Dia De Los Muertos

Dia De Los Muertos is a metal band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 2005. Founded by Andres Jaramillo and Alfonso Pinzon of Agony, and Vincent Price of Body Count, as a side project. Since they couldn't find an official singer for the band, they asked a few friends to write lyrics and record vocals over their music.
