A Los Angeles band whose violent, drug-fueled lyrics sparked debates about hate speech.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Consejos Narcos' or 'La Migra (cruza La Frontera II)'. They're as raw and unapologetic as ever.
Brujeria matters because they carved out a confrontational space in extreme metal with Spanish lyrics that tackled immigration and narcoculture head-on. Their 1993 song 'Matando Güeros' became notorious for its explicit content, drawing criticism while cementing their underground reputation. Tracks like 'Consejos Narcos' and 'La Migra (cruza La Frontera II)' kept that raw, aggressive sound alive for decades, never softening their stance.
They formed in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, with 'Matando Güeros' setting the tone in 1993. Albums like 'Raza Odiada' in 1995 and 'Brujerizmo' in 2000 continued their themes, and they've put out work as recently as 2016 with 'Brujeria: 6.6.6'. The lineup has shifted, but vocalist Juan Brujo and their uncompromising approach have remained.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
