Ladrones

There’s no clean lane for Ladrones, and that’s exactly the point. Emerging from Guadalajara, Mexico, the band fuses modern metal, "flow pesado" rap, and Mexican regional influences into a sound that defies genre and borders. Founded by producer and Alzada Records founder Alan Ledesma alongside guitarist/producer Jose Macario and vocalist Zxmyr, Ladrones has built a distinct identity driven by technical musicianship, forward-thinking production, and fearless songwriting. Since forming in 2021, the band has quickly become one of heavy music’s most exciting new voices, earning the attention of SiriusXM’s Jose "Metal Ambassador" Mangin and securing a global partnership with Rise Records and BMG. Their first two albums, Flow Pesado (2024) and Mexican Pesado (2025), established a rapidly growing fanbase drawn to both their sound and cultural perspective. With their upcoming album Arriba La L (August 2026), Ladrones continue to push their vision forward, delivering a heavier, sharper, and more expansive statement that positions them at the forefront of a new generation of heavy music.
