This is the first album released by Mexican death metal/grindcore band Brujeria.
Although this band is by no means famous, it has become quite notorious for their lyrics, among other things.
The lyrics, as well as the cover of this album (which depicts a real severed head, with the booklet including pictures of the rest of the body [presumably destroyed by a grenade or otherwise dismembered and showing third-degree burns]), have got this group's albums banned from dozens of countries.
While the band became less extreme with the years, this album still contains explicit descriptions of ritual murder, rape, necropedophilia, drug smuggling, drug abuse, and racism against white people.
Another factor that made these lyrics seem much more extreme was the fact that in 1989, 4 years prior to this release, a cult was discovered and caught in Mexico, which was proved to engage in torture, human sacrifice, production and distrubution of cocaine, and hold occult ceremonies to offer "blessings" to politicians and celebrities, among others, for a price. That last practice is not so rare from religious groups based in Yoruba mythology.
The media reported that the cult consisted of Satanists, which of course caused mass hysteria in a 98.5% catholic country, but in fact, it's much more likely that the cult practiced a form of Santería or Palo Mayombe; perhaps a combination of the two, or otherwise another Yoruba belief system.
Further reading can be found here.
Brujeria probably use lyrics about Satan worship to exploit that national scandal more than anything, even if it's clear that the cult wasn't Satanic, and this has payed off as they have received some media coverage, being called a "morally dangerous" musical alingment, among other nonsense.

Dorso - Disco Blood
Greetings, reading ones.
Today I bring you a release very far away from the mainstream. This is Disco Blood by Chilean metal band Dorso.
Dorso is one of the oldest metal bands in Chile, and quite possibly the most respected. Staying true to their style and never selling out from 1984 to this day. Their lyrics are often sung in spanglish and cover subjects of gore, sex and monsters with an overly humorous tone, and the music is typically a form of thrash metal with elements of the progressive, death metal, avant-garde and the occasional acoustic.
This album in particular features some of the best riffs I've heard in a while.
Judge for yourself, support the kvlt bands.
