Parasiempre is a live album by the Spanish rock band Héroes del Silencio issued after the "Avalancha Tour" in 1996, where the group performed in Europe, South America and North America. The title is taken from a song of the album Avalancha. The first part of the album was recorded on June 8, 1996 in Zaragoza and the second part on 7 June 1996 in Madrid. In this album the song Decadencia is 11 minutes long and is fully improvised in the last concert of the "Avalancha Tour",[citation needed] in the last minutes the band says: "Nos vemos en la gira del próximo milenio", making a promise to do a tour in the new millennium like the one in September 2007.

After being originally issued on CD in September 1996, Parasiempre was released as a triple vinyl on 12 May 2023.[2]
