Abductions is a black/death metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul — a city with one of Brazil's longest-established extreme metal traditions, home to legends like Krisiun. The band blends the fast-picked tremolo riffing and blast-beat intensity of death metal with black metal's raw atmosphere and misanthropic aesthetics. They are signed to Acid Vicious and remain active within Porto Alegre's thriving underground scene.
Death metal band from Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, formed in 2018 and featuring a lineup of Yuri Almeida on drums, Júlio Cesar on guitar, David Andrade on vocals, and Nathan Franco on bass. They released a self-titled debut in 2016 and followed it with the full-length Thanatos in 2023, the latter produced with a music video for the track "Eviscerator." Their sound draws on traditional brutal death metal with lyrical themes spanning philosophy, history, and politics.
Black/death metal band from Ourinhos, São Paulo, formed in 2021 and representing the deep interior of the state's underground extreme metal scene. Little documented material exists beyond their Metal Archives registration, placing them squarely in the raw South American black and death metal tradition.
Early-1990s death metal band from São Paulo, active briefly around 1990 to 1992, with a lineup that included Hamilton on vocals and guitar, Aziz Magice on guitar, Claudio Hefestus on drums, and Damico on bass. The band left behind a single rehearsal demo, "Abhor Reh '92," placing them among the first wave of São Paulo death metal acts that laid groundwork for the city's extreme metal scene.
Brutal death metal band from São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, founded by brothers Rangel and Fernando Arroyo in 1997. Drawing on Deicide, Morbid Angel, and Krisiun as key influences, Abhorrence built their sound around blasting double-kick percussion, speed-driven guitar riffs, and demonic vocal delivery, releasing the full-length Evoking the Abomination in 2000 on Evil Vengeance/Listenable Records and the late-period Obliteration in 2008.
Thrash and groove metal band from Brasília, Distrito Federal, active from 1988 to approximately 2008. Over their career they released two studio albums — Rage in 1996 and Caution! Strong Irritant in 2001 — as well as several compilation appearances, making them one of the longer-running heavy metal acts in Brazil's capital city.
Abhorrent Spawn is a Brutal Death Metal and Grindcore band from Bogotá, Colombia. The band released two EPs in quick succession — A Creepy Bald Man Eating Spaghetti in 2023 and Nice to Meat You in 2024 — establishing themselves as part of Bogotá's extreme metal underground.
Abiogenesis is a heavy metal band from Concepción, Chile, whose sound blends traditional heavy metal with hard rock, technical metal, and jazz-influenced passages. Their album "Eternos Laberintos" (2025) was recorded at El Cuartel del Músico in Concepción, produced by guitarist Eduardo Martínez alongside the band, and mixed and mastered by César González. The record is a conceptual work exploring the mental, emotional, and physical states of the human experience.
Heavy metal and punk band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, formed in 2012 and representing the northeast Brazilian underground scene. The band blended metallic riffing with punk energy in a region not traditionally known for a large extreme metal presence, though they have since split up and left minimal documented releases.
