The musicians have long shrouded their  identity &#8212; performing with bandanas covering their faces. Lyrically,  the themes of drugs, immigration, Christianity and Satanism are largely  present.<\/p>\n<p>In 1993, the band caused a controversy when its first album Matando Gueros showed a severed head on the cover and was subsequently banned in several markets.<\/p>\n<p>Following a performance at Ozzfest on Sept. 24, Brujeria is set to  embark on a U.S. circuit dubbed the Make America Hate Again tour on Oct.  1. An anti-Donald Trump theme is present throughout the promotional  content accompanying the album and tour. Earlier this year a non-album  single titled \u201cViva Presidente Trump!\u201d was released.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: Billboard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The highest debut on Top Latin Albums comes from Mexican-American death metal band Brujeria, arriving&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6219\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
