This mythical metalhead called Bull Metal was the same guy who came with the Dawn of the Black Hearts bootleg, the one with a dead Dead on the cover. It even has, as many other countries, its own metalhead who sent letters and tape-traded with Euronymous. The Brutal Death scene is kind of modern, taking into account that the country’s raw and violent metal sound can be traced back to the ’80s.Ĭolombia has a Black Metal history actually. But for those who really like Brutal Death Metal, Colombia is the country to choose.
When it comes to South America, Brazil is the country with the most successful, renowned metal bands.
Besides, I do know of many who appreciate the South American thrash sound and I think for many of them and all others who are into exploring new things it may be interesting to listen to some Blackened Thrash with a Colombian twist like the one Guerra Total offers. I decided it was time for me to interview a South American band because they do get limited publicity and deserve any kind of support one can give. Guerra Total means Total War in Spanish and it comes right from the country with the longest armed conflict in the world, Colombia. ( Karina Noctum brings us this interview with Gerson “Demonslaught” Toro of the veteran Colombian black metal band Guerra Total, whose latest album Nihilistic Malthusian Manifesto (The Ouroboros Cosmic Indifferentism) was released early this year.)
