Nuclear about the metal scene in South America

Originally founded as Escoria in 1995, the real story of Nuclear (Homepage | Facebook) started 2003. So the band is looking back at a history of nearly 30 years of playing Thrash Metal. So far they released six albums. The latest one „Murder Of Crows“ was released 2020 at Black Lodge and is a real killer. Their style is compared to Kreator or Exodus. And playing live they totally wreck the stage as witnessed 2017 and again this year at the Rage Against Racism Festival in Duisburg, Germany.

Francisco and Matias of Nuclear about the scene in South America

We were lucky to get to talk with Francisco and Matias about the differences between the european and the south american metal scene and about the metal scene in Chile in particular. Not surpringly the metalheads in Europe seem to go less crazy. But did you know that Iron Maiden got banned to play in Chile back in the Nineties? What does undergound shows in Chile look like? Francisco and Matias are also telling us about the younger bands and how they implement traditional elements in their music. For example singing in the traditonal language Mapudungun. But better watch now, it’s so fucking interesting!
