This morning, we received the sad news: Juan Brujo, the founder and vocalist of the band Brujeria, has passed away. According to the band, Brujo suffered a heart attack on Monday and was immediately taken to a hospital. Despite the medical team’s efforts, he passed away this morning.
Here is the band’s official statement:
“It is with deep sadness we have to announce that our leader Juan Brujo has passed away today. Juan suffered a heart attack on early Monday morning, after a day off from the current Mexorcista tour in Saint Clairsville, Ohio. He was rushed to the nearest hospital in Wheeling, West Viriginia by emergency services, but, despite the medical team’s greatest efforts, he died this morning. His family, friends and bandmates are devastated and wish to mourn in private, while they appreciate the fans’ love and support.
Due to this incident, the band had already canceled all tour dates on Monday. Whether they will return after this latest tragic blow remains to be seen. Our deepest condolences go out to Juan’s family, friends, and everyone in the Brujeria camp, especially in light of the death of Pinche Peach earlier this year.
Having just released their lethal new studio album Esto Es Brujeria, Mexican death grind legends BRUJERIA are pleased to announce that they will bring their murderous rampage to Europe next year. The band have announced their ‘Esto Es Brujeria – European Tour 2024’.
The mafiosos will present some of their new songs live in the flesh each night, showcasing tracks like ‘Mochado’, ‘Bruja Encabronada’ and ‘El Patrón Del Reventón’. Tickets are now on sale here: https://routeonebooking.tourlink.to/brujeriaeu2024
El Patrón Juan Brujo states: “Listos para desmadre? Brujeria returns to Europe this Summer to spread its Spanish madness once again!”

Italian noise rock unit ELM recently posted their live rendition of BRUJERIA‘s “La Migra (Cruza La Frontera II)”. The cover appears on Quarantine Tales From The Red Desert, a compilation released via Bronson Recordings earlier this year.
“Brujeria is a band that we all love in ELM,” comments the band, “The real-life brutalities and injustices depicted, the language, the music itself (particularly from the first two albums)… it all holds a special place in our hearts, especially this song. We had great fun performing it live at our last gig and with some very special guests who also contributed to the recording of the song for Quarantine Tales From The Red Desert compilation on which we had the honor to be included alongside other great artists such as Live Skull, White Hills, Martin Bisi, Sunday Morning, Adriano Zanni, and Solaris. We’ll be back live as soon as we can. In the meantime, enjoy this raw live footage, join the cult, and Chinga La Migra, siempre!”

ELM‘s latest full-length, The Wait, was released last month via Bronson Recordings. A fully analog recording, The Wait was captured by Paride Lanciani (Kash, Instrumental Quarter, Maniac Du Jour) and assisted by Alberto Costa, at Oxygen Recording Studios in Verzuolo, Cuneo, Italy in a week of retreat during the hottest summer ever recorded. The state-of-the-art analog environment on the hills overlooking the flat land surroundings of Cuneo served as the ideal place for ELM to fully encapsulate the mood of the songs.
Each of The Wait‘s eleven tracks tells a different tale, but in the end they are all an attempt to express a feeling; a feeling that something is coming… It’s just a matter of time – days, months, years maybe. But it’s definitely coming. What the “it” may be is still a mystery… so we toil on…and wait. From the Fugazi-feasting on Elvis’ corpse vibe of “44” and the Lightnin’ Hopkins covering Jizzlobber doom blues of “Believe Or Burn” to the neon-drenched breakdowns of “Whole Year Inn” and the spidery Entombed meets The Jesus Lizard riffing of “Kingsnake” and “Abattoir,” The Wait is an expression of the human psyche. Something restless and looming…
For orders go to THIS LOCATION where the record can be streamed in full.
