S.09 E.16 – Anton Reisenegger of Criminal

Send us Fan MailFrom performing in different heavy metal acts like Brujeria, Pentagram Chile, and Lock Up – there is no stopping the creativity and passion for seasoned Chilean musician, Anton Reisenegger. We are joined by the frontman/guitarist of the Chile-based death metal quartet, Criminal. Here they are with the 9th studio album, “Sacrificio,” and after 3 decades of dedicated brutality, it feels as if this may be their magnum opus. We speak with Anton about the origins of this record, and how it ties in different ideologies of life, death, and personal struggles that gave the album the raw and pure emotion unlike any other. Most importantly, the main narrative within “Sacrificio” centers around the social uprising that has impacted the lives of Chileans in immeasurable ways, and we dive right into the fray as Anton goes in-depth on his upbringings and the entire perspective on the country's outlook. It's been a long journey to get to this point, yet it feels as if this chapter paves a new beginning for Criminal.
