Chilean instrumental progressive metal trio Engrupid Pipol returns with the release of their new music video “Inspireichon Burn,” a fierce insight into their latest album “Quadragenta At Finem Mundi,” released this past November 2025. The track, Act IV of the album’s seven‑part conceptual narrative, captures the apocalyptic devastation of thermonuclear war and the self‑destructive greed of those who seek power at any cost. The video amplifies the song’s intensity, offering a visceral entry point into the band’s most ambitious work to date.
Formed from a lifelong friendship between guitarist Kaztrol and bassist John Dai, later joined by drummer Nacho García, Engrupid Pipol grew out of a shared belief that music is essential nourishment for the soul. What began as intricate teenage compositions evolved into a power trio known for its energetic, soulful, and technically sharp sound. Their influences, ranging from Megadeth and Metallica to Rush, King Crimson, and Dream Theater, inform a style that blends thrash, prog rock, prog metal, and djent into something unmistakably their own.
“Quadragenta At Finem Mundi” marks a major evolution for the band. It is their first fully conceptual album, a seven‑act instrumental journey through the collapse of modern civilization. Themes of nuclear conflict, AI dependence, narcissistic ambition, and runaway technological control shape a dark, prophetic vision of humanity’s end. Each track represents a “symptom” of the approaching downfall, woven together through shifting soundscapes that include acoustic passages, synthesizers, and even the traditional Latin American bombo leguero. The band describes the album as their most challenging and demanding project in nearly 25 years together, made possible in part by funding from the Chilean Ministry of Arts, Culture, and Heritage. With only three rough demos ready when studio deadlines approached, the trio spent months composing, refining, and reworking material until every piece reached full maturity.
According to Nacho, the album’s production represents a leap forward in clarity, power, and authenticity. The band focused on preserving the essence of the trio format, avoiding layers they couldn’t reproduce live while achieving a modern, crystal‑clear sound with warm, natural tones. The result is a record that captures the identity of each member and the emotional weight of each composition. Guitar melodies and groovy riffs replace lyrics, allowing listeners to interpret the music freely and immerse themselves in an altered state of consciousness.
For the band, “Quadragenta At Finem Mundi” is both a creative triumph and a personal milestone.
“The album was born from a different place than usual, one that pushed us to our limits and presented obstacles we never expected. The finished work was an auditory delight and a reward for our souls after all the effort and sacrifice,” adds Kaztrol.

“Veteran Chilean prog metallers Engrupid Pipol serve up Quadragenta At Finem Mundi (engrupidpipol.cl), the first concept album of their 25-year tenure. Without lyrics there’s no telling that these seven instrumentals were inspired by ideas of extinction (Triple Ultimatum), the perils of AI (Animal Inteligenz) and the Apocalypse itself (Aztral Configureited). However, the trio’s sound is thrashy, fiddly and deeply satisfying, with plenty of ideas and detail fuelling Kaztrol and John Dai’s ear-boggling guitar/bass widdle.” – Prog Magazine
