Emerging from Mérida, Yucatán, Decrypter has carved its name into the extreme metal scene with an uncompromising sound that blends death metal, black metal, and blackened death metal. Formed in 2011, the band has steadily evolved into one of Mexico’s most promising forces in heavy music, known for its dark atmospheres, aggressive riffs, and haunting melodies.
The band’s lineup features Azael Pérez “Rodsix” on vocals, Giovanny Arjona and Enrique Tejeda on guitars, Hugo Gutiérrez on bass, and Oscar Barrera on drums. Together, they craft a sound that is both ferocious and cinematic — a collision of chaos and precision that reflects the essence of extreme metal.
Their upcoming album, Nechronicles (2025), captures the band at their most intense and inspired. The record dives deep into cosmic horror themes, exploring the darker corners of existence through intricate compositions and relentless energy. With each track, Decrypter pushes the limits of aggression and melody, delivering an immersive experience for fans of extreme music.
What sets Decrypter apart is their commitment to atmosphere and storytelling. Rather than relying solely on brutality, their music weaves layers of melody and tension, creating a unique sonic identity that resonates with fans of death and black metal alike. Their lyrics and visuals reflect a fascination with the unknown — exploring human fear, cosmic dread, and the chaos of existence.
Decrypter’s dedication to production and audiovisual storytelling enhances their impact. Their work reflects a clear vision: to elevate Mexican metal to global recognition while staying true to their underground roots.
