History
Hacavitz was founded by Antimo Buonnano and Oscar García in 2003.

The band's first two studio albums titled "Venganza" (Vengeance) and "Katun" were released through the label Moribund Records. In 2010, they released their third studio album Metztli Obscura, which was released through both Embrace My Funeral and Moribund Records. In 2015, Hacavitz release their fourth album "Darkness Beyond" in which the band switched to black metal and was released by the label Dark Descent Records and Concreto Records in the United States and Mexico respectively. Hacavitz then released their fifth album "Nex Nihil", which was originally released in August 2017 and later released on 28 September 2018 on Moribund Recurds. It maintains its dark and dense essence of black metal that it has been displaying in the band's two previous albums. In 2020, they released 2 splits, "Ad Noctem" with Espectrum Mortis (Spain) on VOMIT Records and "Tercer Nadir Venenoso" with Valdraveth and Theurgia on MAT Records.

In January 2024, Hacavitz announced that they would release their sixth studio album, entitled Muerte.
