Stratuz Makes History at Pepsi Music Awards

Venezuelan metal band Stratuz continues to make waves in the music industry with their groundbreaking achievement at the Pepsi Music Awards. They have become the first metal band to win the prestigious "Rock Album Of The Year" award for their album "Osculum Pacis," which was co-produced, mixed, and mastered by Arturo Banus.

A Landmark Achievement for Venezuelan Metal

The success of Stratuz is not just a personal victory; it represents a significant milestone for the Venezuelan metal scene. The band was nominated in two categories and triumphed in both:

• Rock Album of the Year for the album "Osculum Pacis."

• Best Rock Artist.

Changing the Narrative

The Pepsi Music Awards are renowned as a mainstream event, and extreme metal has often been overlooked in such prestigious circles. However, in 2023, that narrative has shifted dramatically. The recognition of Stratuz and their incredible music signifies a new era where good music, regardless of genre, is celebrated and awarded. This moment marks a proud chapter in the history of Venezuelan music, and Stratuz stands at the forefront of this exciting transformation.
