Criminal

One of the few internationally known Chilean metal bands, Criminal was formed by Anton Reisenegger and Rodrigo Contreras in 1991, with Reisenegger earlier gaining fame fronting the cult South American death metal band Pentagram Chile. Their later material such as 1997's Dead Soul and 2000's Cancer shows the band pursuing a steady, harsh death/thrash style, accentuated by Reiseneggar's hoarse vocals and some crunchy riffing courtesy of Contreras. After Cancer, Reisenegger and Contreras relocated to England, put together a new lineup, and continued right where they left off.
