São Paulo, BR · 2024–present · active
Nameless Gods traffic in doom-death metal built around the contrast between crushing slowness and the aggressive attack of vocalist Malu Sales, whose background includes former São Paulo outfit Sophie's Threat. Their 2024 debut, And That Sigil Meant Death, leans heavily on cosmic horror and occult imagery across seven tracks, with dual guitars from Damien Mendonça and Isabela Ishibashi carving out a sound that prioritizes atmosphere and weight over technicality.

Nastik is a death/thrash metal band from Quilicura, Chile, playing a groove-heavy style they label brutal groove death metal. The band released two albums simultaneously in July 2018 — Human Sacrifice, built around fictional narratives of lost civilizations and ritual sacrifice, and GNOSTIC, exploring ancient mythology and esoteric philosophy through tracks referencing Egyptian and indigenous traditions. Both records are self-released digital albums available on the band's Bandcamp page.
Florianópolis, BR · 2019–present · split-up
Formed in 1988 by Skull Detonator, Sathan, and Kranium, Necrobutcher played a ferocious blend of death metal and grindcore where most tracks barely broke the one-minute mark. Their two 1989 demos, "Schizophrenic Christianity" and "Corrosive Noisy Torment," were later compiled by Nuclear War Now! Productions on the anthology "Schizophrenic Noisy Torment," preserving all 44 tracks of their brief but savage output.

Necrocadaveric Vomit is a death-grind band from Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina, formed around 2010 with a lineup including vocalist Joel Tutau, guitarist Santiago Pontoni, bassist Ariel Reyes, and drummer Mathías Chamorro. The band recorded their first demo, Putrid Flesh, in 2011 before releasing their self-titled full-length album in October 2015, a blistering 11-track set of pure deathgrind.
Santiago, CL · 1989–? · disbanded
Necrodead was a death/thrash metal band from Santiago, Chile, active from 1989 until their split in 2010. The band recorded their debut full-length Frustrated Message in mid-1994 at El Rancho Studios, collecting material written across the band's first five years, and returned over a decade later with the thrash-leaning Path to Death in 2007 on Stigma Records. Their lineup across that run included Michel Garrido on vocals and guitar alongside Javier Torres on drums, Richard Ayala on guitar, and Cristian Kohl on bass.
Santos, BR · 2013–present · active
Rooted in the Santos metal underground, Necrodulia plays old-school black/death metal in the vein of Blasphemy, Mystifier, and Beherit. The band features a tight-knit lineup including guitarist Ailton "Tita" Silva, drummer Ezequiel Fidalgo, bassist Ludmilla Carvalho, and vocalist Rodrigo Silva, drawing from the Baixada Santista scene's long extreme metal tradition.
Curacautín, CL · 2024–present · active
Necrofactor is a death/thrash metal band from Chile playing a groove-driven style they describe as groove thrash. The band released the full-length Ciclo de Destrucción in November 2016, an eleven-track independent album with Spanish-language lyrics exploring themes of destruction, illness, and political defiance. The record is distributed digitally on major platforms and was stocked physically through Chilean metal label Australis Records.
São Gonçalo, BR · 2019–present · split-up
A death metal band from the Rio de Janeiro state that was active from 1989 through 1996, leaving behind demo recordings including "Corta vida" and a live tape captured at Baraonda Shitclub in April 1996. Their sound drew from the same pit of brutality that defined the early Brazilian death metal underground.
Mongaguá, BR · 2022–present · active
Necrológio is a three-piece death metal band — vocalist Mike Douglas, multi-instrumentalist C. Nunes, and drummer Marcelo Pettinatti — whose debut album Morte (2022) was tracked partly live at Dakota Studio in Santos and completed at a home studio. The record moves through eight tracks of blunt, unornamented death metal with a raw, rehearsal-room directness that suits the band's name, which translates simply as obituary.
