Ladrones

Ladrones was formed in 2021 in Guadalajara, Mexico, by producer Alan Ledesma, who is also the founder of the independent record label Alzada. The band’s musical style is characterized by a fusion of metal, hip-hop, and regional Mexican music, often featuring nine-string guitars. This unique blend has allowed them to create a sound that resonates with diverse audiences. The group’s lineup includes vocalists Zxmyr and Cirujano Resendez, guitarist José Macario, and drummer Diego Zornoza. They perform their music entirely in Spanish, contributing to the growing presence of Mexican artists in heavy music genres.

The band began their journey with the recording of their song “Díganme” in 2021. Their career progressed with the release of their debut album, “Flow Pesado,” in 2024, followed by “Mexican Pesado” in 2025. In January 2026, Ladrones collaborated with Argentinian nu-metal artist MUÑEKI77A on the song “Extra XD.” A significant milestone occurred in March 2026 when Ladrones signed with Rise Records, a move that expanded their reach globally. They subsequently released their first single and music video with the label, “Ay Ay Ay,” in April 2026. The band also announced their third album, “Arriba La L,” released on August 28, 2026, further solidifying their discography.

Ladrones has actively toured, performing across Mexico as part of their Mexican Pesado Tour in 2025, which also extended to South America. They have appeared at various festivals, including Festival Hermoso Cariño in Guadalajara, Nu Metal Revolution, Vive Latino, and Welcome to Rockville. In December 2025, they were announced as support for Bloodywood’s 2026 System Of A Brown North American tour, alongside The Pretty Wild and Ankor. The band also performed at the NAMM Show in January 2026, showcasing their blend of genres to an international audience.
