Metalachi is the world’s first and only heavy metal mariachi band.
Hailing from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, the band covers heavy metal songs while incorporating traditional mariachi musical instruments such as the trumpet, violin, guitarrón, vihuela, and the cowbell. They take their music and fashion cues from metal bands of the past, such as Judas Priest, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Kiss. Their unique performance is not one to be missed, as they are known for their exaggerated accents and Metalachi-blessed Margaritas.
The band is as talented as they are kitschy. Vice music blog Noisey explains, “Since Metalachi does not employ stacks of amps, they get off on the pure energy of the songs they select. This is where the band transcends gimmick. It’s a testament to the songs themselves that they sound as electrifying through the mariachi form.”
