Assembled during the pandemic in late 2021, O Espírito Profano wrote entirely in Portuguese and drew their themes from death, misanthropy, and spiritual suffering. Their short-lived run produced a self-titled release and a live EP recorded at the UFCAT university festival in Catalão, blending black, death, and doom metal into a dense and despairing sound before splitting up.
Formed by Daemon Lutor and Licantropo, Osculum Infame traffic in bestial black/death metal rooted in the Amazonian underground, releasing their debut Eras Abissais in 2017 and following it with Nuclear Alfa Caos in 2022. Their sound sits in the war metal tradition — raw, blasphemous, and relentless — and they have also appeared on splits including the Holocausto da Luxúria Bestial split with Bode Profanador.
Oscuro Mito is a black/folk metal band from Cochabamba, Bolivia, formed in 2008 and released through Catáfila Producciones. Their music draws heavily on Andean themes — Inca and Aymara culture, ancestral legends, and indigenous paganism — which sets them apart within Bolivia's extreme metal scene. The band released their debut full-length Yuraq Ushpa in 2019, following years of demos and split appearances including the 2015 compilation Holocausto Zine.
Formed in Belo Horizonte in 2012 by members steeped in Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer, Ossuário play raw, uncompromising black/speed metal soaked in occult darkness and stripped-back aggression. Their debut EP Metal Antichrist (2016) established their reputation in the national underground, and the 2025 follow-up Metal Póstumo — released on cassette by Morbid Ways to Die and on CD by Cianeto Discos — continues that tradition with the current trio of Coveiro, Necrolsky, and Splatter.
