Deathcore Act SARCOMA Present New Explosive Single "En Llamas"

"En Llamas", which translates to "on fire, or in flames" is an explosion of aggression. The latest single to land from Ecuador's extreme metal act SARCOMA, it is a brutal and ferocious offering designed for the mosh pit. "En Llamas" arrives ahead of SARCOMA's forthcoming album that is set to release later in 2026. 

SARCOMA comment on "En Llamas":
"From its inception, when there were just a couple of riffs, we immediately got the feeling that this one was meant to be about violence and perfect for frantic moshpits. Lyrics refer to exhaustion, laceration and the burning sensation of a deadly circle pit.

It's all about avoiding being crushed by this deadly vortex while the band keeps feeding it with a fiery beat.

The same overlaying theme of proving oneself is also subtly present, this time in the live show scenario."

Musically, "En Llamas" is a hybrid of Latin and extreme metal styles. The track is powered by beats drawing from Latin and modern death metal, with blackened death metal riffs and a Latin / metallic hardcore chorus. Over the course of the song's arrangement, there is a further sonic shift and the track ends with a progressive breakdown and an apocalyptic mood. 

Obliterating rhythms establish the untamable power of "En Llamas" in the first moments of the track. Eerie dissonance returns throughout the track's arrangement enhancing a dark tension and sense of unease. Contrasting intense speed with a slow and unrelenting pace, "En Llamas" demonstrates SARCOMA's extreme nature over multiple forms. 

Hidden ahead of the first chorus is the subtle audio sample, “welcome to hell”. A brief line of dialogue from Pinhead to one of his victims, it was taken from one of the Hellraiser movies. This continues SARCOMA's theme of utilizing audio samples to enhance the themes of their music. 

"En Llamas" was produced by Juan Pablo Flores and recorded at Valley of the Death recording studio. The single was mixed and mastered by Juan Pablo Rivas. 

About SARCOMA:
SARCOMA is the first Spanish-language deathcore band in the world. Formed in Quito, Ecuador, in 2006, the quartet launched their debut EP Silenciosa Tortura independently that same year. 2016 brought a hiatus until seven years later, in 2023, original members Santiago Romero and Juan Pablo Flores returned to write new music, now joined by Andrés Jaramo (drums) and Andrés Éguez (bass). 

During SARCOMA's first incarnation, following the first EP, the band released the debut, self-titled full-length album in 2008 with the Esclavitud del Siglo XXI EP arriving in 2013. The band embarked on a heavy national and international touring schedule in neighboring countries. 

SARCOMA's unmistakable style, technical precision, and impressive live performances led them to be considered, by the media and the public alike, as the undisputed "fathers of deathcore" in South America. In early-mid noughties, the band's unique mix of hardcore and death metal elements was something unheard of in the country at the time.

The band's sound draws influence from the likes of DECAPITATED, DYING FETUS, KNOCKED LOOSE, SEPULTURA, DESPISED ICON, GOJIRA, with the addition of progressive elements and a thematic focus on their life experiences and environment of Latin America.

2023 saw the band return with renewed vigor and intent unleashing the EP Mesak, the live releases Al Rojo Vivo and En Vivo En Quito in 2024, and "Divino Poder" single in 2025, all via Valley of the Death. SARCOMA wasted no time returning to the live stage in 2023 venturing on the Mesak Ecuador National Tour, along with performances at Mechanimal Fest and Quitofest.

Ecuador's Deathcore Ensemble SARCOMA Unleash "Reinos Fallidos"

A deafening descent awaits in "Reinos Fallidos". Ecuador's SARCOMA indulge in an extreme assault on the senses in their newest single, which translates to "Failed Kingdoms". The track arrives ahead of SARCOMA's forthcoming full-length album that is set to release later in 2026. 

In "Reinos Fallidos", SARCOMA explore the theme of resilience drawing from their own hiatus taken in 2016 and the changes they encountered in their local scene at their return in 2023. The band present a powerful fusion of classic thrash and powerful modern metallic hardcore in this new offering. 

The track journeys through a devasting array of crushingly heavy sections. Opening with a dissonant lead, "Reinos Fallidos" speeds ahead into a fast-paced onslaught of intense driving guitars and Santiago Romero's fierce harsh vocals. An eerie moment of anticipation suddenly interrupts the heavy sound before the instrumentation unleashes a slower, methodical, pounding rhythm. Discordant harmonics and backing synth layers manifest a dark atmosphere. 

As "Reinos Fallidos" progresses towards its end, the musical arrangement shifts once more. The track incorporates further movement into the heavy instruments alongside technical riffs and glitches before slowing down to a deadly, abrupt end. 

The audio sample present at the beginning of the track contains a well-known quote by Ecuadorian painter Oswaldo Guayasamin (1919-1999), taken from his speech at the laying of the foundation stone of the “Capilla del Hombre”, his magnum opus. In this speech, Guayasamin strongly expressed his pride in his ethnic heritage and Latin American identity, affirming the connection to his people and his indigenous roots.

"Reinos Fallidos" was produced by Juan Pablo Flores and recorded at Valley of the Death recording studio. The single was mixed and mastered by Juan Pablo Rivas. 

Deathcore Ensemble SARCOMA Present Video For "Sucio Carbón"

The ferocious thrash infused "Sucio Carbón", that translates to "Filthy Coal", is the newest offering from Ecuador's SARCOMA. Descending into a plethora of extreme styles, the initial intensity of the track soon leads into the realms of death and grind before reaching an obliterating end. SARCOMA's forthcoming full-length album is set to arrive later in 2026. 

"Sucio Carbón" addresses the destructive and damaging impact of consumerism in Latin America. The lyrics of the song are written "about how millions of lives are turned hollow by the intoxicating effect of materialism and greed, and how they cast a veil of fog on our reason, in favor of collecting junk and soon to be junk. There’s metaphorical instances of drowning in a sandglass and being willfully thrown into slave labor in an office, painting a tumultuous picture of consumerism delirium."

Amidst the thundering heaviness, brutal gutturals and engrossing arrangements, SARCOMA include a number of audio samples across their tracks. "Sucio Carbón" is no different, featuring a clip taken from the “Planet of the Apes” film, 1968.

"Sucio Carbón" was produced by Juan Pablo Flores and recorded at Valley of the Death recording studio. The single was mixed and mastered by Juan Pablo Rivas.

Deathcore Act SARCOMA Unleash Video For "Ahora Voy Yo"

Ecuador's SARCOMA have unveiled the ferocious new single "Ahora Voy Yo" with an accompanying music video. The deathcore ensemble obliterates with unyielding heaviness, explosive riffs and brutal gutturals.

Released via Valley of the Death, "Ahora Voy Yo", which translates to "Now I Go", is the first single to land ahead of the bands forthcoming full-length album set to arrive later in 2026. 

"Ahora Voy Yo" addresses the issue of integrity. It forces artists to confront their egos and their authenticity. "The whole song revolves around the deep regret of long time procrastination and unbalanced ego, when confronted by the urge to prove oneself and grow as long as we live." The band explain. "All audio samples in the song come from 'Ratas, Ratones, Rateros', a hugely successful 1999 Ecuadorian movie, from director Sebastián Cordero. The spoken lines allude to a dead body, which in the lyrical setting is metaphorical, as an underachiever is better off dead."

The new single, "Ahora Voy Yo", produced by Juan Pablo Flores, was recorded at Valley of the Death recording studio, with mixing and mastering by Juan Pablo Rivas.
