[photo by Anne Spina]XIBALBA has issued an official video for the revolutionary anthem “Guerrilla,” one of the most vital tracks from their third LP, Tierra Y Libertad, which saw release in January via Southern Lord Recordings.
In complete DIY fashion, XIBALBA basically took the concept of their classic “Cold” video to the next level, this time the overthrowing an entire neighborhood in their hometown of Pomona, California. Directed, shot and edited by Shawn Skadburg and Matt Welch for Nine/One films, with footage by Danny Mayo and Mike Sogoff, the video for “Guerrilla” features a brutalizing live uprising filmed at a live outdoor show in a Pomona neighborhood, utilizing the voices of their friends and family to carry the message of the track to the masses.
Through a premiere at Lambgoat this week, XIBALBA’s “Guerrilla” is now playing RIGHT HERE.

With new tour dates and festival appearances confirmed, XIBALBA will continue to deliver their piledriving death metal-infused hardcore to hordes across multiple continents in support of Tierra Y Libertad through the Summer months. The band will play in Santa Ana later this month alongside the likes of Ignite, Excel, Strife, Union 13 and more. One month later they return to the mighty This Is Hardcore in Philadelphia, performing on July 25th with the Misfits, Cro-Mags, Bane, Killing Time, Biohazard and tons more. September will see XIBALBA hitting Ghostfest in Leeds and Bristol, UK on 5th and 6th of the month alongside Hatebreed, Emmure, Despised Icon, Born Of Osiris, Turnstile and more, followed immediately by a Southeast Asia tour with confirmed details on that trek to be released in the coming days, and upon their return, a show in Los Angeles with No Warning, Lights Out, Incendiary and others on September 26th. October 9th through 11th will see the band on the California Deathfest at the Oakland Metro with Infest, Autopsy, Immolation, Dead Infection, Noothgrush, Impaled and many more, followed by their invasion of Southwest Terror Fest in Tucson, Arizona the weekend of October 15th – 18th with the likes of Sleep, Dropdead, The Body, Thou and dozens of other acts to be announced.

With some of their most savage tones and decimating breakdowns to date, XIBALBA continues to overthrow new audiences on their third LP, Tierra Y Libertad, Recorded by Taylor Young (Nails, Twitching Tongues, Disgrace) at The Pit in Van Nuys, California, the LP’s forty-four minute onslaught delivers more haunting, atmospheric tones and traumatic death-infused metallic hardcore, the band having once again commissioned Dan Seagrave (Dismember, Entombed, Suffocation) for the album’s cover artwork. Tierra Y Libertad is available on CD and grey vinyl LP direct through XIBALBA‘s Southern Lord store HERE, and digitally through BandCamp HERE, as well as through All In Merch including a t-shirt package HERE.
