“Xipe Totec” is the last song in the debut album Devils at It Again by alternative rock band Hot Shot Kixxx. As the superstitious fear of having yet another ominous year sets in, the imagery and visuals in this music video explore dark and gory themes like ritualistic human sacrifice, cult mentality, and group sex. Interwoven with the somber, black, sonic textures of Juan “JC” Villalobos’s melodic guitar rhythms, Damian Gonzalez’s heavy bass riffs, and aggressive drums by David “Choko” Ponce, this video brings life (and death) to the screens of viewers in the most unapologetic and in-your-face manner that has been absent in mainstream rock and metal music since the apex days of Nine Inch Nails, Marylin Manson, Slipknot, and similar contemporaries of the time. “Xipe Totec” was directed by Cabe Tejeda in the band’s hometown of El Paso, Texas.
