( required reading) PARABELLUM ULTRAMETAL TO SUR AMERICA...

Now we go to the south of the map, to find us located in sunny lands, lust. Alcohol, and beauty in women, the land that saw the metal be a fortress, that even bands of the Norwegian circuit have said are influences for them, not gentlemen I do not speak of burial, or the great sarcophagus.
I speak of the ULTRAMAESTROS PARABELLUM. FROM MEDELLIN COLOMBIA.

Thanks to the postal mail of the eighties and the poorly recorded demos, the primitive metal of Medellín was spread like a plague abroad. The raw and chaotic sound that could only come from a country consumed by war, impressed the European rockers who from the comfort of the first world tried to talk about a violence they did not know. The dirty and aggressive atmosphere of bands like Reencarnación and Parabellum formed a unique subgenre of heavy music, a missing link between heavy metal and extreme metal known as ultra metal. A sound created by young and empirical musicians who did not know what the hell they were doing and who, unintentionally, entered the purest circles of the eighties metal and with their songs made to the brave they influenced the parents of one of the most radical movements and Controversies of extreme music: Norwegian black metal.

Inspired by others like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Motorhead, during the eighties the bands that formed the different subgenres of metal were born. Groups like Metallica, Slayer, Venom, Possessed and Morbid Angel began to spread and create a series of new sounds, faster, darker and heavier than the heavy metal and hard rock that preceded them, which shaped the thrash, death and black metal. Something that adjusted very well to the marginal reality of many young people of Medellin who, inspired by these new movements, also put themselves on guard.

Between 1982 and 1987, bands like Mierda, Reencarnación, Astaroth and Sacrilegio began to form the Colombian underground metal scene, a move that started in a very intuitive way, with groups of young people who hardly knew how to hold their rustic instruments, some even made by facts same, and in the same humble areas of Medellin that would be the breeding ground for the bloodiest of the urban drug trafficking fronts. In this creole and primitive metal, these pelados found a way to vent the anger and frustration of growing up without a future in the bowels of a society that marginalized them.

Of all the groups of that time the most legendary are Reincarnation and Parabellum. Led by Víctor Raúl Jaramillo (Piolin), Reencarnación was one of the first Colombian metal bands that he was not afraid to experiment. This is demonstrated by songs such as 888 metal, to which they put a violin and a classical guitar, or in Funeral del norte where they mix thrash heavy parts with the chaos and speed of the grind. Although their first records were recorded in an artisanal way, they achieved a very coarse and heavy sound that showed that with crooked guitars you can make good metal

One of the bands that were the most listeners was the guys from
Parabellum, a group of dark, dark and chaotic sound that, in some way, not only managed to predict the brutality and the anxiety that was to come in their city, but it became, due to its rebelliousness, marginality and honesty, in a reference obligatory for the Colombian metalheads, and in a cult band that even reached the ears of Øystein Aarseth, better known as Euronymous, extreme metal ideologist and leader of Mayhem, the most iconic band of the first Norwegian black metal band, as well that in the south there was something similar to Norway that was a bit more crude and that it would also be an influence for what would later become the world's dark metal.
long life to BLACK METAL.
