Brujeria

Brujeria is a North American death/grind metal band. Their name comes from a Spanish language word meaning "witchcraft". Their Satanist, narcotic, refuse-to-play-live and masked attitude have been their passport to success, although they have recently performed live at locations across the United States and Latin America. Their songs, which are sung entirely in Spanish, are mostly satanic, anti-Christian, sex, immigration, narcotics smuggling, and politics related and also include lyrics about killing Caucasians.

Brujeria is admittedly a side project for founding member and Asesino stalwart Dino Cazares, and has featured artists such as former Faith No More bassist Billy Gould, Old Man's Child/Dimmu Borgir/Cradle Of Filth drummer Nick Barker, Fear Factory drummer Raymond Herrera and Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury. They go under pseudonyms while performing with the band and portray themselves as a Latino band consisting of drug lords concealing their identities due to being wanted by the FBI. Their line-up has changed over time however and could be different at any point in time. This is the reason behind the band's use of masks and once-in-a-blue-moon live performances.

Dino Cazares, Shane Embury and Nick Barker quit Brujeria on January 26, 2004. Apparently, Juan Brujo is the only remaining member of Brujeria left, and only time will determine what Brujo decides to do with Brujeria. Asesino's band is still going strong, and Asesino himself describes the band as the new Brujeria, because he claims that Juan Brujo was the reason Brujeria demised.
