Mexican progressive metal band, Álaghom,  have just unleashed their new single, “The Opening of Satori.” It comes with a performance video, and is the closing track of their recent EP, Return to the Beginner’s Mind, out via Wormholedeath Records. Watch it in the article below.

Rooted in Mayan philosophy and Zen Buddhism, the track channels the band’s signature progressive metal energy—featuring Melisa Durán’s delicate vocals and 8-string guitar, Ricardo Esperón’s intricate 10-string work, and synth layers.

Álaghom’s name, rooted in Mayan mythology, symbolizes wisdom and knowledge, reflecting the band’s mission to draw from the ancient Mayan worldview and Zen Buddhism to create music that resonates with universal themes of consciousness and growth. Álaghom’s influences span an extraordinary array of artists across genres, including Bach, Devin Townsend Project, Cynic, Iron Maiden, Death, and Dimmu Borgir, weaving classical inspiration with modern metal innovation.
