Saint Diablo is a brutal Latin Metalcore powerhouse known for their explosive blend of driving rhythms, aggressive riffs, and fervent vocals. Hailing from Virginia, USA, the band infuses their music with Latin influences, creating a unique sound that has set them apart in the metal scene since their inception in 2004. The band just premiered a new lyric video titled “Cosmic Inferno” taken from their EP album The Reckoning which was released on July 19, 2024 via Eclipse Records.
The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Chris Anger (III Nino, Wyclef Jean, Luny Tunes) at Sound Republic Studio; engineered by Brandon Dickey & Justin Adams at Revive Studios; and the cover art was created by Chris Anger. The lyric video for “Cosmic Inferno” was directed by Jackson Presley at PostIdol Media.
“To give fans the opportunity to become more intimately familiar with the song prior to the traditional video release, is why we chose to do a lyric video”, says lead vocalist Tito Quinones. “We wanted to highlight the idea of descending into madness as the monster you were created to be. Oftentimes, the specific lyrics and words intended to be received get lost with all of the visual seduction in the modern graphic music video. We had never done a lyric video so when we got the chance to do one with someone that really made a connection with our song (Jackson Presley) it just felt like it was the right time and the right song.” Guitarist Justin Adams adds, “We felt like (Cosmic Inferno) had a story that needed to be told on different levels. More than what a traditional music video would tell. Plus, we wanted our fans to have a little something different with this one! After just one conversation with Jackson, I was convinced that working with him on this particular project, was the way to go! After seeing the final product, he has a client/fan for life! His work speaks for itself.”

The journey begins with “Voice on the Phone,” a poignant reflection of loss and melancholy coupled with yearning for solace in the midst of despair. With heartfelt lyrics and emotive melodies, Saint Diablo captures the struggle to find footing in turbulent times, clinging to memories of strength and guidance from a departed loved one.
