xorcist

Xorcist formed in Santiago, Chile during the 1980s, with Mario Plaza on vocals, Rodrigo Diaz on guitar, and Juan Acevedo on bass. Their music drew from heavy metal and punk, though they developed their own approach over time. Songs like "Governet" and "Stains" became part of their early material.

They kept performing despite this, building a following through live shows.

Xorcist's sound incorporated thrash and black metal elements as they continued recording. They remained active with largely the same lineup for years, avoiding major commercial shifts. Their work influenced other metal bands in their region, though they never became widely known outside specific circles.
