    "comment": "“Rayos gamma” is track two on EXTINCIÓN PRESENTA:, released September 26, 2025 by Tórax y las extremidades. The album format is built around short, high-impact cuts, and “Rayos gamma” fits that design: a compact statement that implies danger, radiation, and irreversible change in its title alone. Bandcamp credits confirm the release context, which is important here because the song functions as part of a sequence rather than a standalone single. In a record like this, track two often carries a specific job: it proves the opener wasn’t a fluke, and it locks the album’s tempo into place. “Rayos gamma” reads like that lock. Even without inventing musical specifics, the structure and packaging tell you what to expect: fast execution, direct intent, and minimal wasted motion. For radio or DJ use, it works best inside a punk block where short songs create momentum through accumulation. It can also serve as a sharp reset between longer tracks, especially if you want to shift into a harsher, more urgent register. If you’re building narrative on air, the “gamma rays” metaphor is a gift: invisible forces doing visible damage. The title alone gives you a conceptual intro, then the song does the rest quickly. \u2028\n\nListen: https://toraxylasextremidades.bandcamp.com/track/rayos-gamma-2",
