Mordor Truckers deal in slow-burning, fuzz-heavy stoner doom with a psychedelic edge, built around the guitar work of Manuel Ceballos and a tight rhythm section driven by drummer Brendan Bazzi. Their 2023 EP "Nowhere" — recorded at Wecando Music studio in Joinville — features the tracks "Ammit" and "Mindless," showcasing the band's taste for heavy, hypnotic grooves and atmospheric heaviness.
Motores Malditos draw on the heavy riff traditions of Black Sabbath, Kyuss, and Electric Wizard to build a thick-toned stoner metal sound. The quartet from Formiga, MG has moved quickly, releasing their self-titled debut in late 2023 and following it with the full-length '¡Malditos Motores!' just months later in April 2024.
Old Quasar draw from the fuzz-heavy well of Black Sabbath and Kyuss while working in a more reflective, introspective thread courtesy of vocalist and lyricist Daniel Vitório, whose lyrics take cues from Henry Thoreau's writing. Their self-titled debut, a five-track EP recorded in a single weekend at Casa 39 studio, establishes a dense, doom-tinged stoner sound.
Old Stove cook up a thick, fuzz-coated brand of stoner rock powered by the guitar and vocals of Gabriel Freitas, with Lucas Braga on bass and Murilo Costa on drums locking in a heavy, desert-scorched groove. Their 2015 debut album #1 opened with the slow-burning "Place Pigalle" and showcased a band clearly schooled in the low-slung psychedelia of the genre's American forebears.
Solo project of Diogo W F Pereira that melds industrial heaviness with progressive structure and gothic undertones, drawing explicit influence from Rammstein, Megadeth, and Paradise Lost. The debut EP "Night Falls Heavy" (2022), recorded at Funds House studio, pairs themes of technological anxiety and late-capitalist alienation with dense, melodic riffing and harsh vocals.
A band that charted an restless course through the underground, starting from speed and thrash metal before shifting toward stoner rock and eventually hardcore. Their trajectory across multiple releases on Bandcamp reflects a willingness to abandon genre comfort zones, though the band ultimately dissolved before fully consolidating either direction.
