They are a side project of Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares that was formed in 2002. The band has featured members of Brujeria, Fear Factory, Sepultura, Sadistic Intent and Static-X.

Asesino sometimes play Slayer covers live, most notably "Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood". As with Brujeria, the lyrics are sung entirely in Spanish and with the same subject matter of death, violence and perversion. Guitarist Asesino (Cazares) describes the band as "the new Brujeria." Asesino also has the tendency of making satirical comments during the show, and when playing Brujeria songs, change the original lyrics to something more fitting. "Asesino" is Spanish for "assassin".

Despedazando Muertos
Asesino Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Traeme el serrucho
Machete del brujo
La hacha mas filosa
Y algo pa´ las moscas

Móchale los dedos
Tírale los dientes
Saquenles los ojos

Saquenles el pito

Despedazando muertos

Quemales la ropa
Con galon de PEMEX
El balde de tripas
Uso acido y cloro

El trabajo sucio
no es para otros
Hasta me da ganas de cogerme
esa pinche muerta

Despedazando...

Todos muertos pal´ infierno

Ya acabe con todos
Ya eran sus tiempos
Corazón de hielo
No llegó al cielo
Este es mi cuento
Es trabajo sucio
Si caes por mi camino te veo en el infierno

Todos muertos pal´infierno.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Asesino's song Despedazando Muertos are raw and violent, depicting a gruesome scene of dissecting corpses with the use of different tools such as a saw, machete, and axe. The song is almost like a manifesto of a twisted serial killer or a psychopath who revels in the destruction of human bodies. The first verse seems to instruct someone to bring the aforementioned tools and something to fend off flies to carry out the grotesque act of cutting up dead bodies. The second verse talks about mutilating the corpses even further by pulling off fingers and teeth, gouging out their eyes, and removing their genitals. The repeated phrase "Despedazando muertos" adds to the unnerving tone of the song, emphasizing the brutality of the act. The last verse suggests that the singer has already killed everyone in their path, and they will continue to do so without remorse, stating, "Todos muertos pal'infierno" or "All the dead to hell."

The song embodies a disturbing and unsettling narrative, with explicit and violent images that far exceed the usual threshold for death metal music. The lyrics are meant to be provocative and shocking, and they illustrate the darkest corners of human emotions and behavior. The song is a commentary on violence, cruelty, and a manifestation of nihilism. It's disturbing to hear such ideas and fantasies being articulated, but it's also intriguing and fascinating to decode and analyze the motivations behind them.
