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, May 2025.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Martin Pavez.
Cover art by Kestrel Robinson.
