The band released the demo compilation "Anthems of Agony" in 2002 and continued their catalog across a series of releases documented on Metal Archives under ID 42145.
Black metal band from Campinas, São Paulo, formed in 2008 and still active. Their lyrical focus centers on war and blasphemy, rooted firmly in the raw, anti-religious spirit of the Brazilian black metal underground, and they have released material through Alcatéia Distro.
Death/doom metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, regarded as one of Brazil's leading acts in the progressive death-doom space. Their sound blends melancholic, somber atmosphere with a mix of powerful growls and clean vocals, as heard on their albums including 'Mankind's Glory' and the 2023 release 'We Don't Know What We Have Become', which pushed further into progressive territory.
Grindcore band from Rio de Janeiro formed around 2000, active intermittently since with a resumed presence from 2015 onward. Singing predominantly in Portuguese, their lyrics take on social and political themes — anti-war, anti-prejudice, environmental devastation — delivered over tight, blast-driven grind across releases including the demo 'Evergrind', the LP 'Ruptura', and the 2017 EP 'Infrator'.
Black metal band from São Paulo formed in 2018, whose name translates roughly to 'omen' or 'ill omen' in Portuguese. They pursue a misanthropic, satanic-tinged style within the Brazilian underground black metal tradition, with their Bandcamp page operating under the handle 'mauagouro' ('bad omen').
Thrash metal band from Fortaleza, Ceará, formed in 2023. A very new entry into the northeast Brazilian metal scene, playing in the aggressive, riff-heavy thrash tradition that has long been a staple of Brazilian extreme metal.
Thrash metal band from Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, with roots tracing back to a veteran act of the same name founded in 1982 in that city — one of Brazil's earliest thrash outfits. The band recorded demo tapes including 'Destruição Metálica' (1986) and 'Kill or Die' (1988, later reissued on vinyl), singing in Portuguese with hardcore-influenced vocals over raw thrash riffs before disbanding and eventually reconvening.
Grindcore band from Paraíba formed in 2024, self-described as inspired by 'eardrum-destroying' grind acts. In their short existence they have already released a split with Abissal and contributed to the Incorruptible Project split, playing unpolished, raw grindcore in the vein of classic old-school grind.
Agroterrorism is a death metal and grindcore band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 2017 and active in the city's extreme underground scene. The band has self-released a series of EPs titled Tentacle, Muzzle, and Tusk, each maintaining the brutal and concise format typical of the grindcore genre. Their output reflects the raw, caustic energy that characterizes Argentina's death-grind underground.
