Argentinean heavy metal band Almafuerte was formed in the mid-'90s by ex-V8 and Hermética member Ricardo Iorio, joined by guitarist Claudio Marciello and drummer Claudio Cardaci. In 1995, the band's debut album, Mundo Guanaco, was released. The following year, after issuing Del Entorno, produced by Flavio Cianciarullo (from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs), Cardaci left the group, being replaced by Rodolfo Márquez and later by Walter Martínez. In 1999, Almafuerte contributed the main title to El Visitante's movie soundtrack. Drummer Bin Valencia died on October 1, 2022, at the age of 61. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
