Formed in 2012 by Wilson (Evil Puke), Luan (slaughterrazor), and Alex Henrique Rangel, Poison Beer played aggressive old-school thrash drawing heavily from the German scene while weaving in crossover, black, and death metal influences.

Possuído pelo Cão (PxPxCx) is a crossover thrash supergroup assembled from members of VIOLATOR, D.F.C., and Terror Revolucionário, dedicated to reviving the circle-pit mayhem of 1980s hardcore-thrash hybrids.

Predatory are a São Paulo thrash metal outfit whose material has been picked up by underground compilations including Suspiria de Profundis II and Violent Records' Endless Massacre IV, on which their track "Hated" appeared.
