Def Con Dos

Thirty years on, Alzheimer still hits like a brick through a government window — and Def Con Dos are rolling it back onto the stage with malicious intent. This isn’t nostalgia. This is a controlled demolition of Spanish rap metal history, and Madrid is about to feel the blast.

Originally released in the mid-90s, Alzheimer was the record that turned Def Con Dos from underground agitators into national troublemakers: hip-hop rhythms welded to hardcore riffs, lyrics sharpened like switchblades, and a worldview that spat in the face of complacency. Three decades later, the album remains brutally relevant — a paranoid, sarcastic chronicle of social decay, institutional stupidity and collective amnesia. The band knows it. The audience knows it. And that’s why this 30th-anniversary show matters.

This concert forms part of Def Con Dos’ Gira Alzheimer, a run that sees them revisit the album in full — not as a museum piece, but as a living, snarling organism still capable of starting fights and finishing beers. Expect the classics delivered with veteran precision and street-level fury, backed by a crowd that grew up on these songs and now screams them louder than ever. Age has not softened Def Con Dos; it has weaponised them!

Live, Def Con Dos are less a band and more a verbal riot squad. César Strawberry commands the stage like a ringmaster of chaos, firing off lines that still land uncomfortably close to the truth, while the music slams forward with the blunt force of industrialised rage. This isn’t polished rebellion — it’s sweat-soaked, shout-along catharsis, designed for packed rooms and raised fists.

An Alzheimer anniversary show isn’t about remembering the past — it’s about reminding the present why this band mattered, and still does. Expect political venom, dark humour, sonic violence and a crowd united by noise, defiance and a refusal to shut up. Def Con Dos aren’t looking back.They’re making damn sure nobody forgets.
