They established themselves as one of the major contributors to the Rock en español scene and are considered to be one of the all-time best bands in that genre.
When the lead singer Enrique Bunbury started a solo project, other members of the band also followed a different musical path.

Due to tensions within the band, Héroes del Silencio took a hiatus and went to Benasque to take a vacation and heal the rifts within the group.
