M.D.K. is a brutal death metal and grindcore band from Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 1997 by core members Thales Zago (guitars/vocals), André Lazarini (drums/bass), and Boca (vocals). The trio released three studio albums—"Splatterguts" (2005), "Cuntanasia" (2009), and "Into the Pussymorgue" (2012)—alongside a prolific run of splits with international goregrind acts including Malignant Tumour, Kadaverficker, and Rotten Penetration.
Malt is a two-piece brutal death metal and goregrind band from Talca, Chile, comprising Larval on guitars and vocals and Myiasis on bass, drums, and guitars. The duo recorded their debut full-length Rehearseled from Beyond at Myiasis's own Miasmatic Myiasis Studio and released the advance single Impaled Souls in late 2025.
Marturion deliver brutal death metal with explicit Christian lyrical themes, an unusual pairing that places them alongside a small but dedicated scene of faith-driven extreme metal acts. Their self-titled debut EP features seven tracks including "Face A Face," "Drogas," and "Misericordia Eternal Soberana," released independently on CD-R.
Massacred is an Argentine brutal death metal and grindcore project driven by guitarist/vocalist Christian Edwards and bassist Robert Myiasis, drawing heavy inspiration from Mortician and incorporating horror film samples and Resident Evil video game themes throughout their music. The band has been prolific across multiple releases, including the 2022 album "Human Extermination" and the 20-track "Mortal Annihilation", released in March 2025 to positive notice from No Clean Singing. Their songs typically clock in at one to two minutes, delivering non-stop blast beats and heavy riffing in the old-school brutal death metal tradition.
A one-man brutal death metal project by Nostra Cantus built entirely around feline themes, pushing the genre's absurdist edge with releases like Cowgato From Mars, The Paw is the Law, Gato com Facão, and Cangato From Outer Space. The project pairs unrelenting blast beats and guttural vocals with a consistently deadpan cat-themed concept, and has also collaborated with Doggy Style on the split The War on All Fours.
A brutal death metal act from the Greater São Paulo industrial belt, Midnightmare built their sound around pulverizing heaviness and unrelenting speed across releases including "Behind of the Agony Mask" (2004) and "Death Is the Only Salvation" (2014). The band operated independently throughout their run before eventually dissolving.
Active since 1999 and anchored in Minas Gerais, Mortifer Rage — built around the core of vocalist/bassist Carlos Pira, guitarists Robert Aender and R. Amon, and drummer Angelo Petterson — play punishing brutal death metal with a career spanning EPs like Field of Flagellation and full-lengths including Fall of Gods (2017). Their 2024 album Plagues Requiem, recorded at Maçonaria do Áudio in Nova Lima and released through Demoncratic Records, confronts themes of human manipulation and historical atrocity with the band's characteristic density and aggression.
Mortificy is a brutal death metal band from the Amazon region with a discography spanning two decades, including the albums "Brutal Instinct of Retalliation" (2003), "Unholy Triumph" (2006), and "Burn and Suffer" (2012). Their sound is dense and relentless, rooted in the aggressive traditions of Amazonian extreme metal with anti-religious lyrical themes.
Mutilagia is a five-piece slamming brutal death metal band from southern Argentina whose lineup includes Marcos Corbalan on vocals, Sergio Romero and Ignacio Sanabria on guitars, Nicolás Guaquin on bass, and Angel Levin on drums. Their debut album "Non-Human Atrocities" was recorded at Ataraxia Studio in Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego and released in September 2022, with a follow-up single featuring guest vocalist Matthias Joyce (Rottenness) arriving in 2026.
