Drawing from black, doom, and industrial metal influences, SIGLOS blends both Mexican and U.S. inspirations to deliver a captivating sound, showcased in their ancestral-themed debut EP, Rituales Sagrados, released in January 2023.
Renowned for their atmospheric and intense live performances, SIGLOS often incorporates shamanic rituals, immersing both band and audience in a powerful, sacred journey through time and space
The five piece will make their UK debut at Bloodstock this coming August, performing on Sunday, August 10th on the Sophie Lancaster Stage under, Thrown, 3 Inches of Blood, and Obituary.
Consisting of five tracks rooted in black metal, doom metal and industrial metal, the quintet are also releasing the featured single and music video for ‘El Paso De Mis Ancestros’.
The second EP follows on the heels of the their debut EP Rituales Sagrados and singles Morir Para Vivir and Por Los Siglos, and was also produced, mixed and mastered by Alex Crescioni of Stygian Sound. In reference to teaming up with Crescioni again for Renacer De Las Cenizas and SIGLOS’ evolving career, Grammy-nominated guitarist, songwriter, and founding member, Sin Quirin said this EP is about pushing boundaries.
“Throughout my career, I’m often thought of as that guitar player from Ministry, and there’s so much more music inside me that I’m starting to flex now with SIGLOS,” said Quirin. “I don’t want to be complacent and stagnant when it comes to songwriting, and this new EP {and SIGLOS} helped me to push myself and continue to do so.”
One of the first singles on this EP is El Paso De Mis Ancestros, which features a corresponding music video filmed, directed and edited by cinematographer Bobby Field. The music video includes footage of the band in the recording studio, giving behind the scenes looks at their recording process and ritual roots.
“All of the footage was shot in the recording studio and shows off some of the spiritual tools Pedro (Sanchez) uses for performing,” commented Quirin. “Ritual is a big part of SIGLOS and something Pedro really brought forth with this band.”
