Karadima is a grindcore/death metal band from the Valparaíso region of Chile, whose name references Fernando Karadima, the Chilean Catholic priest found guilty by the Vatican in 2011 of sexually abusing minors — a deliberate act of social provocation consistent with grindcore's tradition of confrontational naming. The band released their debut full-length Desde hoy seré tu dios in 2018, followed by the nano-EP Torcido and the album Mansión Guarén, both in 2020, all produced through Calaka Records.

Koma is a death/black metal and grindcore band from São Paulo, Brazil, operating under an explicitly antifascist, anarchist, and communist ethos. The band released their debut EP "Sinfonia da Desgraça," which blends grindcore, deathgrind, black metal, and sludge metal influences. They are active on Bandcamp under the handle koma5 and present their sound as a direct fusion of extreme music with radical political conviction.

Kubark is a grindcore band from Valparaíso, Chile, whose name is borrowed from the CIA's classified 1963 counterintelligence interrogation manual — a reference that resonates sharply given Chile's history of US-backed state violence. Their 2015 full-length Exterminados Como Ratas and 2019 EP Desintegración Interior deliver short, abrasive tracks addressing state repression, police brutality, and social collapse, and they have appeared on a Latin American grindcore split alongside bands from Peru, Colombia, and Argentina.
