Alfonso Pinzón (born 27 November 1972) is a Colombian Extreme metal drummer and producer[1]. He is known for his work with the bands Agony and Dia De Los Muertos[2][3] and for founding the Festival del Diablo in Bogotá, Colombia.

Career

Pinzón co-founded the Colombian thrash metal band Agony with Andrés Jaramillo in 1992. They released several albums before relocating to Los Angeles in 1999. In 2005, with Agony on hiatus, Pinzón co-founded the extreme metal band Dia de los Muertos[4] with Andrés Jaramillo and Body Count bassist Vincent Price.[5]

In 2007, Agony regrouped and headlined Rock al Parque in Bogotá, Colombia.[6] They also released a new album, 'The Devil’s Breath' and launched it with a live performance in Bogotá, opening for the black metal legends Venom.[7]

Pinzon has produced most of Agony's recordings. He also produced two albums for the American black metal band Inquisition: Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm (2011) and Obscure Verses for the Multiverse.

Alfonso founded the Festival del Diablo in Colombia in 2014[8], which quickly became the country's largest metal festival.[9][10]
