Vox Dei para Vox Dei explained

Vox Dei para Vox Dei is the seventh studio album by the Argentine rock band Vox Dei.^[1] It is the band's only album with Carlos Rodriguez on rhythm guitar.

Background

Ricardo Soulé would leave after the making of and touring this album, returning later during the early 1978. In early 1974, Soulé received an invitation from Danny Peyronel to go to England, where the band Heavy Metal Kids made a Vox Dei cover: "Canción Para Una Mujer Que No Está", retitled as "It's The Same" on their debut album, which the band performed at Wembley Stadium in London. After few shows with the group together with Carlos Rodriguez, Soulé accepted a proposal from Pappo to travel with him for a season in England, leaving Vox Dei.

The cover of the album managed to catch the spirit of the group at that time: a photo that shows Vox Dei in a stage, while they themselves are their only spectators.
