History

The foundations of the group were laid down around 2005 towards the end of A.N.I.M.A.L.'s run when Andrés Giménez and Alex González began discussing the idea of forming a band together, eventually bringing in Sr. Flavio to play bass in 2011 and finalising the lineup in 2012 with the addition of Andreas Kisser on lead guitar. After self-producing their album in several different locations across South America, the group signed to Roadrunner Records and released their debut single, Maldita Historia, on September 30, 2013.[2] The album was released on January 14, 2014.

In 2016 the band released its second album, II. In 2017 Sr. Flavio left De La Tierra and was replaced by Puerto Rican bassist Harold Hopkins.
