Saint Diablo is a brutal Latin Metalcore powerhouse known for their explosive blend of driving rhythms, aggressive riffs, and fervent vocals. Hailing from Virginia, USA, the band infuses their music with Latin influences, creating a unique sound that has set them apart in the metal scene since their inception in 2004. The band just premiered a new lyric video titled “Cosmic Inferno” taken from their EP album The Reckoning which was released on July 19, 2024 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Chris Anger (III Nino, Wyclef Jean, Luny Tunes) at Sound Republic Studio; engineered by Brandon Dickey & Justin Adams at Revive Studios; and the cover art was created by Chris Anger. The lyric video for “Cosmic Inferno” was directed by Jackson Presley at PostIdol Media.

“To give fans the opportunity to become more intimately familiar with the song prior to the traditional video release, is why we chose to do a lyric video”, says lead vocalist Tito Quinones. “We wanted to highlight the idea of descending into madness as the monster you were created to be. Oftentimes, the specific lyrics and words intended to be received get lost with all of the visual seduction in the modern graphic music video. We had never done a lyric video so when we got the chance to do one with someone that really made a connection with our song (Jackson Presley) it just felt like it was the right time and the right song.” Guitarist Justin Adams adds, “We felt like (Cosmic Inferno) had a story that needed to be told on different levels. More than what a traditional music video would tell. Plus, we wanted our fans to have a little something different with this one! After just one conversation with Jackson, I was convinced that working with him on this particular project, was the way to go! After seeing the final product, he has a client/fan for life! His work speaks for itself.”

Prepare to be immersed in the emotional depths of The Reckoning, the gripping new EP by Saint Diablo that navigates themes of loss, self-discovery, and resilience through its powerful tracks. Produced by Chris Anger at Sound Republic Studio, this EP promises a riveting auditory experience that will leave fans yearning for more. The journey begins with “Voice on the Phone,” a poignant reflection of loss and melancholy coupled with yearning for solace in the midst of despair. With heartfelt lyrics and emotive melodies, Saint Diablo captures the struggle to find footing in turbulent times, clinging to memories of strength and guidance from a departed loved one. Next, “Dame Todo” invites listeners into a passionate declaration of unity and empowerment. Through intimate lyrics that speak directly to fans and supporters, Saint Diablo channels the euphoria of shared purpose and camaraderie. “Cosmic Inferno” delves into darker territory, exploring themes of acceptance and defiance in the face of inner turmoil. The band confronts the notion of embracing one’s flaws and embracing the darkness within, finding strength in the realization that every aspect of their existence serves a purpose. Rounding out the EP is a dynamic live rendition of “Odio,” a fan-favorite anthem that captures the raw energy and intensity of Saint Diablo’s electrifying stage presence. With “The Reckoning,” Saint Diablo delivers a tour de force of emotion and intensity, exploring the complexities of the human experience with unflinching honesty and raw energy. The Reckoning was released on July 19, 2024 by Eclipse Records.

Hailing from Virginia, USA, the band infuses their music with Latin influences, creating a unique sound that has set them apart in the metal scene since their inception in 2004. The band just premiered a new music video titled “Dame Todo” which is the second single & music video taken from their upcoming EP album The Reckoning which will be released on July 19, 2024 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Chris Anger (III Nino, Wyclef Jean, Luny Tunes) at Sound Republic Studio; engineered by Brandon Dickey & Justin Adams at Revive Studios; and the cover art was created by Chris Anger. The music video for “Dame Todo” was directed by Brendan McGlathery at Preta Path Photography.

“In this predominantly Spanish-sung song, the video captures imagery from many Latin American, Puerto Rican, and Caribbean cultures that (being from Puerto Rico), I saw everyday growing up in my household and Latino community abroad”, says lead vocalist Tito Quinones. “When we first wrote this song, I envisioned sending a love letter to my muse and/or the audience because I’m a jealous lover and I don’t want anybody else to have them the way I have them. Naturally, with the success of our last video for Voice On the Phone, it was a no-brainer to work with Brendan McGlathery of Pretapath Photography again!” Guitarist Justin Adams adds, “During the production of this video our whole extended family came together with us as a fully functioning team. We all worked from sunrise to sunset the weekend of the shoot. Most of us had to travel back many hours to get home but it was all worth it. We were truly humbled to know we had such wonderful talent and support from our friends, families, and wives. The time spent with band members and production team getting the costumes, face paint designs, and the getting the set ready was perhaps my favorite part of the experience, and we will never forget it!”

“Sometimes life is really arduous”, says lead vocalist Tito Quinones. “All I want is to hear is the voice of the one person that gave me strength, but unfortunately they are gone. I know that a kind word from them could fortify me and I cherish their memory as a beacon that hopefully guides me out of the storm. However, all I have is a saved voice mail and photo on my phone. So sometimes I just stare at my phone while I sit in tearful despair. The set location was chosen because it the resembled construction of a home or house, which in the song refers to a place of yearning.” Guitarist Justin Adams adds, “We always try to have as many friends and family as possible around while shooting, so that they can experience how the song’s visual genesis illustrates the energy and creativity it embodies. The day was long but very productive, and we closed the set with a good old Southern BBQ for everyone!” Additionally, bassist Zach San Pietro says “there was a moment where Tito was singing with all his intensity and energy during the last chorus. While I was watching, Justin explained to me what the song was about. Prior to the video shoot, I assumed I knew the song’s meaning, but I only had a shallow understanding of Voice On the Phone. While watching his performance the meaning began to unfold before my eyes!”

Revolutions begin with whispers in the wilderness… so if/when the 1^st shot of the second American Civil War is inevitably taken, which side of the battle will you be on? Savage Latin metal band SAINT DIABLO have just revealed a new music video and single entitled “Odio“, which asks tough questions like what it means to be a patriot addressing societal issues currently dividing the United States of America. The video was directed by Hunter Chapman at Veterans Coastal Media.

“We wrote this song about the uneasy division within our American Society beginning in early 2017 through present time” says lead vocalist Tito Quinones. “We have witnessed a lot of ups and downs in our American Zeitgeist but had never witnessed the closest thing to a second American Civil War. At first, we thought things would settle down and the song would be less of a reflection of us as Americans. Unfortunately, the cultural temperature just kept rising. We saw people on both sides of the political spectrum making the same arguments about what it meant to be a patriot and what it meant to simply be a good person.”

Guitarist Justin Adams explains further, “Odio (or hatred) is the poison we are all chocking on, and it seems to be the most constant catalyst that leads society’s collective behavior. At times it feels like the only way to survive and overcome generations of abuse and injustice is to start using the techniques strategies of the perceived enemy. This is further antagonized by the idea that those with little to lose have everything to gain. As a result, extremism on both ends of the spectrum quickly starts to become the default position. In doing so however, all we do is feed the Odio and increase the temperature of the modern drama and leaves blood and death on all our hands. There has to be a better way to stand to against our confused brothers and sisters and plead to their better angels without destroying them or each other in the process. Because if not, all we are doing is just feeding the Odio until there is nothing left to feed it.”

Saint Diablo have chosen to pledge allegiance to the revolution and the resistance (la Resistencia – la Revolución), fighting alongside those who are champions of inclusivity and warriors for equity and social justice and they’re taking it to the streets this month on a short run of live dates with Artusha and The Plan.
