Influences: The musical influences of Mictlan´s are wide, from the very Elvis Presley and the Beatles all the way to Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse, passing through all the bands and genders of the 70´s, 80´s and 90´s. We´ve also been influenced by other styles like jazz, new age, the wrongly called prehispanic music, mariachi, disco, country, rock and roll, world music, new age, classical, etc. they are way too many groups as to make a decent comprehensive list… our vice is music, not a gender of it! The ideological influences of the band have the documental nursery of authors like Ignacio Romerovargas Iturbide, DÃaz Bolio, Carlos Jesús Castillejos, Swami Prabhupada, Yogananda, Lobsang Rampa, Madame Blavatski, Gurdjeff, Pedro Ouspenski, Reekjanesh, Carlos Castaneda, Maharaji, Domingo Martinez Paredes and countless brilliant writers all over the world. Our field information has been collected in simple facts which are difficult to list. It is not possible for us to freeze those countless moments of learning in power places or the impressive individual and collective experiences, we are not even interested in tagging them with dates and hours. Our main influence has been our intention to learn.
Sounds Like: We believe our sound to be quite peculiar, like a multifacetic metal, we think we play all kind of metal from classic heavy metal (No longer seek), thrashy riffs (Tlacoquiztiliztli)(Self sacrifice), grind riffs (Flowers of War), virtuous riffs (Warrior by determination), continuous progression (After-death conscious state) archetypical percussions (song intros). Attention to the double bass – bass arrangement is recommended, the guitar solos are interesting too. And if you want to let yourself go, then trip with the instrumental archetypical atmospheres. This is what you´ll find in Mictlan´s albums
