Artist: Tunjum

Album: Deidades Del Inframundo

Label: Dunkelheit Produktionen

Year: 2018

Country: Peru

Genre: Death Metal

Tunjum are a death metal band from Lima, Peru. The band's debut album is an impressive slab of putrid death fucking metal. The riffing is morose and monolithic, taking notes from the barbarism and brutality of old school death metal acts like Autopsy and Massacre. Each track is a bludgeoning of pounding ferocity and some top notch caveman blasting. Thematically, the band takes inspiration from mythology of the ancient Moche culture, which reign over east Peru from 100 CE - 800 CE. The band name is a combination of the verb for killing and dying int he Moche language.
