BRUJERIA’s “Matando Güeros – 30 Aniversário Tour” with TOTAL CHAOS, DWARVES and ART OF SHOCK Tour Dates
In June 2020, BRUJERIA released a digital single, “COVID-666”, via Nuclear Blast Records. It was accompanied by a quarantine-style music video for the title track, directed by Juan Brujo.
BRUJERIA‘s most recent album, 2016’s “Pocho Aztlan”, was the band’s first release since “Brujerizmo” came out in 2000 via Roadrunner. It was recorded over the course of many years and at several studios around the globe. The end result was mixed by Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, THE EXPLOITED).
The “Pocho Aztlan” title translates to “Wasted Promised Land,” a combination of Aztlán, the fabled ancestral home of the Aztecs, and the term pocho, which native Mexicans use to refer — not always kindly — to their counterparts born in the States. Front-man Brujo himself is a pocho, a man caught between two worlds. Many pochos are not exactly accepted with open arms in Mexico. Meanwhile, they’re too often regarded as second-class citizens in their adopted U.S. home. Brujo has transcended both scenarios through the power of BRUJERIA‘s uncompromising grindcore and death metal. His all-Spanish lyrics are as vivid as they are effective: Bona fide tales from the front-lines of the drug war, the racial divide, and the battle for the border. “A lot of BRUJERIA songs are true stories,” Brujo said. “And if they haven’t happened yet, they will happen.”
