Formed in 2014 in the vibrant heart of Cancún, Jet Jaguar has quickly risen as one of Mexico’s most electrifying metal exports. In a country where heavy metal pulses through the veins of generations, their sound is both a tribute and a rallying cry. They are proof that the love of metal in Mexico is fierce, loyal, and deeply rooted. Also, the future is in the great hands of these underground heroes.

Their name carries weight. The jaguar, a sacred symbol in local mythology, represents power, protection, and the ability to walk between worlds. It’s a fitting emblem for a band that blends tradition with thunder. And yes, there’s a nod to the Japanese cult hero Jet Jaguar, who is a kaiju-fighting machine with a heart of gold and fists of steel. That fusion of myth and pop culture mirrors the band’s own blend of classic metal spirit and modern fire.

In this interview, we dive into their journey, their inspirations, and the roar behind the riffs. Jet Jaguar is a force to be reckoned with their new release Severance (out on October 24, 2025). Check out the lead single, “Mach 10”, which is speed metal, face melting, and riff blazing powerhouse of energy.

Full review of the album, Severance, is coming soon!
