DOOMBIA new full length "El Diablo Que Conoces" out this Friday!

PORTLAND’S DOOMBIA ANNOUNCES SOPHOMORE ALBUM ‘EL DIABLO QUE CONOCES,’ EXPANDING BILINGUAL CUMBIA-DOOM HYBRID SOUND

Second album from the critically acclaimed, BIPOC-led quartet drops November 6 on vinyl; all-ages release show announced at The Off-Beat.

The world’s only cumbia-doom metal outfit, Portland’s DOOMBIA have officially announced the November 6th, 2026 release of their highly anticipated sophomore album, El Diablo Que Conoces. Available on vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats, the record expands the band’s singular vision of heavy music as an inclusive, borderless force. To celebrate the launch, Doombia will headline an all-ages album release show on release night, November 6th, at Portland’s newest all-ages venue, The Off-Beat, featuring support from DJ Lissex, The Melts, and De la Flor.

Recorded with renowned producer Justin Phelps (The Mars Volta, Dead Kennedys) and mastered by Grammy-winner Alan Douches (Mastodon, Converge), the new album serves as a masterclass in cross-cultural genre-bending. Drawing equal inspiration from the crushing weight of Black Sabbath and the hypnotic rhythms of Los Mirlos, Doombia constructs a fuzzy, heavy, and deeply danceable bilingual space where musical heritage and underground sonic exploration collide.

The road to El Diablo Que Conoces has been paved with sweeping critical acclaim for the band’s recent singles, including the dark and fuzzy existential anthem “¿Quién Soy Yo?”. Critics have praised the track’s heavy sonic contrast, with Clear Vision Collective noting that “heady guitar riffs descend like thunderclouds while percussion and cumbia rhythms keep the listeners grounded and grooving. The result’s a cultural conversation that welcomes tapping into a flow state. One tradition doesn’t overpower the other. Instead, both are allowed to exist in the same space, creating something heavier, stranger, and more alive.”. If It’s Too Loud lauded the quartet’s grit, calling it “a killer mid-tempo song just dying to explode,” while Rebel Noise highlighted the track’s balance of existential weight and communal dancefloor pulse.

El Diablo Que Conoces is officially releasing on November 6th and is available to purchase at: https://doombia.bandcamp.com/album/doombia-vol-2-el-diablo-que-conoces

DOOMBIA is a BIPOC-led, gender-queer Portland band fusing doom metal, psychedelic rock, and Latin cumbia into a bilingual, borderless sound. Their heavy, hypnotic grooves draw equal inspiration from Black Sabbath and Los Mirlos. The group recently released the single “Te Extraño” from their upcoming sophomore album Doombia Vol. 2: El Diablo Que Conoces, releasing November 6th, 2026 from Golden Poppy.

Sharing insight into the track, bandleader Brendan Deiz states, “”Te Extraño” is more of a gothy cumbia-rock tune than heavy metal, in the vein of Caifanes’ “La Negra Tomasa”. It sounds like a long-lost Rock en Español classic.”

Since forming in 2023, the band has released one full-length album and two live EPs, toured the West Coast, and received numerous artist grants. Their upcoming second album, El Diablo Que Conoces, was recorded with Justin Phelps and mastered by Grammy-winner Alan Douches, further expanding their vision of heavy music as a unifying, inclusive force.
