Alfonso Pinzón

Pinzón was born in Barcelona, Spain. He grew up in Germany.[2]

Pinzón cofounded the Colombian thrash band Agony in 1992, and performed as a drummer in the band.[3] Agony performed several times in Columbia's Rock al Parque festival and released an album entitled Millennium. The band moved to Los Angeles in 1999 and played in bars and clubs.[4] In 2005, with Agony in hiatus, Pinzon cofounded the Los Angeles extreme metal band Dia De Los Muertos with Andres Jaramillo and also served as drummer in that band.[5]

In 2007 the band Agony reactivated, and Pinzón performed with them as the headlined the Rock al Parque festival.[6]

Pinzón produced most of the band's recordings. He also produced two albums for the American black metal band Inquisition: Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm (2011) and Obscure Verses for the Multiverse (2013).

In 2014, still living in the United States, Pinzón and his band released an album, No Money, No Fiesta;[7] that year Pinzón also co-founded the Festival del Diablo in Bogata, Columbia, with Jan Pablo Chaparro.[8][9][10]

With Dia de los Muertos, Pinzón performed at the Rock al Parque in Columbia; in 2016 the band released an EP.[11]

Pinzon continued to co-organize and perform in the Festival del Diablo as recently as 2017.[12][13][8] That year he wrote an article in Rolling Stone magazine about Byzantine rock music.
