Brujeria

Brujeria built extreme metal’s strangest mythology: a masked “cartel” of anonymous members — who turned out to include Faith No More and Napalm Death personnel — playing deathgrind in Spanish about narco-satanism, decades before masks were a gimmick. The lore alone is a connective goldmine.

They hold Mexico’s extreme flank in the atlas and wire it straight into the LA and UK scenes their members came from.
