TENEBRAE
Durango’s TENEBRAE, featuring members of Sementales Salvajes and Saturno Grooves. A blackened doom meditation on the silhouettes of existence.
We are Tenebrae—a sludge/doom project from Durango, Mexico. We embrace the heavy, the melancholic, and the raw. Our path to heavy music didn’t start with the name in 2023; it’s been a long journey fueled by years of experimenting and playing with different sounds. Before Tenebrae took shape, Isaac Sanchez and Isaac Sosa were deep in the stoner doom scene with Sementales Salvajes, and Edgar was creating gritty vibes in his sludge crust project, Desierto.
After countless local gigs and beers shared among friends, it felt only natural to blend all these influences together. Living and playing in Durango's underground scene has always been about community and unfiltered expression. In that spontaneous spirit, Isaac Sanchez and Edgar started jamming, and soon after, Isaac Sosa joined in, and everything clicked.
Tenebrae steeps into the murky depths of the human psyche—exploring themes of loss, futility, and abandonment. With our debut album Los Dioses Ausentes, released in January 2025, we wanted to capture that raw, unfiltered energy. It's a heavy, trippy, sonic exploration through the desert of forgotten gods.
For those who appreciate physical music, you can grab a 12” vinyl through Things From Beyond in Texas, or pick up the CD from Ave Bizarre Productions in Yucatán. For our digital fans, Los Dioses Ausentes is available on Bandcamp, Apple Music, and most major streaming platforms. Each format has its own vibe, just like every riff in our music. Our music isn’t just sound—it’s a way to share our stories and connect with anyone who’s ever felt the weight of the world. Join us.
