Hacavitz (band)
Mexican extreme metal band
Hacavitz is a Mexican extreme metal band formed in 2003. The band took their name from the Mayan god Jacawitz. The lyrical themes include death, darkness, and pre-Hispanic mythology. Since its formation, the band has released six studio albums, two EPs, five split albums, and two compilation albums.
History
Hacavitz was founded by Antimo Buonnano and Oscar García in 2003.
The band's first two studio albums titled "Venganza" (Vengeance) and "Katun" were released through the label Moribund Records. In 2010, they released their third studio album Metztli Obscura, which was released through both Embrace My Funeral and Moribund Records. After disbanding following the release of Metztli Obscura, Buonnano reformed Hacavitz shortly afterward, and in 2015, they released their fourth studio album "Darkness Beyond" in which the band switched to black metal and was released by the label Dark Descent Records and Concreto Records in the United States and Mexico respectively. Hacavitz then released their fifth studio album "Nex Nihil", which was originally released in August 2017 and later released on 28 September 2018 on Moribund Recurds. It maintains its dark and dense essence of black metal that it has been displaying in the band's two previous albums.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
