AllMusic	[1]

Matando Güeros (Killing Whites) is the debut album by the band Brujeria.[2][3] "Güero" is a Mexican-Spanish slang term for a blonde or light skinned/haired person. The album talks mostly about controversial topics in Mexico like drug trafficking, satanic rituals, sexuality, migration, illegal border crossing, and Anti-Americanism (like the title song, that talks about a revenge killing-spree against the White Americans that mistreated the indigenous Mexican narrator).

Album information

The front cover depicts a person out of shot holding up a severed head, which was taken from Mexican Shocking and Sensationalistic/Yellow journalistic newspaper ¡Peligro! The album was banned in many places due to its cover and content.[4] This head, nicknamed "Coco Loco", has been taken by the band as a mascot and logo.[4] Track 16 to 19 are taken from the Machetazos single; "Matando Güeros" was on the Gummo soundtrack.

Critical reception

Heavy Metal: The Music And Its Culture placed the album on its "100 Definitive Metal Albums" list.[5]
