The history says that Dragonauta appeared in 1999 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It wasn’t easy at all for a band that lives in a country with no tradition in Doom Metal., but time and doom goes on and after a few changes in the original line up this days we find El topo Armetta (Voice and bass), Daniel Libedinsky (guitar), Ale Gomez( guitar) and Ariel Solito (drums ) presenting their latest record "CRUZ INVERTIDA..." done at abasto studios during 2009 by Pato Claypole, this ten songs recorded on 2 inches tape with no pro tools, are the best example of whats the cooking on latin american doom metal scene today... Dragonauta may have had strong connections with the style of Black Sabbath but this isn’t apparent on their released albums. Where Sabbath had a strong foundation built on blues, Dragonauta pulls some style and atmosphere from the less bluesy parts of Cathedral and other contemporary Doom bands while maintaining an original sound related to YOB, GOATSNAKE, EHG, BUZZOVEN, BLACK FLAG.
