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".

"Asesino" is Spanish for "assassin".

Rey De La Selva
Asesino Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soy el rey de la selva
Por su bien no se acerca
En esta jaula o afuera

Soy el rey de la selva
Mato al que no se acuerda
A huevo te hacen perro
Por chingon soy tu dueño

Soy el jefe de prisioneros
Por tu bien no te acercas
Si quieres pedo aquí lo tengo
¡Pendejo! ¡qué me estas viendo?

Soy el rey de la selva
Y permiso necesitas
Pa' sentarte o cagarte
Pa' el papel pa' limpiarte

Soy el pinche rey
Ya incate güey

Me gusta cuando estas llorando
Mecos de negro estas tragando
Por tu muerte estas rezando

Como perro obediente
Chupas pitos de mis clientes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Asesino's song Rey De La Selva are largely about dominance and control. The singer claims to be the king of the jungle (or selva), and warns others not to approach him or they will face the consequences. The first verse asserts his power over others and suggests that he is a dangerous force to be reckoned with. The second verse continues this theme and emphasizes the singer's willingness to kill those who disobey him. He also uses derogatory language to refer to those who obey him, calling them perros (dogs).

The third verse shifts slightly in tone, as the singer describes himself as the boss or jefe of a group of prisoners. He again emphasizes his power and warns others to stay away if they value their safety. He even goes so far as to insult someone who is looking at him, calling them pendejo (idiot). The rest of the lyrics continue in a similar vein, with the singer asserting his dominance and describing his pleasure in the suffering of others. The imagery used is often violent and graphic, with references to blood, tears, and even oral sex.
