Aquelarre

**Aquelarre** is a Chilean heavy metal band that’s been conjuring raw, riff-driven energy since their formation in 2009. Known for blending classic heavy metal grit with occult-themed lyrics, their sound channels the primal vibes of old-school acts while weaving in themes of witchcraft, mysticism, and cosmic lore—fitting for a band named after the Spanish term for a witches' gathering. Over the years, they’ve sharpened their craft with releases like *Cicatrices* (2015) and *Suevia* (2018), earning a dedicated following in Latin America’s metal underground. Their recent tracks, including *Regulus* and *Aldebarán*, lean into celestial inspiration (hello, star names!), showcasing their knack for pairing thunderous rhythms with vivid storytelling. With a reputation for electrifying live shows and a commitment to keeping traditional metal alive, Aquelarre remains a fierce force in the scene.
