Santiago, CL · 2012–present · active
Carvakas is a death metal band from Santiago, Chile formed around 2010–2012, whose name derives from the ancient Indian materialist philosopher Carvaka — a choice that reflects their commitment to philosophical, non-supernatural lyrical themes. Their four albums — Stultifera Navis (2013), Anti-Platonic Machinery (2015), Flesh Over Bones (2018), and Casus (2022) — combine technical riffing and polyrhythmic structures with progressive elements, each record conceptually grounded in a distinct philosophical tradition.
Quilpué, CL · 2018–present · active
Cenagal is a thrash metal band from Quilpué whose debut demo, released in August 2018 through Valparaíso distro Los Restos Dela Esfera, announced a sound shaped by classic extreme thrash forebears including early Sepultura, Slayer, Kreator, Pestilence, and Sodom. Their self-described "dirty and streetwise" approach grounds the band firmly in the street-level thrash tradition of the Chilean underground.
Temuco, CL · 2015–present · active
Cenotafio is a black/death metal duo from Temuco, formed in 2015 by guitarist/vocalist Daniel Hermosilla and drummer/vocalist Patricio Kusnir, both veterans of the southern Chilean underground through prior projects Odrum and Invehertex. Their debut demo "El Encierro de las Grandes Revelaciones" (2015) established a cavernous, slow-burning sound that carried through their debut full-length "La Fatídica Excrecencia de la Subtierra" (Memento Mori, 2017), the sophomore "Larvae Tedeum Teratos" (Blood Harvest, 2019), and the 2026 third album released on vinyl through Demoniac Productions.
São José dos Campos, BR · 2006–present · active
Chaos Synopsis is a thrash/death metal band from São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2006.

Santos, BR · 1993–present · active
Chemical Disaster is a death metal band from Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 1993 out of members of the local thrash band Ignorance.

The band's sound blends chunky, mid-paced death metal with aggressive riffing and remains active as one of the most enduring extreme metal acts from the Santos coastal region.
Curitiba, BR · 2007–present · active
Child o' Flames is a melodic thrash/death metal band from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, formed in the mid-2000s.
