With first album ’Tlazcaltiliztli’, Tzompantli called forth a penetrating strike of Death and Doom Metal like a poisoned arrow through the heart. The band’s foundation in Indigenous / Native rituals, history and lore, and merging of traditional instruments into their sound made for one of 2022’s most uniquely voiced metal records.
Now Tzompantli have again been summoned from the smoke of the ancient fires with a new offering at the altar of human sacrifice, ‘Beating the Drums of Ancestral Force’. Fearsomely brutal marches of war-like, percussive Death Metal are contrasted with melancholy passages of longing spirit and entrancing ceremonial invocations to the ancestors. The Tzompantli tribe has greatly expanded on this second album with 10+ musicians enlisted in the conjuring of wrathful deities and collection of invader skulls.
There has been no shortage of fantastic Death/Doom records in recent years and Tzompantli’s latest entry in the genre’s pantheon demonstrates its continued expansion into wider musical and thematic arenas. The anguished fortitude at the heart of ‘Beating The Drums of Ancestral Force’ exalts in the blood and ash of empire and would be conquerors, a fiery lamentation to centuries of erasure.

It's like Nile for Mexico
Solid, can't wait for my pre-ordered copy so that all of my neighbours can hear it too
The death whistle in the beginning was sick.
19:55 when I have a landslide victory in a competitive game
This makes the caveman in my brain happy
So wicked.
I cannot prove this, but I think the Aztecs would have approved.
An absolute masterpiece to add in every death metal collection. I think I like it even more than the previous record. Cheers from France !
Why nobody is talking about that sick cover art and logo?
Mexico? Very good work Southern brazilian hails
Album of the year this is fuckin crazy
Oh that good ol' Motown sound!

New to me and this is blowing me away!
in love de esta cosa hermosaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ok, this is something else. Very varied and well balanced. I've heard Nile, Soulfly, Spectral Voice and even some Enslaved on this album, and that is good thing in my book. But it is of course, its own thing, well produced and executed. Not to mention the rarely explored theme + the awesomeness of the cover art.
Theses guys should tour with Nile. Call it the "Ancient History Tour".
Fubar!
Yay
RIFFS
this is death/doom that hits like hardcore. I love it, and I love its atmospheric parts too. Really cool album.
This would make playing Ocelotl in For Honor a lot more fun
Destined to be one of the death metal albums of the year. This is astonishing death doom with a lot of percussion elements and tribal vibes. I will review it soon on my channel RAGE REVIEWS
Bro I got the Salvador flag vinyl. On my grandma this slays so hard
Track three is that a fucking Chihuahua in the background? This album is sick as hell, hits the same spot as old Nile, brutal as fuck
This sounds very similar to the Japanese Death/Doom metal band Coffins.
🤟🏻❤️🤟🏻
Pretty good
Stacking this next to Brujeria
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Last track reminds me of MSW Obliviosus
AOTY contender
💀🤘
Potential AOTY
It's the best thing to happened to metal since the creation of cheese
trop bon ça!!! Que bueno !!! alguien puede aconsejarme y darme mas groupos como este porfa? gracias !
In the words of DJ Khaled: ANOTHER ONE!
Sudden urge to watch Apocalypto
AZTEC death metal :D
Wait.. There's like 11 members? 🤔
Монотонно,примитивно,безыдейно.зацепили народ необычными этническими фишками,которые не свойственны данному стилю.Как sepyltyra в свое время в их стиле,но те играть точно умели.
Maya band?
AOTY - I hate that fucking term!
how tf do you say that shit?????
Quetzalcóatl would be proud
🔥🔥🔥
