Alien's Purger is a grindcore/death metal band from Ouro Branco, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed in May 2021 by guitarist Marcão Mamute, vocalist Daniel Índio, and drummer Ildegrind. Their debut full-length "The Korotian's Saga" (2023), released via The Hills Are Dead Records, is a 20-track, 25-minute concept album built around the band's signature themes of aliens and cigars — absurdist subject matter delivered with blasting, no-frills grindcore brutality. The record was engineered and mixed by Bruno Bassani, who also contributed additional instrumentation to the recording.

Alone with Whores is a black metal/grindcore band from Catanduva, São Paulo, formed in 2023 and released on the local D.I.Y. imprint Podreira Records.

São Paulo, BR · 2020–? · disbanded
Ameaça Nuclear — Portuguese for "Nuclear Threat" — was a death metal and grindcore band from São Paulo, Brazil, active from 2020 until their split. The band operated in the tradition of São Paulo's brutal underground extreme metal scene, blending the raw aggression of grindcore with death metal's heavier structures. Their Bandcamp presence documents their brief but intense run in the city's tightly knit extreme metal circuit.
Victoria, CL · 2007–present · active
Anal Carnage is a death/grind band from Victoria, Chile, whose origins trace back to a grindcore project called Necrosis before the band adopted their current name. They released a self-titled demo in 2007 and followed it with the six-track record "Uncontainable Temptation to Kill" in 2009, establishing a brutal sonic identity rooted in the Chilean underground extreme metal scene.
Palhoça, BR · 2014–? · disbanded
Anartria was a death metal and grindcore band from Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Brazil, part of the underground extreme metal scene of the state's southern coast. The band blended the punishing brevity of grindcore with death metal heaviness, operating as an independent act before splitting up.
Sorocaba, BR · 2020–present · active
Anastomose is a death metal and grindcore band from Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2020. Working in the tradition of Brazilian extreme metal, the band fuses the blunt force of grindcore with death metal brutality, operating as an independent act out of the São Paulo interior scene.
Curitiba, BR · 2008–present · active
Anmod is a brutal death metal and grindcore trio from Curitiba, Paraná, operating in the self-described "death-grinder" tradition. Comprising Johnny R.R. on drums, Hernan on bass and vocals, and Alex W.A. on guitars, the band grew out of the ashes of Fornication and has released at least two full-lengths: "Monstrosity per Defectum" and "Inner Upheavals."
BR · 2021–? · disbanded
A short-lived Brazilian solo project by Lucylove, blending black metal, death metal, grindcore, and noise into what the artist described as "Brazilian deathgrind crust." Their 2022 debut EP "Anti-Fa, Anti-You, Anti-All," released through No Profit, No Money Records, packs ten tracks of nihilistic extremity, with chaotic noise textures and lyrical themes centered on emptiness and anti-authoritarian rage. A second EP, "The Nekrocrust," followed in October 2023 before the project disbanded.
Olinda (early)/Paulista (later), BR · 2024–? · disbanded
Antropofagia were a death metal and grindcore band originating in Olinda, Pernambuco and later based in the neighboring city of Paulista, Brazil, formed in 2024 and split up shortly after. Operating within the brutal underground tradition of northeastern Brazilian extreme metal, the band drew on the visceral death/grind template and the 'antropofagia' concept — a cannibalistic cultural metaphor with deep Brazilian artistic roots — as both name and aesthetic. Their brief existence left a limited but intense recorded footprint in the local underground.
