latin metal

Imagine blending the early frenzy of System Of A Down, the heaviness of Slipknot, and the explosive energy of Social Distortion in a Mexican setting and multiply it tenfold and you might come close to the rabid intensity that is 8 Kalacas (spoken: “Ocho Kalacas”). Not so much an ordinary band than it is a tidal wave of bristling energy, hard-hitting music, and biting social commentary, this Californian skacore collective is set on conquering the world with their astounding musical exorcism.

The legendary Ill Niño will bring a dose of Latin metal to Texas this summer with the “Ill Texas Familia” tour, also featuring Upon A Burning Body (El Paso only), King 810, Incite, Evolution Empire and Born In Blood.

Following the summer shows, Ill Niño will participate in Orlando’s Warlando Festival supporting metal masters Judas Priest and Blueridge Rockfest in Lynchburg, VA, the following day, featuring a monster lineup including Five Finger Death Punch, P.O.D., Sevendust, Limp Bizkit, and many more.

Mindsnap Music presents the return of Puerto Rico’s Latin metal pioneers Puya (all original members) with very special guests Dead By Wednesday. The two bands will be invading Florida for three dates this upcoming June.

Venezuelan-born progressive music innovator Felix Martin has announced the release of new album “Caracas” on April 12th, 2019, and unveiled the first video from the LP.

Check out new video for “La Vaca Mariposa (El Becerrito)” below.
