"No Angels" is the debut LP from Chicago South Side hardcore up-and-comers SI DIOS QUIERE. Originally formed in 2020 by guitarist Christian Guajardo and drummer Ricardo Velazquez, SI DIOS QUIERE solidified its lineup in late 2022 when Ozzy Jimenez took over vocal duties. With guitarist Roberto Velazquez and bassist Louie Flores rounding out the band, they released a two-song promo in summer 2023 that showcased a more defined sound compared to their earlier work. The band has been working hard to build a strong presence in their local scene and is now poised for a national breakout.
"No Angels" showcases the band's tough-as-nails approach to songwriting, blending raw aggression with a strong sense of pride and community. Drawing inspiration from bands like MADBALL and ROTTING OUT, with hints of death metal and hip hop, SI DIOS QUIERE delivers a fierce mix of heavy rhythms and a gritty, powerful delivery. With various guest spots adding to its intensity, the LP balances relentless energy with themes of resilience and authenticity -- keeping it real in true hardcore fashion.
