named after a rare bird spezies from guatemala, a bird that will die in captivity - pronounced: ´k´ets´al. it's hard to describe their sound or even try to categorize them - screamo? maybe. but obivously influenced by bands like fugazi - song-oriented, fast forward ...hardcore (?)
whatever, maybe that's one of the reasons why QUETZAL was an interesting band for us then, the impossibility to categorise them. and our interest leaded to our collaboration with CONSPIRACY/QUETZAL and to severeal great tours and show, loads of fun and friends in belgium.
most of the members of QUETZAL play in IN-KATA now.
