deathgrind band fromLa Coruña , (Spain ) formed in 1994. They are one of the few surviving bands in the Spanish underground extreme music scene of the nineties.History
Machetazo were formed in
La Coruña ,Spain in1994 as a side project of two otherdeath metal bands from the area. Initially, they were morenoisecore -oriented thangrindcore . They recorded two demos, "46 cabezas aplastadas por un yunque oxidado" in 1995, and " "Realmente disfruto comiendo cadáveres" in 1997. The latter was an international underground success, and in1999 was remastered by the American labelFudgeworthy Records .At this point Machetazo stopped being a side project and became a band in its own right, although line-up problems forced them to conntinue with only two members. They recorded their first
album "Carne de cementerio" in1999 , which was released byRazorback Records . After this they released numerous split singles. With Dopi as the sole surviving original member together with the new guitarist Rober, Machetazo recorded their second full length, "Trono de Huesos" (2002 ). In this work the band gives tribute to the seminal grind sound in a work in the vein of bands like Carcass or Repulsion. After the recording of "Trono de Huesos" Machetazo created a more stable line-up, that still exists today: Dopi (drum s and vocals); Carlos "Cadaver" (bass and vocals); and Rober (guitar ).After testing this line-up with two singles, Machetazo released their third full length in
2005 , " "Sinfonías del Terror Ciego", aconcept album about the Spanish film makerAmando de Ossorio . This record brought them to a wider audience than ever before and2006 was a year of intense touring and projects. They released a split single withTotal Fucking Destruction on the American labelRelapse Records in 2006.Members
