Kuazar’s discography includes two acclaimed LPs: Wrath of God and Hybrid Power. The latter is currently being promoted, featuring a compelling tracklist that showcases the band’s versatility:
- Obscure & Violent
- Hybrid Power
- Future Necropolis
- Silence
- There for Me
- The Sniper
- Antagonist
- Machete Che Pope (Acosta Ñu)
One of the standout tracks, “Machete Che Pope,” is particularly significant, as it is sung in both Spanish and Guarani, the native tongue of Paraguay. The song delves into the harrowing history of the War of the Triple Alliance, specifically focusing on the Battle of Acosta Ñu—a tragic episode where Paraguayan children valiantly tried to defend their land against overwhelming Brazilian forces, resulting in a massacre. The accompanying music video, filmed at a historic church in Piribebuy, poignantly captures the somber spirit of this dark chapter in Paraguayan history.
Another powerful track, “Silence,” addresses the pressing issue of suicide, as Kuazar plans to collaborate with NGOs to raise awareness and offer support through their music. The band aims to share stories of resilience, highlighting individuals who have battled and overcome depression, thus using their platform to provide hope and healing.
In recognition of their artistry and impact, Kuazar won the PROPY AWARDS for “Best Heavy Rock Song” in 2024 for “Machete Che Pope.” This honor marked a historic moment, as Kuazar became the first metal band ever nominated for this prestigious event, garnering massive media coverage and expanding their reach to a national audience.
