Cemitério is a death/thrash metal project from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2014 by multi-instrumentalist Hugo Golon. The band's self-titled debut album, recorded at RH Studios and released in 2014, draws heavily on classic horror films of the 1970s and 1980s for its lyrical themes, taking influence from early death metal acts such as Possessed, Death, and Pestilence, as well as Brazilian legends Sepultura, Mutilator, and Vulcano. The project is released through Kill Again Records.
Cenagal is a thrash metal band from Quilpué whose debut demo, released in August 2018 through Valparaíso distro Los Restos Dela Esfera, announced a sound shaped by classic extreme thrash forebears including early Sepultura, Slayer, Kreator, Pestilence, and Sodom. Their self-described "dirty and streetwise" approach grounds the band firmly in the street-level thrash tradition of the Chilean underground.

Christian Alejandro is an instrumental progressive metal solo project from Coquimbo, Chile, whose debut EP "Per Seculum Seculorum" (2010) introduced five tracks of self-described "Instrumental Epic Prog Metal." The project's 2023 album "G.NEM" expanded the approach into a ten-chapter conceptual work featuring guest soloists and a closing title track that runs over sixteen minutes.
Chronos is a heavy/thrash metal band from Santiago with roots stretching back to 1983, when founders Claudio Martínez and José Ihnen formed the group that would release the influential "Medieval Tales" demo (1986) and the album "A Dónde Vas" (1989) before disbanding.
