This one-man grindcore act from Ecuador was incredibly active for 3 short years. Comprised of José Barragán, the band released three projects from 2006 to 2008. The first was a 7-song EP Redemption of the Flesh, first released independently in 2006, then re-issued in 2007 through Eirene Records, and then reissued digitally in 2018 through Bearded Dragon Productions. The other two were split releases with other bands. One was the 6-Way Sin Decomposition Split with 5 other Christian grind bands. And the second one was a 4-way split with 3 non-Christian gore-grind bands that I won’t say more about here. Let’s just say that José was trying to be a light in some very dark places.
Barragán tragically died in 2008 in a fire that took place at a gig. 13 others died in the blaze as well. There has been speculation that the fire was set intentionally, but I haven’t been able to confirm those suspicions. He made a huge impact on Christian grindcore in a very short time, and I’m sure he is missed by family and friends alike.
