Acrania

In medicine, acrania is a partial or complete absence of the cranium. Progressive metalheads in Acrania embrace the same sentiment when it comes to their music, embracing not only the hard and heavy death and thrash metal conventions, but also more melodic progressive song structures as well as Latin and even Jazz elements.

In medicine, acrania is a partial or complete absence of the cranium. Progressive metalheads in Acrania embrace the same sentiment when it comes to their music, embracing not only the hard and heavy death and thrash metal conventions, but also more melodic progressive song structures as well as Latin and even Jazz elements. The band was formed in Mexico City in 2001 under the name of Necrofilia, although their first studio EP, "In Peaceful Chaos", was not recorded and released until 2007 under the nameAcrania, this due to experimenting and personal musical growth between the members of Acrania which aspired to be able to find the perfect balance between Latin Jazz and Metal as well as complementing their music with other instruments outside those "typically metal" ones. There are plenty of bands out there that are fast and loud and pretty good at it, other bands might be noisier, or spend years perfecting their gutural vocals, but no other band across todays metal spectrum can top the inventive that Acrania has shown flinging around Latin interludes (that go all the way from Samba, to Bossanova, to Salsa and more!), Typical Mexican rhythms and Jazzy riffs. This has taken them to extensively tour around Mexico sharing stage with bands as Diablo Swing Orchestra and more recently lead to an offer to play Main Stage in two Finnish Open Air Festivals. Acrania is preparing their first studio album which has already been finished tracking, and will go under the name of "Unbreakable Fury", counting with an awesome artwork provided by Eliran Kantor (Mekong Delta, Aghora, Testament, Master, etc.) and a wide range of special appearances of several well know mexican musicians.
