Pocho Aztlan is Brujeria's first new album in 16 years. The title translates to “Wasted Promised Land,” a combination of Aztlan, the fabled ancestral home of the Aztecs, and the term pocho, which native Mexicans use to refer-not always kindly-to their counterparts born in the States. Brujo himself is pocho, a man caught between two worlds. Many pochos are not exactly accepted with open arms in Mexico. Meanwhile, they're too often regarded as second-class citizens in their adopted US home. Brujo has transcended both scenarios through the power of Brujeria's uncompromising grindcore and death metal. His all-Spanish lyrics are as vivid as they are effective: Bona fide tales from the frontlines of the drug war, the racial divide, and the battle for the border. “A lot of Brujeria songs are true stories,” Brujo says. “And if they haven't happened yet, they will happen.” On Pocho Aztlan, Brujo and his backing band of extreme-metal superstars saw off tributes to Pablo Escobar (“Plata O Plomo”), recount exotic narco-tales of drug drops gone wrong (“Isla De La Fantacia”) and even carve out a customized cover of the Dead Kennedys classic “California Uber Alles” (“California Uber Aztlan”). Elsewhere, Brujo brings his trademark levity to bear on “Culpan La Mujer” (“Blame The Woman”), a send-up of old-school Mexican machismo.
