History

Los Muertos de Cristo was formed in 1989 in the Andalusian town of Utrera, Province of Seville. LMDC's first concert took place a year later, in Utrera. They began recording their first album A las Barricadas in 1994, but due to the record company's financial problems it was released in 1995.

In 2000, while mixing the album Bienvenidos al infierno, vocalist Lorenzo Morales set out to create an exhaustive work that would delve into the libertarian movement. The multimedia project was titled Rapsodia Libertaria, consisting of three album volumes, each accompanied by a nearly 400-page book. The first volume was released in 2004. The band announced their dissolution at the BaituRock festival in 2006. LMDC's farewell tour lasted a year, with the Spanish tour ending in 2008 in Fuenlabrada, Madrid.{{cite web |title=los muertos de cristo - Gira España |url=http://www.elnoidelsucre.com/lmc/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=28 |website=elnoidelsucre.com |access-date=24 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100624083658/http://www.elnoidelsucre.com/lmc/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=28 |archive-date=24 June 2010}} The Latin American tour consisted of four concerts, beginning in Guadalajara, Mexico on 14 June; their final concert took place on 28 June 2008, at the Estadio Nacional (National Stadium) in Santiago, Chile.{{cite news |title=Los Muertos de Cristo se despiden en Guadalajara |last=Espinoza |first=Javier |url=https://www.informador.mx/amp/Entretenimiento/Los-Muertos-de-Cristo-se-despiden-en-Guadalajara-20080615-0196.html |access-date=26 November 2023 |work=El Informador |date=14 June 2008 |language=es}}{{cite web|url=http://www.manerasdevivir.com/noticias/56672/muertos-de-cristo-chile|title=Vídeo del último concierto de Los Muertos de Cristo con el público como protagonista|website=Manerasdevivir.com|accessdate=1 October 2020}}{{cite web |title=los muertos de cristo - Gira Latinoamérica |url=http://www.elnoidelsucre.com/lmc/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=29 |website=elnoidelsucre.com |access-date=24 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100624083714/http://www.elnoidelsucre.com/lmc/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=29 |archive-date=24 June 2010}}
