Río Grande, AR · 2019–present · active
Páramo Bonzai is a stoner/doom/fuzz rock quartet from Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, formed in November 2018. The lineup consists of Enzo Cabezón on vocals, Rodrigo Luna on guitar, Andrés "Primo" Osvaldo on bass, and Joaquin "Pogo" Páramos on drums. They have released three records: the debut full-length Canis Majoris (2019), the follow-up EP Kwanyip (2022), and El Rey Del Abismo (2024).
Belém, BR · 2023–present · split-up
Passional arrived from Belém's underground in 2023 with a short, prolific burst of doom-soaked death and thrash metal, releasing multiple records in rapid succession including I Cry... Tears of Blood and Sweet Revenge... To Kill You After My Death. Their material orbits crimes of passion, emotional devastation, and the violence that can emerge from betrayal, with extended compositions that sit at the bleaker, slower end of the death-doom spectrum.
Osasco, BR · 1992–present · active
One of the foundational acts in Brazilian doom/death metal, Pentacrostic formed in Osasco in 1989 and helped establish the sound on their debut "The Pain Tears" (1992), which incorporated material stretching back to their 1990 demo "Agony of Souls." Their follow-up "De Profundis" (1996) on Cogumelo Records is considered a rare and overlooked gem of the genre, and the band has remained active for decades as pioneers of the form in South America.
Jujuy, AR · 2019–present · active
