Biography
Amduscia is a Mexican aggrotech band from Mexico City, founded in 1999 by Polo Acevedo, Edgar Acevedo, and Raul Montelongo. Named after a demon from medieval demonology, the group channeled the chaos of their environment into a caustic blend of industrial beats and sinister melodies, drawing on influences from dark wave and old-school EBM to synthpop and trance. A 2003 demo earned them a deal with Germanyâs Out of Line label and spawned the debut album Melodies for the Devil (2003). They quickly gained an international following with club hits like âDead or Aliveâ and the ferocious follow-up album From Abuse to Apostasy (2006). Amdusciaâs harsh electronic anthems and melodic undercurrents fostered a devoted fanbase and drew early comparisons to compatriot industrial pioneers Hocico. Theyâve delivered intense live shows at major goth-industrial festivals such as Wave-Gotik-Treffen and Mâera Luna, even touring Europe alongside Combichrist. After Montelongoâs departure in 2009 and the tragic death of co-founder Edgar Acevedo in 2010, frontman Polo Acevedo carried on the bandâs legacy, completing the defiant album Death, Thou Shalt Die (2011) in his brotherâs memory and later unleashing Filofobia (2013). Existe, Amduscia's sixth studio full-length, arrived in 2020.
