A journey of devotion to music.

Mario Infantes is a musician and artist whose journey spans over 20 years of musical exploration and reinvention. Originally hailing from Spain and now based in Iceland, Mario has continuously pushed the boundaries of his craft, embracing a diverse range of genres and styles that reflect his ever-evolving artistic vision.

Mario’s musical roots began in the intense world of death metal, where he was a key member of the critically acclaimed band Cult of Lilith, signed to Metal Blade Records. During his time with the band, he honed his vocal skills and developed his signature sound, known for its raw energy, intricate compositions, and emotional depth. Cult of Lilith allowed Mario to establish a strong foundation in the metal scene, but it also ignited his desire to explore beyond the confines of any single genre.

In pursuit of a more introspective and experimental sound, Mario ventured into the world of ambient music, releasing his first solo album, Antidote for a Turbulent Mind. This project marked a significant departure from his metal roots, embracing atmospheric soundscapes and minimalist compositions. It was a deeply personal journey, exploring the complexities of the mind and emotions through sound. Antidote for a Turbulent Mind was a critical success, showcasing Mario's ability to craft intricate musical textures that resonate on an emotional level, yet also highlighted his constant desire to evolve as an artist.

Now, Mario is set to release Bitácora in July 2025 through Lost Future Records. This album represents the culmination of everything he has explored musically over the years. Bitácora is an ambitious project that blends metal, ambient, and world music in a seamless fusion, taking listeners on a global journey of sound. Each track is a reflection of Mario’s diverse influences—from the intensity of metal to the tranquility of ambient music, to the rich textures of world music traditions. This album serves as a musical diary, chronicling Mario's personal and artistic growth and inviting listeners to experience his journey alongside him.

At its core, Bitácora is more than just a collection of songs; it is an exploration of the self and the interconnectedness of all things. Mario’s dedication to his craft and his commitment to pushing creative boundaries shine through in every note. His music is a testament to the power of sound to transcend cultures, genres, and personal experiences, creating a space where listeners can lose themselves in the depths of emotion, introspection, and inspiration.

As Mario continues to forge his path in the music world, he remains driven by a single, unwavering belief: music is a universal language that has the power to connect us all, regardless of where we come from or what we believe. Bitácora is his invitation to share in this journey, to explore the intersections of music, culture, and self-expression, and to embrace the transformative power of sound.
