1917 are a brutal death metal band from Lima, Argentina. They formed during 1994, and for 4 years, toured before releasing their first lp "Inti Huacay" during 1998. Their name is said to have derived from a sculpture dated 1917.
Currently, all of the band's founding members have dispersed, except vocalist/guitarist Alejando Sabransky, who vows to return the group to its once former glory; once he finds a drummer.
