Z1ul formed in Santiago, Chile around 2010, with vocalist Javi Medel at the center. Their music pulls from electronica and ambient textures, creating atmospheric soundscapes that feel more like environments than straightforward songs. The band includes Pablo Godoy on guitar, José Tomás Campbell on drums, and Camilo Becerra on bass.
In 2016 they released their debut single "Bala Azul," which gained attention for its haunting melody and introspective quality. The track became their most recognizable work, circulating widely online. After that, they put out EPs like Novena in 2017 and Saturno in 2019, followed by albums La Roja in 2020 and Mueran Humanos in 2022.
Their sound evolved across these releases, sometimes drawing criticism for being too dark or experimental. Z1ul's catalog suggests a group more interested in maintaining a particular mood than chasing pop structures.
