Exsim were a grindcore/sludge/thrash metal band from Recife, Pernambuco, formed in 2020 and now split-up. Their self-titled debut album, released in May 2020, crams 18 tracks into roughly 16 minutes and was recorded, mixed, and mastered entirely in a home studio by Daniel Farias.

Their city of origin, Clorinda, sits on the Paraguayan border, giving the band one of the more geographically remote bases in the Argentine metal underground.
