Yaotl Mictlan ( close . Warriors from the Land of the Dead ) is a pagan metal band that was founded in 1998 by the two brothers Tlatecat and Yaotl in Salt Lake City .
Band history
Shortly after the band was founded, the band recorded a few songs on cassette and passed them on to Juan Brujo, the singer of the multinational project Brujeria, among others . This funded a professional recording of their first demo A Batalla Vamos in 2001. A second demo followed in 2004, which was never published and was only used as promotional material. With Ak'Ben a bassist was added. The band now felt ready to record their first album and found a label with American Line Productions that also released it. The album Guerreros de la Tierra de los Muertos was released in 2006. With Xolotl (ex-Shub Niggurath) a second guitarist joined the band. Ak'Ben finally left the band in 2007 and was replaced by Nahuali.
In 2008 their debut album aroused the interest of the label Candlelight Records , which signed the band. There, in 2010, her second album Dentro del Manto Gris de Chaac was released .
style
The band's style blends the raw traditional black metal style with traditional Mexican instruments. The texts will be presented in Spanish and Nahuatl . She is inspired by Mexican culture and that of the Maya . The colonization and Christianization is perceived as a loss of Mexican identity. At concerts, the band appears masked and with the staked heads of dolls that are supposed to remind of the conquistadores .
