History edit
The band was founded by guitarist Andres Jaramillo and drummer Alfonso Pinzón of Agony,[2] and Vincent Price of Body Count, as a side project. Lacking a vocalist, they invited other singers to write lyrics and record vocals over their music.
Their first release, the Day of the Dead EP, was recorded at Dungeon Studios in Los Angeles,[3] mixed by Roy Z, and released on Cinismo Records in 2005. It featured vocals by Tony Campos (Static-X, Fear Factory), Andres Gimenez (A.N.I.M.A.L.), Loana dP Valencia (Dreams of Damnation), and Alex Oquendo (Masacre).[4]
In 2006, Dia De Los Muertos performed at the Colombian rock festival Rock al Parque in Bogotá.[5]
In 2011, the band issued their debut full-length album, Satanico-Dramatico, with Loana dP Valencia on vocals, Adrian Villanueva on guitar, and Alejandro Corredor on bass.[6]
In 2013, Dia De Los Muertos embarked on a Latin American tour, with Mexican singer Rosa Arias joining the band. They performed at the Metal Fest in Santiago, Chile,[7] Teatro Flores in Buenos Aires, Argentina—opening for Carcass,[8] Hell & Heaven Metal Fest in Guadalajara, Mexico,[9] and Del Putas Fest in Medellin, Colombia.[10] The band then returned to Mexico for a second time, then headed to Europe to play Resurrection Fest in Spain.[11]
A year later, Dia De Los Muertos released their next record, the EP No Money – No Fiesta.[12]
