Guerra Total is a Colombian metal band that plays a mixture of speed and thrash metal with elements of black metal . The group itself calls their style "Black Speed ​​Metal Horror".

history

The band was founded in 1997 under the name Eternal Drak in Bogotá and recorded two demos and an EP . In the early 2000s, founder Demonslaught changed the name to Guerra Total and completely changed the line-up. However, the search for new members turned out to be more difficult than expected, so that the first demo of Guerra Total with the title Tormento Nuclear appeared in 2008 . In addition to Demonslaught, former members of Necroslaught belonged to the cast, so that the pieces of the debut album consisted in part of revised songs by Eternal Drak and Necroslaught. The first full album Zombie Nuklear Division was released in 2010 on the Mexican independent label American Line Prod. It was followed in 2011 by Más Allá de la Tumba on the German indie label Iron Shield Rec., Which was re-released in 2012 by American Line Prod. The following album El Armagedon Continua was released in Europe in 2013 on the Swedish indie label I Hate, the lead guitar was played by Majestic Fire from the Colombian black metal band Infernal . The fifth studio album Cthulu Zombies & Anti-Cosmic Black Goats , released in 2014, was completed in 2013.
