LOS HUAYCOS said, "'Igual Que Hoy' means 'same as today.' The song is about how there will always be the controlled, manipulated, and denominated; the ones who barely adapt, and how, from the shadows, the invisible, the unnameable, will tell them what to do. Most people will live between home and work enjoying the second season of their fashionable TV show. Tomorrow will be the same as today because today was the same as yesterday."Hear "Igual Que Hoy," exclusively at Decibel Magazine.

Although the friendship between Asmereir and Metamorphosis began in the rehearsal studio Chinchay Melchormalo in 1996, LOS HUAYCOS was forged in mid-2013 in Oakland, California. Following a three-song demo, the band played their first show - Tankcrimes' Brainsqueeze II on April 20th, 2014. Since then, LOS HUAYCOS has performed in various places throughout the Bay Area, and with several of their favorite bands like Dag Nasty, Ghoul, The Shrine, Wolfeyes, and Midnight. Additional live highlights include opening for NOFX in Lima, Peru among other shows in their hometown, an East Coast tour, and performances at Skull Fest in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania two years in a row.
In September of 2017, the casting director for Netflix's 13 Reasons Why series contacted the band to record a Circle Jerks cover ("Wild In The Streets") and play live in episode 10 of the second season. LOS HUAYCOS recorded the track at Atomic Garden Studios in East Palo Alto, California where they would return to record this year's Savage Monstrosities.
