Goiânia, BR · 2018–present · active
A stalwart of the Goiânia metal scene, Mugo mixes death metal heaviness with thrash energy and pronounced groove, drawing comparisons to Obituary and At the Gates. Their discography spans multiple full-lengths including "Go to the Next Floor" (2009), "Race of Disorder" (2017), and "Tempest" (2019), each refining their brand of extreme metal with elaborate harmonies.
San Carlos de Bariloche, AR · 2011–present · active
Munkill is an extreme metal band from San Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro, whose founding members include vocalist/guitarist Demogorgon Malignum, bassist Malice Misanthropic, and drummer Sebastian Ortega. Their debut album "Suicide Or Homicide" was recorded at Insight Producciones and released in September 2012, followed by "Ambition and Destruction" in 2020, recorded in quarantine and mixed by Agustin Ortega at Demogorgon Malignum Producciones.
São Cristóvão / Boquim, BR · 2012–present · active
A two-member war machine built around Aubert Mutilator on vocals and programming and Iscariot Destructor on guitars and bass, Mutilação Anticristã traffics in raw, lo-fi black/death metal with an uncompromising anti-Christian and satanic worldview. The duo released "Metal Negro Anticristo" in 2012 and followed it with the even more abrasive "Noite de Sexo Bestial e Profano" in 2014, both recorded in the Sergipe underground without concession to polish or accessibility.
Osasco, BR · 2005–present · active
Mythological Cold Towers deal in slow, heavy doom that draws equally from the death-doom tradition and epic doom's grandiose sweep, with lyrical themes orbiting ancient South American civilizations, mythology, and lost monuments. Albums like Immemorial (2011) and Monvmenta Antiqva (2015) display the band's ability to balance crushing heaviness with melodic keyboard passages and an almost archaeological sense of atmosphere.
Bucaramanga, CO · active
Necroblade was a one-man Death/Thrash Metal project from Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia, active from 2012 until its dissolution in 2020. The project released a series of demos between 2017 and 2018 before its output was absorbed into Kathreptis, a collaborative band formed by the same musician alongside two additional members.
Fernandópolis, BR · 2015–present · active
Necrolatria deal in the slow, suffocating territory where death metal meets doom, wringing funeral weight out of every riff. Their 2020 full-length Ultimate Prevail of Darkness stands as their most substantial statement, a sprawling effort built around crushing tempos and morbid atmosphere.
Rio de Janeiro, BR · 2017–present · active
Originally formed in 1986, Necromancer finally released their debut full-length Forbidden Art in 2014 after reconnecting in 2012, a record recorded at Hanoi Studio in Rio de Janeiro and praised for channeling the old-school thrash aggression of Sodom, Destruction, and early Sepultura. Since returning to activity, they have been prolific on Bandcamp, issuing a string of EPs in 2017 including Book of the Dead and vi that continue refining their death-tinged thrash attack.
Rio de Janeiro, BR · 2017–present · split-up
Necromanicider were a death/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro active across the 1990s and 2000s under various names, including an early incarnation as Geração Eleita before settling on the Necromanicider moniker. Unusual for the genre, they grounded their dark, plodding sound in Christian themes, positioning themselves as a counter-voice to the Satanic orthodoxy that dominated Brazilian extreme metal at the time.
Rio Grande, BR · 2018–present · active
Necromatório rose directly from the ashes of Sanatório, with the same four members — Pablo on vocals, Lucas on guitar, Andrei on bass, and Marcus on drums — carrying the torch into harder territory when the previous project dissolved in 2017. Their 2018 debut, Vida Longa Aos Incrédulos, balances the boundary between thrash and death metal with five tracks of Portuguese-language lyrics attacking social and religious dogmas.
