Born in 2022 within the unforgiving underground of Cali, Flagelo is a Colombian horde formed by members deeply rooted in their city’s extreme metal network. Their approach to sound is a raw collision of blackened death metal and grindcore, filtered through the suffocating weight of doom. With their debut “Insaciable,” the band drags these influences through the mud, shaping a 25-minute storm of chaos and corrosion that turns primitive aggression into a twisted kind of art.

“Insaciable” wastes no time on pleasantries. Its attack is feral, violent and driven by a chaotic pulse that borders on madness. The vocals are delivered with a triple-headed fury, each throat pouring out rage and disgust in equal measure. The guitars cut deep, moving between grinding assaults and dragging, death-soaked riffs that stretch like open wounds. Drums hit with punishing precision, creating waves of destruction that rarely pause long enough for air to return.

What gives “Insaciable” its edge is rawness itself. The sound is thick, damp, almost claustrophobic, echoing the kind of underground production that complements its violence instead of restraining it. There’s a sense of collapse in every section, as if the music is chewing through itself in real time. When slower, the band sounds equally malicious, turning decay into rhythm.

The atmosphere is hostile, steeped in the nihilistic vision that defines this corner of extreme metal. It’s an album made for listeners who appreciate the ugliness and truth behind chaos, the relentless grind that refuses to compromise. For fans of acts like Knelt Rote, Dead Congregation, and Caustic Wound, this EP stands as a new flag in the South American underground, blazing with spite and urgency. Flagelo’s “Insaciable” is meant to scar and capture the violent heart of a young band already sounding ready for larger destruction.
