09/07/03 -- Durante una entrevista en el programa de radio Leyendas del Rock (Miércoles-8pm en 88.9FM), Eduardo Paniagua señaló que para el 2004 saldría la producción nueva de PUYA bajo un nuevo sello discográfico. Según Paniagua, este disco promete un regreso a las raíces del grupo con un estilo parecido a su primer disco (self-titled). Sin embargo, Paniagua aceptó que aún no se han completado los últimos detalles del contrato con la nueva disquera. Por otro lado, el DVD en vivo que se había grabado hace mas de un año saldrá antes de fin de 2003, según el batero.
02/15/03 -- Ramón Ortiz, ex guitarrista de PUYA, ya puso a correr su nuevo proyecto/banda musical, ANKLA. El nuevo grupo produjo un EP para asi presentarlo a varias disqueras. Se espera que para finales del 2003 la banda realize una pequeña gira que incluirá Puerto Rico. Para más información de ANKLA, visita su página oficial: www.ankla1.com.
6/2/01 -- Review del nuevo album UNION de PUYA:
http://www.indepthzine.com/album/puya1.html
This seems to be the summer of the Sophomore Effort.
Looking at the release schedule we have a lot of new comers as well as bands
that have established themselves as a force and are looking to continue their
stand with their 2nd full length release. After playing the March Metal
Meltdown in '99, opening for the likes of Fear Factory, Type O Negative,
System Of A Down, and Incubus, as well as an opening slot with KISS in Puerto
Rico and of course, a second stage slot on the '99 edition of Ozzfest, PUYA
finally headed to the studio with producer GGGarth Richardson (Kittie, Rage
Against The Machine and Mudvayne), and recorded their follow up album "UNION".
Now "Fundemental" was filled with plenty of Latin influence mixed brilliantly
with the brutality of a hardcore style. Horns and other percussive instruments
added a twist to their music and gained them a large following of loyal fans in
the process! "UNION" is no exception! Why fix something that isn't broken?
The percussion's are even more evident on "UNION" and the Latin influences and
breakdowns are better than ever! The only thing that might be absent are the
horns. They're seldom heard but with the boosting of drums/percussion's,
"UNION" is heavier than what most people might expect. The breakdowns going
from a Latin feel to a hardcore chorus on songs like "Ride", "Bridge", "People",
"Pati Pami", "Ahorake", and "No Interference" are sure to whip the fans into a
frenzy this summer! Of course songs like "Erizo", "Socialize", "Si Aja", "A
Matter Of Time", that begin like a page out of a Meshuggah or Sepultura/Soulfly
novel, come across as that unique style that is PUYA. Be sure to listen for the
all out jam at the end of the last track "Union"! Ramon, Harold, Sergio and Ed
have done what they wanted to....capture their live intensity on tape and bring
it to the masses in the form of an album. The album is UNION!!! Check your
stores June 12th for it! For all the latest on Puya, be sure to check out http://www.puya.net! Rating 4.5 of 5!
