Last Saturday night, Foro Indie Rocks became the epicenter of a brutal energy surge as Resorte unveiled their new album, *República Zombie*, to a packed house of fans eager for the return of Mexico's nu-metal pioneers. The show wasn't just a musical milestone but an immersive experience for longtime followers and newcomers discovering the band's enduring power and stage presence.

Pre-Show Experience: Pop-Up Store and Exclusive Art

Starting at 6:00 PM, fans gained access to an exclusive pop-up store within the venue—a true sanctuary for Resorte enthusiasts. Available for purchase were physical copies of the new album *República Zombie* on CD and an enticing pre-sale of the vinyl edition, coming soon for those who crave the raw sound of the band on wax. But the store offered more than just music: posters of recent releases, T-shirts, hoodies, jerseys, and shirts were all up for grabs, each item fully customizable. A special station allowed fans to add embroidered patches or sublimated designs to their apparel, creating personalized tributes to Resorte.

At the center stood the impressive "art toy" of Rino Misil, a visual and conceptual homage to the band's universe. While only on display for the night, it quickly became the most photographed piece in the room. Toward the back, a tattoo studio awaited the boldest fans: a few lucky ones left with flash tattoos of Rino Misil himself or the band's iconic logos, etching an indelible memory of the evening onto their skin.

For the most devoted followers, a unique photo opportunity awaited: a replica of the *República Zombie* album cover, in front of which Resorte posed with dozens of fans. Not only did they capture the photo of a lifetime, but they also received autographs on anything they had on hand. From albums to shirts, Resorte fully engaged with their fans before the much-anticipated musical explosion.

DREAD's Performance: The Opener That Dazzled

At 8:00 PM, the lights dimmed to welcome DREAD, the band invited by Resorte to kick off the night. Their performance was a burst of raw energy, powerful riffs, and a charged atmosphere that perfectly set the stage. The crowd's cheers and the intensity on stage proved that DREAD was more than just an opening act—they were an integral part of the celebration. Their short but explosive set left everyone primed for what was to come: the main event of the evening.

Showtime: The Power of 'República Zombie'

Right at 9:00 PM, Resorte stormed the stage with "1995," the potent intro from *República Zombie*, which journeyed through the band's most iconic moments. Seconds later, they launched into "Zombie," accompanied by striking visuals and CO2 explosions that ignited the mosh pit—a whirlwind of energy that didn't let up until the show's end.

The setlist was a perfect blend of new tracks and classics. Songs like "Todos de Pie," "Ocúpate," "Hazte Pa'llá," "Explota," and "Navegando" fueled the audience's adrenaline, while timeless hits like "Ánimo," "Alcohol," and "Caliente" reminded everyone why Resorte remains a cornerstone of the scene.

The surprises kept coming. During "Puro Rock," LNGSHT—a close friend of the band—joined them on stage, amplifying the energy even further. Alexa, bassist for bands like HCTK, took over the bass in "Vienen por Ti," and the night wouldn't have been complete without Zyanya's appearance on "Si Hoy Me Voy," collaborating on their latest single in one of the evening's most emotional moments.

The final block was an explosion of pure power: "Modo Bestia," "América," "Explota," and "Aquí No Es" resonated forcefully as the crowd sang along at the top of their lungs. Each song was received like a shot of adrenaline, with perfectly synchronized visuals and a production that spared no expense on CO2 blasts, lights, and Resorte's unmistakable intensity.

A New Chapter: Resorte Hits the Road

The presentation of *República Zombie* was not just a triumph in Mexico City but the kickoff of a tour that will take Resorte across the country, the United States, and South America. With confirmed stops at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, California, the band seems poised to conquer new territories and reaffirm their status as icons of Latin rock.

Resorte hasn't just returned—they've come back stronger than ever. *República Zombie* is living proof that their music remains as powerful and relevant as ever. The resorteo continues!
