Cadejo started with Josue Monroy, who spent his time playing guitar and drums, deciding he wanted to write songs that really mattered and have people say "fuck yea, motherfucker". It evolved into something expressive of culture, resistance, heaviness,power all with a commitment to making the best music to express it. Taking initial influence from bands like Metallica and In Flames, the instrumentation soon took other influences from Latin music and Rock en Español bands. Every song is it's own entity and the ability to write songs that are diverse is the core of the project. There are no boundaries as far as I see. It started as a one man studio orchestration and is now starting to incorporate provisional musicians for shows and the like. You like? Good, thats who it's for, those who like...
The cadejo (IPA pronunication /ka.ðe.xo/) is a character from Salvadoran, Nicaraguan,Costa Rican, Honduran, Guatemalan and southern Mexican folklore. There is a good, white cadejo and an evil, black cadejo. Both are spirits that appear at night to travellers: the white to protect them from harm during their journey, the black (sometimes an incarnation of the devil), to kill them. They usually appear in the form of a large (up to the size of a cow), shaggy dog with burning red eyes and a goat's hooves, although in some areas they have more bull-like characteristics. According to the stories, many have tried to kill the black cadejo but have failed and perished. Also it is said that if a cadejo is killed, it will smell terrible for several days, and then its body will disappear. Some Guatemalan folklore also tells of a cadejo that guards drunks against anyone who tries to rob or hurt them. Most people say never to turn your back to the creature because otherwise you will go crazy.In popular etymology, the name cadejo is thought to have derived from the Spanish word "cadena", meaning "chain"; the cadejo is at times represented as dragging a chain behind him.
Black Cadejo
It lurks in graveyards and dark alleys, waiting to attack a passing victim.There are three types of black cadejos:
The first is the devil himself in the form of a large, wounded dog with hoofed feet that are bound with red-hot chains. It is said that not even the white cadejo is able to completely stop him. Unlike the regular black cadejo it is not likely to pursue and attack a passing human, as it is a scout - the eyes of evil. Instead, anyone who spots him will have a sad event.the second type of cadejo is the regular cadejo, the mysterious evil dog. It kills and savagely tears through its victim. First it demoralizes him with a series of sounds and other signs that it is nearby. Then, after the victim is scared, it leaps forward, and will kill him if the white cadejo is not near.The final, and least powerful type of black cadejo is the offspring of a normal dog and the 'regular' cadejo. It is a mortal hybrid and can (with difficulty) be killed by a strong man (bearing in mind that most men in those regions only carry a machete for protection). Once dead, it will completely rot in a matter of seconds, leaving behind a stain of evil, on which grass and moss will never grow again.
