Los Antiguos is a Buenos Aires stoner metal band founded in late 2012 by Pato Larralde (vocalist of Sauron) alongside members of Avernal and Cruzdiablo, with lyrical themes centered on aliens and personal experience rather than the high fantasy of their other projects. They released the EP Simple in May 2013, followed by the debut album Madera Prohibida in May 2015 and the second album Oro para las naves in May 2019, the latter issued in a limited special edition packaged as a replica UFO. The band has been a regular presence at Buenos Aires festivals including Noiseground and Viaje de Agua.
