Since forming in 2013, the band has established a reputation for delivering unrelenting, genre-blending metal with a distinct edge. Their most recent album, "Confines de la cordura," released in 2022, demonstrates their dedication to pushing the boundaries of heavy music and highlights the raw intensity that has become their signature.
