Description: The solo project of Xibalba member Brian Ortiz is Tzompantli, which is Nahuatl for "skull rack," which was used for the public display of human skulls. The band's music is described as Mesoamerican/prehispanic death/doom Metal. Tzompantli heavily rely on their Mexican ancestry, providing their only full length so far with an idealistic ancient evil power that pays homage to its roots. Tlazcaltiliztli hits hard from end to end.
