Content Introduction California ska-core band 8 Kalacas has signed with Atomic Fire and released their third album! Featuring trumpet and trombone players, their style is a fusion of Central and South American music such as mariachi and cumbia with heavy music?truly a new generation of 21st-century metal! 8 Kalacas (Ocho Kalacas) is a California ska-core band. Not many people may have heard of them. But they were formed in 2003, and their history spans nearly 20 years. They have released two albums so far: '8 Kalacas' (2012) and 'Kill the Radio' (2014). And now they have signed with Atomic Fire Records and will release their third album, 'Fronteras'. Many people may be wondering, "What exactly is ska-core?" If I had to describe their sound in words, it would be "a mix of the frenzy of System of a Down, the heaviness of Slipknot, and the explosive energy of Social Distortion, multiplied tenfold and played in a Mexican style." That might make it even more confusing, but the music they play as a seven-piece band?two vocalists, guitar, bass, drums, trumpet, and trombone?is simply heavy, aggressive, and catchy. The fusion of Latin American music like mariachi and cumbia with heavy music is truly the sound of a new generation of metal. Listening to it is uplifting and energizing. It's music that shines a light in these dark times of the pandemic. You'll likely hear the name 8 Caracas a lot in 2022.
