Witchcraft
Brujeria is a deathgrind band formed in Tijuana by American musicians of Latin origin. Their name comes from the Spanish word meaning "witchcraft". Their songs, which are entirely sung in Spanish, focus on Satanism, anti-Christianity, sex, immigration, drug trafficking, and politics.
The group is a side project of founding member Asesino ( Dino Cazares ) – who left the band in 2004 – and has featured artists such as Billy Gould, Nicholas Barker, Raymond Herrera, Jeff Walker, and Shane Embury.
They perform under pseudonyms and present themselves as a Latin band, supposedly made up of drug traffickers, which is why they hide their real names (because they are wanted by the FBI). The lineup has changed several times.
