Happy Day of the Dead

What better way to celebrate Dia de los Muertos than some brutal MEXICAN DEATH METAL?


The album's title translates to "Hated Race" (watch Lou Dobbs to figure out who that is) and features songs about immigration politics, the Zapatista movement and the drug war along with more traditional death metal themes. Ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra appears as a tongue in cheek version Californian governor Pete Wilson on one track. This music is the polar opposite of what people commonly think of as "Mexican Music", e.g. Ranchera (the polka sounding stuff that's on like four AM stations) or Morrissey (seriously). Like gangsta rap before it turned into a showcase of Bentleys and diamonds, Brujeria has got to scare the shit out of White People.
Download it here from Brutal Xpression, which appears to be an extreme metal blog in Spanish. Good stuff if you're into it.
