A.N.I.M.A.L. (Acosados Nuestros Indios Murieron Al Luchar) meaning (Our Harrased Indians Died Fighting) is a metal band from Argentina and one of the most important in Latin America Latin America consists of the countries of South America and some of North America (including Central America and some the islands of the Caribbean) whose inhabitants mostly speak Romance languages, although Native American languages are also spoken. ...

It was founded by the singer and guitarrist Andrés Giménez in 1992 nuder the name of "Animal", but due to legal issues the name was quickly changed to the actual version. A.N.I.M.A.L.'s sound is that of heavy metal and most lyrics are in defense and in favor of ethnic minorities and original peoples of Latin America; this can be seen in many song titles like Solo Por Ser Indios ("Only For Being Indian"), Guerra De Razas ("Race War"), Poder Latino ("Latin Power") and Raza Castigada ("Punished Race"). 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday. ... Heavy metals, in chemistry, are chemical elements of a particular range of atomic weights. ...

The band's success grew taking it to play in most Latin American countries, the United States and Europe. When longtime bassist Marcelo "Corvata" Corvalan and then drummer Andres "El Niño" Vilanova (who joined the band in 1998 at age 17) left the band in 1999, the band entenred a clear and slow downward spiral as many fans started losing interest in it. Europe is conventionally considered one of the seven continents of Earth which, in this case, is more a cultural and political distinction than a physiographic one, leading to various perspectives about Europes borders. ... 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ... 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

In 2006 it was announced that the band would take an indefinite break; this resulted in Martín Carrizo's (drummer) leaving the band and Andrés Giménez forming a new band called "D'mente" (word play meaning both demente ("lunatic") and devil mente ("devil mind", Andres' nickname).
