recorded two albums during the 1990s

Díaz moved back to Medellín and decided to continue La Pestilencia and recruited new members. The new line-up of La Pestilencia recorded two albums during the 1990s, Las nuevas aventuras de La Pestilencia (1993) and La Amarillista (1997). During this period Díaz was also a member of a second group, playing bass guitar for the Medellín death metal band Masacre. By the time of the latter record’s release La Pestilencia had become a popular live act, and a regular fixture at Bogotá’s Rock al Parque festival, the largest hard rock and metal festival in the country, and their growing popularity had generated belated interest in the group’s 1989 debut album. The group ended the decade by playing to 100,000 people as the support act to Metallica in Bogotá’s Simón Bolívar Park in May 1999.
