Brujeria Unveils New Album "Pocho Aztlan"

Extreme metal outfit Brujeria will release fourth full-length album "Pocho Aztlan" on September 16th via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The release will be followed by a U.S. tour this October alongside Cattle Decapitation and Pinata Protest.

"Pocho Aztlan" is the band's first release since "Brujerizmo" dropped in 2000 via Roadrunner. It was recorded over the course of many years and at several studios around the globe. The end result was mixed by Russ Russell. Nuclear Blast commetns:

"The title translates to 'Wasted Promised Land,' a combination of Aztlán, 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.

"Brujo himself is pocho, a man caught between two worlds. Many pochos are not exactly accepted with open arms in Mexico. Meanwhile, they're too often regarded as second-class citizens in their adopted US home. Brujo has transcended both scenarios through the power of Brujeria'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 Brujeria songs are true stories," Brujo says. "And if they haven't happened yet, they will happen."
