California  ber Aztlan (<strong>DEAD KENNEDYS<\/strong> cover)<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pocho Aztlan<\/strong><\/em> is the band&#8217;s first release since <strong>Brujerizmo<\/strong> was released in 2000 via <strong>Roadrunner<\/strong>. It was recorded over the course of many years and at several studios around the globe. The end result was mixed by <strong>Russ Russell<\/strong> (<strong>NAPALM DEATH<\/strong>, <strong>THE EXPLOITED<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>BRUJERIA<\/strong>&#8216;s legend has proliferated for nearly three decades. When the band first emerged from the sunbaked hellscape of Los Angeles in 1989, the city was on the brink of chaos. <strong>Daryl Gates<\/strong> ruled the LAPD with an iron fist, overseeing a legion of blue-suited stormtroopers who cracked brown and black skulls at every opportunity. <strong>Rodney King<\/strong>, the ?92 riots, and CA governor <strong>Pete  Pito? Wilson<\/strong> s anti-immigrant Prop 187 were all on the bleak horizon. The Mexican-American agitators of <strong>BRUJERIA<\/strong> captured the mood of the city\u2019s minorities with the band\u2019s infamous and widely banned 1993 debut, <em><strong>Matando G?eros<\/strong><\/em> ( Killing White People?), quickly becoming the Spanish-language counterparts to early grindcore masters <strong>TERRORIZER<\/strong> and <strong>NAPALM DEATH<\/strong>. Led by lyricist and mastermind <strong>Juan Brujo<\/strong>, <strong>BRUJERIA<\/strong> were alternately rumored to be satanic drug lords and members of well-established metal bands. The truth, as always, lay somewhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to right about now: <em><strong>Pocho Aztlan<\/strong><\/em> is <strong>BRUJERIA<\/strong> s first new album in 16 years. The title translates to  Wasted Promised Land,? a combination of Aztl?n, 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. <strong>Brujo<\/strong>himself is pocho, a man caught between two worlds. Many pochos are not exactly accepted with open arms in Mexico. Meanwhile, they\u2019re too often regarded as second-class citizens in their adopted US home. <strong>Brujo<\/strong> has transcended both scenarios through the power of <strong>BRUJERIA<\/strong> s uncompromising grindcore and death metal. His all-Spanish lyrics are as vivid as they are effective: Bona fide tales from the frontlines of the drug war, the racial divide, and the battle for the border. ?A lot of <strong>BRUJERIA<\/strong> songs are true stories,? <strong>Brujo<\/strong> says.  And if they haven\u2019t happened yet, they <em>will<\/em> happen.?<\/p>\n<p><strong>BRUJERIA<\/strong> is:<br \/>\nJuan Brujo &#8211; Vocals<br \/>\nFantasma &#8211; Vocals, Bass<br \/>\nHongo &#8211; Guitar, Drum Programming<br \/>\nEl Cynico &#8211; Bass, Guitar, Vocals<br \/>\nHongo Jr. &#8211; Drums<br \/>\nPinche Peach &#8211; Vocals, Samples<br \/>\nPititis &#8211; Female Vocals<br \/>\nA Kuerno &#8211; Guitar<br \/>\nSangron &#8211; Backup Vocals<br \/>\nGuero III &#8211; Backup Vocals<\/p>\n<p><strong>NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS UK<\/strong><br \/>\nWeb: <a href=\"http:\/\/email.campayn.com\/wf\/click upn=rHXxirsoe0a-2B7JDM1Z21fwGqLI4z5Oq0-2FAQlieRLHN8-3D_pJkOdcaK3csMnOYQngEYmHhxbpR5V69xWGZrFKh02MSKV5K072-2FhPaTLixxJc7guCW5nOGmhY6K6BsGwVuFTrC4pbvLOzQibD5oFvo-2BL4SKZhwQ4nWR3Q0-2FC22AujoHq2lwuM3Wd58-2Fy47nlnITupdArHUFvNRJpoRGJZaQUPWha2ntA8xrJHNHr894p-2BznGKWncAOUkRplLw-2FMYD9QQ3oQo7B865cfS41TBaJzQDynoS4WMhH1PgzmpEvQA6HWndw8pU4Fbv6LqwB4tb5yjSVgg0wjYy0sZpTr0C9L3CnXdgcwL0N8SRGtJXq5XUQh406yHpG95HK0v0PglrvJn5E5UBi8nL9NhiT-2Fk1Coc3lh8OxU2A9stFhlcB0hodgg1\" target=\"_blank\"> nuclearblast.de<\/a><br \/>\nFacebook: <a href=\"http:\/\/email.campayn.com\/wf\/click upn=ronIX77Ai5Jl5NccJTWPbWOM8CFHvMGwe8rH9YHl-2Fv-2BI6YQtc34RR3Hmsy7twYGl_pJkOdcaK3csMnOYQngEYmHhxbpR5V69xWGZrFKh02MSKV5K072-2FhPaTLixxJc7guCW5nOGmhY6K6BsGwVuFTrC4pbvLOzQibD5oFvo-2BL4SKZhwQ4nWR3Q0-2FC22AujoHq2lwuM3Wd58-2Fy47nlnITupdArHUFvNRJpoRGJZaQUPWha2ntA8xrJHNHr894p-2BznGSGFGTM3skamXUZmwK5PAbp2WNAhS-2FQamQyE5q4URR9Y6FZz919c6d9pD8vqIMGuKp57D0MYF5gohDaN8SjQXjoUp2avDmRyd89rN-2FqeZnvkpdOGq7Nv2nA-2FIrJRMQr-2FEf3pcIx8mIX1Mubgsgs95NWGklAHbClJ15T83Oit1BloMHHr3GlKimq3oReqv-2B1fT\" target=\"_blank\"> facebook.com\/nuclearblasteurope <\/a><br \/>\nTwitter: <a href=\"http:\/\/email.campayn.com\/wf\/click upn=UDmCM6mx5tz2qXq7i-2Fm2KHzMbQ8nhYkRHS3pKZUDg4AhPMlVsX16lm4PRNiHcx8q_pJkOdcaK3csMnOYQngEYmHhxbpR5V69xWGZrFKh02MSKV5K072-2FhPaTLixxJc7guCW5nOGmhY6K6BsGwVuFTrC4pbvLOzQibD5oFvo-2BL4SKZhwQ4nWR3Q0-2FC22AujoHq2lwuM3Wd58-2Fy47nlnITupdArHUFvNRJpoRGJZaQUPWha2ntA8xrJHNHr894p-2BznG8-2BFCyyiL8H3paKTNy2hjY569IPpTBLg901pmuSWoNUJ6mI2QNldAB9Vbw-2Fr-2FTzA4qsopwijMs-2FFQSXw0LPsQWOTK4L0G7tC5E2A-2BHDJ2dP0bhv6z5rPVNF-2F6rMf7bSKElcCHSE0-2Bep-2F0bl5MHcy1PtSqNfOgyceZ267h74pYkZyc2MIFcWN82cpay9UxnxTL\" target=\"_blank\"> @nuclearblasteu<\/a><br \/>\nInstagram: <a href=\"http:\/\/email.campayn.com\/wf\/click upn=VK3QSfJrPWdvSk1VmlE8p3LPgoT0jCUUnn4Ma7uLSMkO36bbOc9a1KqbHjZu5YoX_pJkOdcaK3csMnOYQngEYmHhxbpR5V69xWGZrFKh02MSKV5K072-2FhPaTLixxJc7guCW5nOGmhY6K6BsGwVuFTrC4pbvLOzQibD5oFvo-2BL4SKZhwQ4nWR3Q0-2FC22AujoHq2lwuM3Wd58-2Fy47nlnITupdArHUFvNRJpoRGJZaQUPWha2ntA8xrJHNHr894p-2BznGG6Bk36-2FA7MaLodbDtF-2BUKbNm57vCffVjYQ2AHPjHS1oVE-2B0yX959-2F3o4c7PXslVvsymCfONVtYdeYPofjr1K9KZNdzlSGRpsEW-2BrbloCPuxlanuLYdAWzBbvANDIT0Uvhu-2B4lNOcK-2Bi-2BUYfnz5UILWMkjaS8FAAaeh46-2Bv0-2Ffd1YZ-2Bid8tNo-2FOOXfgucuypo\" target=\"_blank\"> @nuclearblasteurope<\/a><br \/>\nYouTube: <a href=\"http:\/\/email.campayn.com\/wf\/click upn=bXmNnqNjYlICCpfCDWG4EpVEdrJwB0NivLpF7eEpfH-2Fp8CBbiZw3T4y0ClIJr2ZsO7LWFuLOKNi-2BQnuf4QZBvg-3D-3D_pJkOdcaK3csMnOYQngEYmHhxbpR5V69xWGZrFKh02MSKV5K072-2FhPaTLixxJc7guCW5nOGmhY6K6BsGwVuFTrC4pbvLOzQibD5oFvo-2BL4SKZhwQ4nWR3Q0-2FC22AujoHq2lwuM3Wd58-2Fy47nlnITupdArHUFvNRJpoRGJZaQUPWha2ntA8xrJHNHr894p-2BznGiA4eXGqAUNyeFwahunEtUvf7SDryjHq1u-2FNZ6SzMXqzlnYm1fkUKxKB5FGFT3lrf88OVg5-2Bul6c9vOSv0TJ3o8tgCwXCvQ0EzMYgwU-2BrzdKz02PJuPQD0griXAlNJl-2FaKl0q-2FIbvWJ17gPovc0sDEfD-2Bk6wNk8PB01tslWng4zXKDZRL59j0L3EFaCC9hjgL\" target=\"_blank\"> youtube.com\/user\/NuclearBlastEurope<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extreme metallers BRUJERIA will release their fourth full length album, entitled Pocho Aztlan, on Mexican Independence Day (September 16) via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.
