Black/death metal band from Ourinhos, São Paulo, formed in 2021 and representing the deep interior of the state's underground extreme metal scene. Little documented material exists beyond their Metal Archives registration, placing them squarely in the raw South American black and death metal tradition.
Early-1990s death metal band from São Paulo, active briefly around 1990 to 1992, with a lineup that included Hamilton on vocals and guitar, Aziz Magice on guitar, Claudio Hefestus on drums, and Damico on bass. The band left behind a single rehearsal demo, "Abhor Reh '92," placing them among the first wave of São Paulo death metal acts that laid groundwork for the city's extreme metal scene.
Brutal death metal band from São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, founded by brothers Rangel and Fernando Arroyo in 1997. Drawing on Deicide, Morbid Angel, and Krisiun as key influences, Abhorrence built their sound around blasting double-kick percussion, speed-driven guitar riffs, and demonic vocal delivery, releasing the full-length Evoking the Abomination in 2000 on Evil Vengeance/Listenable Records and the late-period Obliteration in 2008.
A death metal and grindcore band from Brasília formed in 2017, operating in the tradition of Brazilian extreme metal with the short, brutal blasts characteristic of the grind style. Working out of the country's capital — less historically prominent in extreme metal than São Paulo or Belo Horizonte — the band contributes to a growing underground scene in the city.
A death metal band from Barão Geraldo — a district of Campinas, São Paulo state — formed in 1994 by brothers Glauco Silva and Caio Cezar. They released the demo "Pestilent Emanation" in 1994 and appeared on the compilation "Death Or Glory Vol. 1" in 1995 before eventually splitting up.
A short-lived death metal band from Carapicuíba, a municipality in Greater São Paulo, formed and dissolved around 2020. With minimal recorded output and little web presence, the band was part of the dense underground death metal activity in the São Paulo metropolitan area before going inactive.
A death metal trio from Guarulhos, São Paulo, consisting of Ronaldo on vocals and bass, Thiago on guitar, and Denis on drums. Their 2017 debut album "Hopeless" — recorded at Kadence Studio in Guarulhos — delivers seven tracks of aggressive extreme metal built around anti-religious themes, drawing from both death and black metal in the brutal São Paulo tradition.
A thrash and death metal band from Rio de Janeiro whose members come from the city's and Niterói's underground metal scene. Aiming to push beyond conventional song structures while keeping the music grounded rather than indulgently technical, the band released the EP "Ravishers of Innocence and Purity" to positive reception within Brazil's extreme metal community.
Absurdium is a death metal band from Americana, São Paulo, Brazil, with roots going back to 2002 through predecessor projects including Healer and Divine Putrefaction. The band released their album 'Man-Made Horrors Beyond Comprehension' in January 2025, a 10-track, 32-minute record channeling old-school death metal aggression with socially critical lyrical themes.
