Formed in early 2001 in Pereira, Colombia, South America. HEADCRUSHER’s blend of Thrash Metal, Death Metal and Hardcore climbed them to the top of the growing Colombian and South American Metal scene. HEADCRUSHER arrived in New York in 2007 and toured the East Coast. The Band relocated to Austin, Texas in the summer of 2008 and recorded their self titled EP in 2009. The tracks were mastered by Juan Urteaga (Exodus, Testament, Machine Head) at Trident Studios in Northern California, with the artwork designed by Alex Eckman-Lawn (Architects, Syopus, Hacride).
In March of 2011, they won the Road To Full Metal Texas contest held by Roadrunner Records and played at the SXSW showcase, sharing the stage with such bands as: The Red Chord, Upon a Burning Body, Kvelertak, Trap Them. During this legendary showcase, Rex Brown (ex-Pantera and Down, now in Kill Devil Hill) became an instant fan of HEADCRUSHER. Other fans of the band include Max Cavalera (ex-Sepultura, now in Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy) and Marc Rizzo (ex-Ill Niño, now in Soufly and Cavalera Conspiracy).
Yesterday, this Colombian Metaleros unleashed a ferocious album entitled 'Let The Blood Run'. In times when the tendency is to write Progressive Metal since it is the "flavor of the day", HEADCRUSHER have proved that Heavy Metal is all about speedy shredding sounds that pierce through your brain from front-to-back and side-to-side. The band is the go-to opening band in Austin, Texas (the bands adoptive city) when it comes to upscale Heavy Music concerts. HEADCRUSHER has shared stage with acts like Apocalyptica, Suicidal Tendencies, Cavalera Conspiracy, Lazarus A.D, Allegaeon, Motograter, Silent Civilian, Animal (Argentina), Confronto (Brazil), Koyi K Utho (Colombia), and Souledge (Colombia), among others.
