São Paulo, BR · 2024–present · active
Bad Resilience is a grindcore and noisecore project from São Paulo, Brazil, founded in mid-2024 by musician Rodrigo Chenta. The project fuses diminutive riffs with raw blast-beat grind, drawing lyrical themes from Christian theology — including kenosis, ordinances, and martyrdom — with lyrics in both English and Spanish. Their debut album Mutilated Head (2024) arrived alongside the single Stoning, establishing a deliberately brutal and theologically charged identity.
São Paulo, BR · 2011–present · active
Badtrip Surfdeath is an instrumental power trio from São Paulo, Brazil, active since 2008 and coined the term 'surfdeath' to describe their collision of hardcore, grind blasts, black metal riffs, and psychedelic textures. The trio of Rodrigo Chã (guitar), Manéu Junqueira (bass), and Marcus Dentão (drums) released their self-titled debut in 2011 followed by Badtrip Surfdeath II in 2013, both recorded in São Paulo. Their entirely wordless approach lets the genre-blurring density of the music speak for itself.
Belém, BR · 2019–present · active
Baixo Calão is a grindcore band from Belém, Pará, operating out of the Amazon region and representing one of the more distinctive voices in Brazil's northern underground extreme metal scene. Their sound is rooted in old-school grindcore — relentless blasts, caustic riffs — with lyrical themes targeting anti-religion, social decay, and political corruption. The band gained notable exposure through the European underground circuit, including a performance at the Obscene Extreme Festival in the Czech Republic.
São Paulo, BR · 2008–present · active

The current lineup of Jander (vocals), Paulo PH (guitar), Fábio (bass), and Will (drums) continues to carry the São Paulo grind tradition.
Catanduva, BR · 2021–? · disbanded
Barks of Apocalypse was an experimental death metal/grindcore one-man project from Catanduva, São Paulo, active 2021–2023. Created by Billy Grind — who also runs the underground label Podreira Records — the project replaced human vocals with the recorded barks of his three dogs, directly inspired by the US band Caninus; the 2021 full-length Canis Lupus Familiaris combined grinding death metal riffwork with this canine-vocal concept.
BR · 2019–? · disbanded
BDSM was a Brazilian raw black metal, grindcore, and noise band that self-identified as "Junkie Black Metal," operating out of Inferno, Brazil from around 2016 to 2023.

Their themes centered on human degradation, sex, drugs, and hate, channeling the ugliest end of the Brazilian underground.
