Death/extreme metalheads...Get this!, March 12, 2004
This review is from: Corridos De Muerte (Audio CD)
This album is really great. Asesino plays straight forward fast brutal death metal with incredibly ferocious rapid-fire blastbeats, heavy riffs and sick,aggressive death vocals. This is the band/sideproject of Dino Cazares the god-like guitar player from Fear Factory/Brujeria. Of course his riffs totally brutal and even more diverse with some solos and leads in there. Dino, just like in FF, likes to play and create cool catchy riffs in combination with the double bass and blastbeat drumming. The band has some Slayer influences [Slayer is Dino's favourite band] but most of it is death and some grind. The lyrics are pretty sick and of course sung in spanish. However i would like to point out that this is no Brujeria. First of all Brujeria is Grindcore, Asesino is Death Metal and while Brujeria has that famous dark humourous side, nothing is funny or amusing in Asesino. This band is plain brutal playing pure death metal. There isn't much technical stuff here certainly not like Cryptopsy or Nile, just badass aggresive songs. I would recommend this band to any extreme metal fans out there. Fans of Skinless, Vader, Deicide, Decapitated, Nasum etc...Get ASESINO!

METAL MANIACS!!!, November 2, 2006
This review is from: Corridos De Muerte (Audio CD)
Asesino's music make most of current death and black metal bands look like babies. Emilio, Enrique and Dino are some of the best musicians performing live. Emilio's performance on drums is remarkable. Do not pay too much attention on their lyrics (don't waste your time in translating them) I think they're aware themselves of the junk lyrics they sing. Anyway don't miss the chance to get this disc.

Wonderful. A great Death Metal/Grindcore hybrid!!!, July 3, 2006
This review is from: Corridos De Muerte (Audio CD)
If I could give this album higher than 5 stars I would. It deserves it. This album (and band) are brutal, at some points technical, interesting and unique. I've been looking for something like this for a while and finally found it. Believe it or not, I actually found out about these guys on Headbangers Ball a couple of weeks back. I never really payed much attention to Dino's involvement in side projects since Brujeria and RR United. I didnt even KNOW he had formed this band WAY back in 2002! What a pleasant surprise. Its nice to see guys from respected Metal bands such as Sepultura, Brujeria, Static-X and (although not Metal) Hatebreed come together and form something so awesome! I cant wait until their release of "Cristo Satanico" on the 13th of this month!
Buy this album if you like bands like Cannibal Corpse, Skinless, Dying Fetus, Pig Destroyer, and The Red Chord (especially their "Fused Together in Revolving Doors" album).
