musicians and play well together. Jesus Trujillo (vocals) has an ideal
voice for the classic rock style of music – a bit growly and grindy but always clear and precise. He sings with
gusto and energy... As a whole, the band is very good at setting and following a mood, and they work as a
team through all of the tracks... Any fan of classic or blues rock will enjoy this one."
HardRock Haven - Joe Mis - http://hardrockhaven.net/online/2009/eldorado-golden
"...Eldorado rocks in a 70’s/80’s way. Most of the comparisons are to bands like Deep Purple, Whitesnake,
and the more current Wolfmother.... plenty of grand guitar solos and heavy head banging rhythms. Of course
you get your “monster ballad” here and there and some more mellow rockers just to mix things up, but Golden
rocks from the press of play starting with “The House of the 7 Smokestacks”
Muzikreviews - Kevin Kozel - http://www.muzikreviews.com/reviews.php?ID=876
"...Take note of this name, because he is an excellent lead singer, who fits in Eldorado's music like a glove...
"Atlantico" and "Falling Falling" show truly big potentials and, when any band are capable of composing songs
like these, I have to take my hat off!.... In comparison to bands like The Answer, I'd pick them blindfolded."
Metal Perspective - Stefanos Lountzis - http://www.metalperspective.com/latest-reviews/eldorado-dorado_159.html
"Sometimes I am full of talking about The Answer, Black Stone Cherry o Wolfmother and I forget that the last
year best hard-rock album wasn't signed by any of them, but by a four pieces from Madrid that are obtaining a
recognition in different international awards.."
Heavy Rock - Juan Destroyer
"... I you like real rock, from all your life but looking into the future with no fear to take advantage from the good
sides of the current rock, my sincere advise is that you don't let nor this band nor this album go away..."
Metalcry - Daniel Velasco - http://www.metalcry.com/newspost/eldorado-dorado/#more-25231
"I couldn't avoid to surrender, completely fascinated in front of the quality that the new compositions amass. A
work with the ancient and mature timeless taste of the seventies rock, that may have been recorded long
years before and keep sounding so fresh next century."
Insonoro - Mikel García - http://www.insonoro.com/disco/807/eldorado-eldorado
" .. Closing the eyes, letting yourself caught in the themes and thinking you are dancing in a circle of candles in
the middle of a scenario as big as any Woodstock/Altamont/Monster of Rock from 30 years. Timeless rock,
lords, best school hard rock, psychedelia and hippie spirit, song in Spanish but with the Anglo-Saxon spirit..."
Rafabasa - David Esquitino - http://www.rafabasa.com/?p=8481
"To Toronto they went recording this second album, the result has been excellent, an album that seduces and
catch you in its claws from the first theme... a powerful album, that leave you willing for more, easy to listen to,
with a delicious sound that would please all the rock and classic metal lovers"
The DrinkTim - Felipe SM - http://www.thedrinktim.com/index.php/reviews/155-dorad
"... the band has recorded another magnificent album... Eldorado has turned into one of the most outstanding,
personal and emerging bands in Spain thanks to a work that offers the best of the classic hard rock with the
permanent look into the future."
Metallerium - Kike Snake - http://www.metallerium.com/revision_det.php?id=5350
"The classic rock of raw guitars, nerve, bourbon and plenty of road takes shape in this album in a brilliant
album. The dirtiness from Los Angeles, seventies classic taste and the elegance of the more slow songs
establish some solid foundations to construct absolutely stimulant themes."
MaxMetal - Juan José Díez - http://www.maxmetal.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1857
"the result is completely spectacular, just opening the album with found pure Rock N Rock through the single
"The House Of The 7 Smokestack", a song with a high punch where the Nano guitars are completely present,
giving a spectacular compression to Eldorado sound, that achieve with this second work an own, personal
entity."
MetalSymphony - Luis Ignacio - www.metalsymphony.com/index.php?name=Reviews&req=showcontent&id=1637
