Estados Alterados Brings Their History To Vinyl With “Sinfónico”

The Colombian band has just put out a new album with the Metropolitan Philharmonic of the Aburrá Valley, and it was mastered at Abbey Road.

While some bands try to evolve, others find a way to grow without losing their essence. Estados Alterados has managed to do just that for almost forty years.

Estados Alterados, pioneers of electronic rock in Colombia and known for songs like “Muévete” and “El velo,” have announced their new album, Sinfónico. The vinyl came out on April 18 for Record Store Day Colombia 2026, and the digital version will be available at the end of May.

The album features ten important tracks from their catalog, now with orchestral arrangements by the Metropolitan Philharmonic of the Aburrá Valley (La Metro). Side A has “La fiebre de marzo,” “Mantra,” “Muévete,” “Pueblo,” and “Contenme.” Side B includes “Seres de la noche,” “Animal,” “Miedo,” “Opulencia,” and “El velo.” The digital version will also have “Guayaquil” and “Caín.”

The project was recorded in 2021 and produced by Felipe Carmona (Wonder B) together with the band. Mike Marsh, who has worked with Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers, and Depeche Mode, handled the mastering. The vinyl was cut by engineer Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios in London, where he has worked with Queen, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. This shows the project’s ambition.

The first single, “Seres de la noche,” first appeared on Cuarto acto (1993). With new orchestral arrangements, the song now has a fresh sound. It is available on all platforms.

The Bogotá launch included three events: an exclusive unboxing for fans and press at Tango Discos, a listening session at RPM Records, and a DJ set at La Roma Records.

Estados Sinfónico will perform in Medellín on August 14th, and the Bogotá date will be announced soon.

Sinfónico is the band’s eighth release, including Remixphera (2023), and their first album in this style. The band began in Medellín’s underground bars, playing electronic rock during tough times in the city. Recording at Abbey Road with an orchestra is not about nostalgia. It shows their long-term vision.
