Chilean ‬heavy psych/proto-doom band Arteaga premiere new single and music video »La Atormentada« from upcoming album »Proto Punk Travestido«

Santiago, Chile based ‬heavy psych/proto-doom band Arteaga premiere new single and music video »La Atormentada« taken from their sixth full-length album, entitled »Proto Punk Travestido«.

Says the band: “»La Atormentada«. The final single before the release of our 6th album: »Proto Punk Travestido« (2026).

The enemy sets the pulse from within. Her demons wear her own shadow and walk in her exact footsteps, repeating in a loop everything she tried to leave behind. A slow, inevitable pursuit where the air turns thick, until madness floods it all. There is nowhere left to hide when the abyss is your own reflection.”

In the year 2012, in the southern reaches of the world, particularly in Santiago, Chile, a peculiar cult of deranged hippies with a penchant for the dark side of life emerged. Their dense and psychedelic rhythms, fusing elements of proto-doom and 60s-70s garage rock, define the unmistakable and utterly unique sound of Arteaga. This is a band that delves into an explosive concoction of horror, psychedelia, the lysergic, and eroticism, a musical journey that ensnares and commandeers the recesses of your mind. It’s an exploration into the realms of heavy and cursed psychedelia, a musical voyage that’s both alluring and enigmatic, transporting you to a realm where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur into one captivating sonic experience. Arteaga: A gateway to the surreal.

Recorded at La Mazmorra, Santiago, Chile.
Mixed and mastered by Martin Pavez.
