Misas Negras (Brujeria)

Asesino's song 'Misas Negras (Brujeria)' delves into the dark and macabre world of black masses and witchcraft. The lyrics paint a vivid and disturbing picture of rituals that involve blood, sacrifice, and the invocation of dark powers. The song opens with a call for 'putas, rateros y drogadictos' (prostitutes, thieves, and drug addicts), setting a grim tone that suggests the gathering of society's outcasts for a sinister purpose. The repeated mention of 'sangre podrida' (rotten blood) emphasizes the corruption and decay that permeate these rituals.

The song's protagonist expresses gratitude to a dark king, likely a reference to Satan, for the power they possess. The imagery of lighting candles and bringing a machete indicates the preparation for a sacrificial ceremony. The 'padre negro' (black father) awaiting his sacrifice further cements the song's connection to dark, satanic rituals. The lyrics describe the brutal act of binding a victim, stripping them, and using a sharp machete to decapitate them, offering their soul to Satan in exchange for power.

'Misas Negras (Brujeria)' is a stark portrayal of the lengths to which individuals might go to gain power through dark means. The song's repeated chant of 'misas negras' (black masses) serves as a chilling reminder of the ritualistic and repetitive nature of these acts. Asesino's aggressive musical style, characterized by heavy guitar riffs and guttural vocals, complements the song's dark themes, creating an atmosphere of dread and intensity. This song is a reflection of the band's exploration of extreme and taboo subjects, pushing the boundaries of conventional music to evoke strong emotional responses from their audience.
