Tierra Santa
Tierra Santa is a Spanish heavy metal band from La Rioja, Spain. The band was formed in 1991 as "Privacy", and changed its name to Tierra Santa (which means "Holy Land", because of their middle-age themed lyrics) in 1997. The band released their debut album Medieval that same year, touring with Dio as an opening act on the American band's Spanish tour. From then on, together with bands such as Mägo de Oz, Saratoga or Avalanch, Tierra Santa became one of the main exponents of the heavy/power metal sung in Spanish that spread at the end of the 20th century, as well as one of the essential bands of Spanish metal in general, achieving success both in their native country and in Latin America. In 2004 they toured through the United States for the first time.
