Five tracks, two patterns of authorship
For Survival is a 5-track EP dated November 7. Falsimonian opens the sequence with Freefall and closes it with the title track. Erick Valverde wrote every lyric. Composition has an exception: Judgment is jointly credited to Jesus Fuentes Valverde and Cesar Robles, while the other music is credited to Jesus Fuentes Valverde. That distinction identifies a division of work obscured when a release is described only by its band name. One group name reaches the listener; the partnership behind the compositions varies by track.[1]
Robles’s contribution extends beyond the composition credit. He plays lead guitar on the final 3 tracks, Limitless, Judgment and For Survival, and recorded and edited their additional guitars. Shared composition is specified only for Judgment. Performance and authorship therefore have different boundaries on this EP. Keeping those roles distinct prevents a guitarist’s presence on a track from being mistaken for a share in its composition. The credits give the listener that first useful distinction: participation need not follow the same pattern as authorship.[1]
Two roles in the rhythm section
The rhythm credits make another distinction. Moritz Gonzalez plays drums; Jesus Fuentes Valverde supplies bass programming. Ruben Sanchez engineered the drums at Urvn Studios. Performed drums and programmed bass appear within the same release, making the studio’s division of labour visible in the personnel list. These credits cannot establish the precision of the tempo, the force of the beat or how the two parts sound together. Those judgments require the audio itself. What the credits establish is responsibility for each contribution.[1]
Jesus Fuentes Valverde’s roles span composition, production, guitar, keyboards and bass programming. Gil Andrade handles mixing and mastering. Several creative tasks are concentrated in one person, while a separate stage in shaping the finished audio is assigned to another. That division cannot by itself measure musical achievement. Its value to a listener is more practical: a later comparison of arrangements or performances can start with a clear account of which contributions are being compared.[1]
The forces a live version would need
How this EP might be translated to the stage has not been announced. Retaining the programmed bass, assigning it to a player or rearranging it would be different options. If such a choice is made, the starting point for hearing the change is already identifiable: drums by Gonzalez, bass programming by Jesus Fuentes Valverde and lead guitar on the final 3 tracks by Robles. This is For Survival’s modest but useful clarity. Before any later interpretation appears, the division of work in this edition can be named by contributor and by track.[1]
