Ecuador’s SARCOMA have unveiled the ferocious new single “Ahora Voy Yo” with an accompanying music video. The deathcore ensemble obliterates with unyielding heaviness, explosive riffs and brutal gutturals.
Released via Valley of the Death, “Ahora Voy Yo”, which translates to “Now I Go”, is the first single to land ahead of the bands forthcoming full-length album set to arrive later in 2026.
“Ahora Voy Yo” addresses the issue of integrity. It forces artists to confront their egos and their authenticity. “The whole song revolves around the deep regret of long time procrastination and unbalanced ego, when confronted by the urge to prove oneself and grow as long as we live.” The band explain. “All audio samples in the song come from ‘Ratas, Ratones, Rateros’, a hugely successful 1999 Ecuadorian movie, from director Sebastián Cordero. The spoken lines allude to a dead body, which in the lyrical setting is metaphorical, as an underachiever is better off dead.”
The new single, “Ahora Voy Yo”, produced by Juan Pablo Flores, was recorded at Valley of the Death recording studio, with mixing and mastering by Juan Pablo Rivas.
About SARCOMA:
SARCOMA is the first Spanish-language deathcore band in the world. Formed in Quito, Ecuador, in 2006, the quartet launched their debut EP Silenciosa Tortura independently that same year. 2016 brought a hiatus until seven years later, in 2023, original members Santiago Romero and Juan Pablo Flores returned to write new music, now joined by Andrés Jaramo (drums) and Andrés Éguez (bass).
During SARCOMA’s first incarnation, following the first EP, the band released the debut, self-titled full-length album in 2008 with the Esclavitud del Siglo XXI EP arriving in 2013. The band embarked on a heavy national and international touring schedule in neighboring countries.
SARCOMA’s unmistakable style, technical precision, and impressive live performances led them to be considered, by the media and the public alike, as the undisputed “fathers of deathcore” in South America. In early-mid noughties, the band’s unique mix of hardcore and death metal elements was something unheard of in the country at the time.
The band’s sound draws influence from the likes of DECAPITATED, DYING FETUS, KNOCKED LOOSE, SEPULTURA, DESPISED ICON, GOJIRA, with the addition of progressive elements and a thematic focus on their life experiences and environment of Latin America.
2023 saw the band return with renewed vigor and intent unleashing the EP Mesak, the live releases Al Rojo Vivo and En Vivo En Quito in 2024, and “Divino Poder” single in 2025, all via Valley of the Death. SARCOMA wasted no time returning to the live stage in 2023 venturing on the Mesak Ecuador National Tour, along with performances at Mechanimal Fest and Quitofest.
