Devastación is one of Argentina's longest-running death/thrash metal acts, tracing their origins to Munro, Buenos Aires Province, in 1987, and counting an early support slot for Sepultura on that band's first Argentine tour among their career highlights. Their studio output spans more than three decades, from the 1997 album Decadencia through ...Qué Lo Parió! (1999) and Resistiendo Al Engaño (2007) to Del Martín Fierro (2020), released on Disembodied Records. The current lineup of Walter Ortiz, Nicolas Oliva, Daniel Cafferata, and Horacio "Bocha" Herrera has kept the band active into the present day.
