Earlier this year De La Tierra - consisting of Andreas Kisser, guitarist of Sepultura, Andrés Giménez, former leader of A.N.I.M.A.L., Sr. Flavio, bassist of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Alex González, drummer of Maná - released their explosive self-titled debut album which featuring the singles "Maldita Historia" and "San Asesino." Following the album's release, Del La Tierra joined the legendary Metallica on their Latin America tour, a true testament to the musicianship and prowess of the band. "DE LA TIERRA," the band's crushing 11-song debut which was recorded and mixed by Stanley Soares (Motörhead, Sepultura) in Sao Paulo, Guadalajara, Buenos Aires and Los Angeles and produced by the band themselves is currently available on CD and in all digital stores.
De La Tierra's history can be traced back 8 years to backstage conversations between Giménez and González, discussing their passion for heavy music. A tour with Maná brought González to Argentina in 2011, which rekindled discussions of starting a group with Gimenez. The following evening the two had dinner with Flavio, a friend of Giménez's who both revered, as the three flirted with the idea of forming a power trio. Giménez however wanted more firepower and suggested Kisser as a possible second guitarist. González reached out to Kisser via email telling him about the project which was conceived as a gathering of like minds to create metal music which they all enjoyed and appreciated. Kisser responded immediately: "I am the band's guitar player!"
