Description
Brujeria, a brutal death - grind band from Mexico, emerged in 1989, surrounded by mystery and infamy. They introduced phrases like 'Matando Güeros', 'La Migra', and 'Marijuana y Brujerizmo' to extreme subcultures from hardcore punk to death metal. This band represents the violent world of illegal drug trafficking, cruel retaliation, and a dark mix of Afro - Caribbean sorcery like Palo Mayombe and Santeria with demonic possession.
Brujeria releases songs, full - length albums, and singles according to their own apocalyptic calendar, just like the Mayans. Classics like 'Raza Odiada' (1995) and 'Brujerizmo' (2000) are well - known, and their topical rips of headlines such as 'Amaricon Czar' (2019) and 'COVID - 666' (2020) are sharp.
In 2023, Coco Loco, an iconic metal mascot, returns on their fifth full - length album, 'Esto Es Brujeria'. Brujeria creates metal corridos, traditional Mexican storytelling songs. Their narratives range from historical events to the daily lives of outlaws, including stories of murdering oppressors and failed drug deals. On 'Esto Es Brujeria', they tell tales from being a Party Boss to spending a first night in jail.
Brujeria's 1993 debut, 'Matando Güeros', was so extreme that record stores and distributors returned copies when English translations of the lyrics were available. But the band couldn't be stopped as word of their powerful riffs and wild stories spread. 'Esto Es Brujeria' brings the band into the post - pandemic era, with the current social polarization, unrest, and brutality perfect for their critiques. These extreme metal antiheroes can appear anytime, anywhere, ready to tell tales of chaos and fury, like eternal banditos ready to party.
