Brujeria (Spanish pronunciation: [bɾuxeˈɾi.a]) is an American[4] extreme metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1989. The band has Spanish lyrics with topics such as Satanism, anti-Christianity, sex, immigration, narcotics smuggling, and politics.[5] Brujeria portrays Mexican imagery, with several members being Hispanic and Latino Americans, while the band’s name stands for brujería (Spanish for “witchcraft“). Brujeria alumni include Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares and drummer Raymond Herrera, as well as Billy Gould, Nicholas Barker, Jeff Walker and Shane Embury. They perform under pseudonyms and portray themselves as a Latino band consisting of drug lords, concealing their identities due to being wanted by the FBI. In videos and photographs of the band, they are shown wearing bandanas, balaclavas, serapes, and are often shown wielding machetes.[5] |
