Heavy metal and punk band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, formed in 2012 and representing the northeast Brazilian underground scene. The band blended metallic riffing with punk energy in a region not traditionally known for a large extreme metal presence, though they have since split up and left minimal documented releases.
Abortismo is a crossover thrash/punk band from Glew, Buenos Aires Province, featuring vocalist Lazaro Infante, guitarist Ariel Zurita, and the Marmet brothers on bass and drums. The band released their self-titled EP in February 2019, recorded and produced by Damian Nayar at Neurótico Records in Buenos Aires.
Alcohelldrugs is a raw speed/thrash and metal-punk duo from Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco, formed in 2018 by brothers Thiago Xaruto and Henrique Alcoholic out of the northeastern Brazilian underground. The band released the EP "Never Stop the Madness" and the split "Hellish Alcoholic Attack" with Burial Ground, as well as the 2020 album "Infernal Metal Punk" through Murder Records, playing chaotic, lo-fi thrash punk in the tradition of Brazilian and international extremity.
Apokalyptisk Framtid is a black metal/noise/punk project from Catanduva, São Paulo state, formed in 2023. Their approach fuses the ugliness of raw black metal with punk and noise abrasion, and they have already appeared on split releases within the Brazilian underground, including the 2026 "Friends of Evil" split alongside Mortuário A.D., Mourning Souls, and Pugnax.
