Brujeria is an extreme metal band. Their name comes from a Spanish word meaning "witchcraft". Their Satanic, narcotic, and masked attitude have been their passport to success, although they have recently performed live at locations across the United States and Latin America.
Their songs, which are sung entirely in Spanish, are focused on Satanism, anti-Christianity, sex, immigration, narcotics smuggling, politics and also include lyrics about killing Whites.
Brujeria are admittedly a side-project of founding member and Asesino stalwart Dino Cazares, and has featured artists such as Billy Gould, Nicholas Barker, Raymond Herrera, 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. Their lineup has changed over time, however, and could be different at any point in time.
Brujeria are tentatively scheduled to release their fourth full-length studio album sometime in 2008, but details about it are unknown.[1][2]
