TENTH VICTIM - A LONE MAN (GATEFOLD) (LP)

Décima Víctima was a Spanish band that, during their brief career between 1981 and 1984, developed a highly personal sound reminiscent of Joy Division, The Cure, and other British post-punk bands. Although commercial success eluded them, few Spanish bands have achieved such a high degree of quality and consistency in their music and musical identity. This is the first time their second album, "Un Hombre Solo" (1984), has received an official reissue in its original single LP format. For this edition, the sound of the original recordings has been cleaned and improved, and the artwork has been slightly modified according to the band's vision. Despite being active for less than three years, Décima Víctima left a lasting legacy, and their influence would later be heard in Spanish bands such as Family, Los Planetas, and Sr. Chinarro. In 1981, brothers Lars and Per Mertanen formed the instrumental band Clausula Tenebrosa. After a concert, they began discussing the possibility of rehearsing with Carlos, a friend from that time and former singer of the recently disbanded Ejecutivos Agresivos. Thus began the story of Décima Víctima, rehearsing with a drum machine in the basement of the Mertanen family home in Madrid. Although commercial success eluded them, their first LP (1982) was acclaimed by the press, especially by El País, one of Spain's most widely circulated newspapers. A second album followed two years later. Titled Un Hombre Solo (1984), it was released by Grabaciones Accidentales (GASA). Out of print for years and always in high demand, it is now being officially reissued in its original single LP format.
