Head Crusher has successfully combined the explosiveness of European and American metal; it is a Demolishing, modern, and fluent sound. The lyrics flow without the limitations of language, the Guitars are frenetic, and the ensemble is tight, strong and in your face……
There is no doubt that Head Crusher is the most aggressive and explosive Colombian metal band of the moment!!!

a Solid EP!!! Great music, great production… I find myself hitting repeat a lot. - James Gonzales/ Texas Metal Colective.
The Brutality of metal and energy of rock have given life to a band that is bold and has an honest sound, real and direct. Head Crusher shows the evolution and return to the roots, a visceral interpretation, potent ensemble and lyrics with much character and intelligence. - Donny Rubiano/ General Assistant Music Manager Philharmonic Orchestra Bogota Colombia
-“I’m here playing Head Crusher out loud at the Fernandez Guitars head quarters. A Job well done; great music and Production! - Fernandes Guitars
