One of Espírito Santo's earliest extreme metal exports, Porrada!!! formed in 1991 and quickly carved through death/black metal into grindcore territory, releasing three records in rapid succession: The Avalanche (1992), The Society's Open Hurts (1993), and Long Live Grindcore!!! (1994). Their lyrics tackled death, politics, and social decay, and the increasing grindcore aggression across those three releases marked them as genuine pioneers of the Brazilian extreme underground.
Porta Infernum is a black metal band from Los Teques, Miranda, Venezuela, active since 2007.

Long-running black metal act from São Paulo state that built a foundation on three demo tapes and a split 7" EP before releasing their debut full-length "Solitude" in 2019 on Voz da Morte Prod and Culto ao Metal.

Underground black metal band from São Paulo whose releases include the demo "Sob Ritos Antigos" and the split "Profane Alliance of Destruction," material that draws on early Bathory and Mayhem with original Portuguese-language compositions alongside raw cover selections. The project is driven by vocalist Wolf Krieger, who also runs the doom/black side-project Krieg Filosophy.
Profanatic Lust is a two-piece black metal act with members drawn from bands including Hellishkiller and Mørtvs, channelling satanic and left-hand-path doctrine into raw, uncompromising material. Their 2022 debut EP "The Cvlt Ov the Old Ones" was released on cassette and CD, establishing a sound rooted in orthodox blasphemy and ritual atmosphere.
Profane Anger is a death/black metal trio featuring Rômulo Nekro Daemon on vocals and bass, Paulo Death on guitars, and Reverend Ivan Sabbath on drums, recording out of Natal's Abyss Occults and Black Hole studios. Their 2015 EP "Fall of the Liar" introduced their corrosive approach, followed by the split "Pact with the Devil" in 2019.
One of the older names in Brazilian underground black metal, Profane Creation dates back to 1991 and released the demo "Nema" before appearing on a landmark 1996 split with Inquisition on Sylphorium Records.
