Episode: The Heavyist #254 Interview with Brian Ortiz from Tzomplantli and XIbalba
Description: This week Sonny sat down with Bigg Brian Ortiz, driving force behind the breakout indigenous death doom outfit Tzompantli. Tzompantli's album "Beating The Drums of Ancestral Force" was one of the hardest releases of 2024 so we're stoked to get to chat to the man.
We delve into the cultural influences that shape Ortiz's music, particularly the incorporation of indigenous folklore and themes. The discussion also touches on the dynamics of live performances, the challenges of touring with a large band, and Ortiz's personal interests outside of music, including movies and hobbies.
Thanks so much to Brian for hanging out, this...
