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".

Yo no fui
Asesino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por manos que no se ven
Despierto y encuentro
Otro cuerpo en mi suelo
Yo no se que paso
Yo no fui te lo juro
Yo no se que paso
Yo no fui!
Sangre cubre mi rostro
Tripas cuelgan por ganchos
Desnudo y sin cara
Sesos cubren mi cama
Yo no se que paso
Yo no fuí te lo juro
Yo no se que paso
Yo no fui, fue Sadistico
Otro cuerpo en el baño
Colgando y destripado
Seis lenguas en una caja
No se por que se me para
Veinte ojos en un bote
Otro lleno con cerotes
El horror cuando encuentro
Muertos en el sótano
Yo no se que paso
Yo no fui te lo juro
Yo no se que paso
Yo no fui, fue el Sepulculo
¡Yo no fui!
The lyrics to Asesino's song Yo no fui describe the perspective of someone who discovers the aftermath of a series of gruesome murders that they claim they did not commit. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the scene, with blood covering the singer's face and body parts hanging from hooks. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the singer's protestation of innocence, claiming that they did not do it and that it must have been the work of Asesino, Sadistico, or Sepulculo.
The lyrics are meant to be unsettling and graphic, appealing to a certain type of listener who is drawn to horror and gore. However, there is also a deeper message being conveyed. The lyrics suggest that sometimes our actions, or lack of action, can have unintended consequences. The singer may not have physically committed the murders, but they may have indirectly contributed to them through negligence or inaction. The song is a commentary on how we are all connected and how our actions, or lack thereof, can have far-reaching consequences.
Overall, the lyrics to Yo no fui are a chilling and thought-provoking reflection on the complex nature of responsibility and culpability.
