Death/thrash metal band from Fortaleza, Ceará, who signed to Italian label Wormholedeath Records and released their debut full-length Sanatorium in March 2024. The album was produced by Rafael Augusto Lopes at Casanegra studio in São Paulo and features guest guitar solos by Andre Zaza Hernandes, a veteran session musician known for his work with Angra and Andre Matos. Their sound channels raw aggression and relentless energy in the tradition of Brazilian extreme thrash.
Grindcore and crust punk band from Recife, Pernambuco, active from 2012 until their split. The name translates to Seven Days of Massacre, nodding to the blunt, politically charged tradition of Brazilian and international crust grindcore. Recife has produced a small but fierce extreme underground, and 7 Dias de Massacre operated within that scene, blending the noise-driven blast of grindcore with the anarchic energy of crust punk.
An orthodox black metal band from Rio de Janeiro whose members perform anonymously under the collective name 7 Peles, staging rituals with robes, candles, and altars. The band has released three albums — O Primeiro Evangelho do 7 Peles (2019), O Segundo Evangelho do 7 Peles (2020), and O Terceiro Evangelho do 7 Peles (2022) — built around Luciferian and Gnostic theology. Their reach extended internationally when Mayhem guitarist Charles Ghul Hedger and vocalist Attila Csihar contributed to their recordings.
7mo Sello is a death metal band from Santa Fe, Argentina, formed in August 2000, with a lineup of Juan Ignacio Acosta on guitar, Juan Manuel Escudero on drums, Cristian Ibalo on vocals, and Alan Corcico on bass. The band released the Live Sessions digital album in July 2023, featuring tracks including "Abismos de Fe" and "Asesino."
Depressive black metal project from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2015 under the name Wahn before adopting the :Nihus: moniker. The band centers on themes of depression, despair, and self-destruction, and has released the album Monólogo do Sofrimento as well as a split with Finnish act Invernium titled Forgotten Voices. Signed to Depressive Illusions Records, they have contributed tracks to Brazilian DSBM compilations and maintain a tight connection to the international depressive black metal underground.
Technical death metal band from Aracaju, Sergipe, named after Irineu Evangelista de Souza, the Baron of Mauá, the 19th-century industrialist who tried to modernize Brazil against government resistance. The band blends precision death metal with progressive and harmonic sensibilities, drawing influences from across the extreme spectrum from Napalm Death to Radiohead, and released the EP Conscience as an early showcase of their refined, worked-out approach. They have shared stages with established Brazilian acts including Torture Squad.
Ácido was a short-lived thrash metal band from São Luís, Maranhão, active between 2020 and their dissolution shortly after. Operating out of Brazil's northeastern interior rather than the more established metal centers of São Paulo or Minas Gerais, the band represented the spread of aggressive thrash into less-documented regional scenes before parting ways.
Ágona are a progressive death/thrash metal band from Rio de Janeiro who blend death and thrash metal with groove and experimental elements, citing Pantera, Lamb of God, and Mastodon as touchstones. Founded in 2005 and active across Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais, the band sings exclusively in Portuguese and grounds their work in themes of human consciousness decay, philosophy, and the occult. Their EP Essencial Putrefação is an early statement of their dense, dynamic sound.
Águila Guerrera is a power and heavy metal band from San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina, formed in 2017 by a lineup that includes Fran on vocals and guitar, Matías and Lomu on guitars, Ale on bass, and Massi on drums. The band contributed to the regional compilation Heavy Metal Desde el Tucumán Volume 2 and performed at the Tucumán Metal Fest 2021, cementing their place in the province's metal community. They have also shared stages with touring national acts as part of the northern Argentine heavy metal circuit.
