Melodic hard rockers LAGUNA unveil their new single “Living On The Line," taken from the upcoming debut album, titled 'The Ghost Of Katrina.' The album will be released on July 11, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl. The track also has a new music video, available below.
Talking about the new single, vocalist Andrés Espada stated:
“The song captures the essence of living life to the fullest, embracing the thrill of the unknown, and taking risks. The song is about being fearless, spontaneous, and fully immersed in the moment. Straight up rock n roll!”
Hailing from the northern part of Mexico, from the arid desert of Torreón, Coahuila, LAGUNA is a five-piece hard rock band ready to take the world by storm with their debut album, ‘The Ghost Of Katrina.’
Drawing from the European and Scandinavian melodic hard rock scene, LAGUNA’s sound is an electrifying blend of powerful production, anthemic choruses, and in-your-face guitar riffs deriving from influences like One Desire, H.E.A.T., and other renowned acts from the scene.
'The Ghost Of Katrina' is produced by Jimmy Westerlund (known for his work with One Desire and more recently Giant), and perfectly captures LAGUNA's high-energy and dynamic style, bringing to life a heavy yet melodic sound that's both thrilling and emotionally charged. The songs feature strong hooks, vibrant instrumentation, and an intensity that reflects the band’s unrelenting passion for hard rock.

Formed in 2018 by a group of hard rock and heavy metal enthusiasts, LAGUNA’s sound is rooted in hard rock but with a distinctive modern twist. Their music is crafted to make listeners scream at the top of their lungs and throw their fists into the air – a perfect soundtrack for anyone who craves a high-octane, fist-pumping experience.
LAGUNA’s meteoric rise is a testament to their tireless dedication to their craft. Over the years, they have built a solid reputation in the North and Latin American rock circuits, performing at major festivals like Hell and Heaven Fest (one of Latin America's biggest rock festivals) and the infamous KnotFest. The band has had the privilege of opening for iconic acts such as W.A.S.P., Timo Tolkki, and The Warning, further solidifying their place in the international rock scene.
LAGUNA’s music is a reflection of the barren desert from which they hail – a place where resilience and tenacity are born out of hardship. As guitarist José Mesta explains, “Long before it was a desert, it was a lagoon, but dried out thousands of years ago, leaving nothing but snakes and rats, yet deep down beneath the surface, water flows through the caverns of this great desert”. This metaphor speaks to the essence of LAGUNA – a band born from the depths of hardship, yet ready to rise with the power and energy that only hard rock can bring.
LAGUNA is set to make waves across the global rock scene. Their blend of melodic hooks, heavy riffs, and explosive energy will leave listeners craving more. This is only the beginning for LAGUNA, and they are poised to continue proving that Mexicans can indeed rock!
