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.^[2]

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.^[3] The first volume was released in 2004.^[6] The band announced their dissolution at the BaituRock festival in 2006.^[2] LMDC's farewell tour lasted a year, with the Spanish tour ending in 2008 in Fuenlabrada, Madrid.^[2][7] 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.^{[8][9][10][11]}

The band's final album, Rapsodia Libertaria Vol. III, was released on 9 November 2009. It consisted of the live performances in Fuenlabrada and Santiago.^[12] Upon dissolution, the rights to the band's works were given to the Anselmo Lorenzo Foundation [es] of the anarchist Confederación Nacional del Trabajo.^[2] Afterwards, Morales founded the band El Noi del Sucre [es], referencing the nickname of the CNT trade unionist Salvador Seguí.^[8]
