Festering Explosion is a one-man goregrind project from São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, operated by Sérgio Sanches Parra. The project has released multiple recordings including the 15-track album Incisions in Rot (2021), the EP Diagnosis of Bodily Collapse (2021), and the album Where the Dead Don't Rest (2020), all rooted in old-school goregrind and death metal aesthetics.
Freak Maniacs are a goregrind trio from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2022, consisting of Thales Gory on guitars and vocals, Igor Dead on bass and growls, and Huevo on drums. The band released their debut album "Various Stages Of The Murder Process" in January 2022, recorded at Sotão Estúdio in the Pirituba district of São Paulo and mixed and mastered by Simon Nicolas of Vergoten Records. Their sound blends gore-obsessed lyrical themes with sludge-inflected grind brutality.
Harmony Fault is a goregrind and brutal death metal band from Lajeado, Brazil, active since 2002 and dedicated to splatter-themed extreme music. The band released their debut demo Pedaços de Carne Podre in 2002, followed by the full-length Rotting Flesh Good Meal in 2011 and Savage Horror Dementia in 2014, the latter recorded at Beto Estudio in Lajeado. Their 2024 release Gore Beyond Blood, issued through Old Grindered Days Records, featured the lineup of Calebe, Guilherme, Pulga, and Monteiro.
HumanMeatGrinder was a one-man goregrind and crossover project from Barretos, São Paulo, formed in 2021 by Rafael Douglas. The project blended death metal and grindcore with politically and socially charged Portuguese-language lyrics, debuting with the EP Matadouro (December 2021), recorded at home with limited resources. A second release, Instrumento, followed before the project dissolved.
Imundície is a nihilistic goregrind band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2016. The trio — Junior Purulent, Fabricio Terribile, and Léo Manhães, all veterans of the Brazilian extreme underground — released their debut full-length Kolaps Civilizace on October 31, 2023 through Rotten Foetus Records, recorded across multiple sessions at HurricaneStudio in Porto Alegre. The album's sixteen tracks blend primitive goregrind with noisecore touches.
Malt is a two-piece brutal death metal and goregrind band from Talca, Chile, comprising Larval on guitars and vocals and Myiasis on bass, drums, and guitars. The duo recorded their debut full-length Rehearseled from Beyond at Myiasis's own Miasmatic Myiasis Studio and released the advance single Impaled Souls in late 2025.
A self-described "old school death metal fleshcult" from Pernambuco whose approach owes a clear debt to the goregrind end of early 1990s extremity — their Repulsion cover signals as much. They debuted with the 2024 demo "Anatomy of the Grotesque" and followed it with the "Frenzied Necrotiscism" EP.
Emerging from the wreckage of Corrosive Nausea, Neuro-Visceral Exhumation spent the early 2000s releasing some of the most unhinged goregrind to come out of Brazil, including Mass Murder Festival (2003) and The Human Society Wants More Gore (2004). The band periodically resurfaced over the years, most recently issuing Thou Shalt Be Slaughtered in 2021 and Gruesome Body Count in 2022 before going quiet again.
Petiot deals in filthy, no-frills goregrind with clear debts to Regurgitate, Carcass, and Flesh Grinder, building a prolific catalogue of releases including the full-length Xipophages and the collaborative split The Art of Surgery with Lipoma (2023). A further split, Morgue Escape, was released alongside Putrefacta, cementing the band's standing in the underground goregrind circuit.
