ETNOCIDIO apears in the year 1992, time in that the band was conformed by :
Juan Carlos Ceron (Vocals)
Juan Fernando Henao (Guitars)
Juan Carlos López (Bass)
and Mauricio Estrada (Drums).

At this time, Etnocidio was consolidating like a band of Death Metal thanks to its Brutal Sound characterized by very digestible but at the same time very heavy guitar rifs accompanied by a strong and leader Bass sound, and a drums with a lot of force using double bass drumms and finally by a guttural voice brutal that in complement with the rest of the band made of ETNOCIDIO the new promises of the Colombian Death Metal.

When they were prepared to record their first demo, their vocals leader (Ceron), has to leave the band by problems of health and after a great search he is replaced by Fredy Rios, who gave to ETNOCIDIO with their great guttural voice a great force.

They record their first demo tape called “Creacion”, this recording was made thanks to Jaime ocampo (Athanator), who was the sound engineer of this recording, this one carries out in “Amadeus”
It was an edition of 500 copies which were sold in a short time.

The great welcome that gave him the scene, immediately they make his first great appearance in the theater “Ivo Romani” beside bands so important as Averno and Tenebrarum, ETNOCIDIO shows his music to 700 people and they were taken a great image of his Concert.

In 1995, they were contacted by Hell'Zine (a very grateful musical magazín in Colombia) to play in that that serious the celebration of their sixth anniversary, in turn they were carried of this publication, this takes them to conversations with which was their creator and managing Cesar Mejía who immediately becomes in their manager, this it takes them to the recording study to achieve their second work which was called “Miseria” (recorded at Lorito records studios, by the engineer Federico López). This it is a brutal discharge of Death Metal.

ETNOCIDIO begins their concerts in Medellin and Bogotá, promoting their new work playing beside international bands so well-known as “Incantation “and national as Purulent, Neurosis Inc.

After a time of being with Hell'Zine Productions and for bad expertences the band, decides to separate them and work independently.

Continuing with their musical compositions and the search for new sounds to the band a new integral Christian incorporates, who like a guitarist leader gave to the band a more professional and brutal sound.

ETNOCIDIO enters to JJ Records to record their third work but this it was a total disaster. This record do not fill the expectations of the band and the recording wasn't edited. At this time, the band takes a great recess.

In the beginnings of the 2005, when Mauricio Estrada, Juan Carlos López and Juan Henao decided that it was already hour Etnocidio to return to the lines of the Death Metal (with a change in its formation and welcoming to which was its voice leader Ceron who return in its beginnings but now more brutal than before and taking to Etnocidio to what will be its new musical work).

It will be record in Nebuloza Records with the engineer Álvaro (Masacre) and that soon it will leave to the market.

IDEOLOGICAL CONCEPT

“Dark side”

Etnocidio bases its lyrical on the anger, the hate, the bewilderment, the vengeance, the bitterness, the envy and all those feelings that are not shown that we maintain hidden.
The dark side doesn't make reference to cults or adorations the dark side, it makes reference to everything that we feel inside and that many times we don't show. We allow it to flow in certain moments, unchaining acts so atrocious and aberrant that many times neither we recognize ourselves and that drive us to a nonexistent moral double full with silences and looks hypocrites.
We all have a dark side with which learn how to live, some they dominate him, other on the contrary they allow to restrain, but this wants it or doesn't make important part of each one of us and it is fundamental part of our lives.
