Never heard of them...but that's one thing that is so great about this Forum. I've been turned on to some really good bands here. Thanks..I'll be checking them out!

 

[Allmetalrules]

if you do end up checking these dudes out, start out with bailar conmigo and warum...warum is a really heavy/intense song....bailar conmigo is a mix of hispanic sounding music(trumpets, acoustic guitars, and the like) and heavy guitars....theyre a bit hard to find, but its well worth the search...i mean they headline alot of european metalfests, so that says something about em
