Cefem is a heavy metal band from Casilda, Santa Fe, Argentina, that released three recordings in quick succession: the album Historias Oscuras in April 2016, Pateando con el Rock n' Roll in September 2016, and Rictus Umbrio in November 2017. Their lyrical themes draw on myths, urban legends, and ancient literary sources, lending their straightforward heavy metal a distinctly eerie character.

Ceiffador is a thrash metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2013. The band is listed on the Encyclopaedia Metallum and maintains an active presence in the Brazilian underground thrash scene. Their name, a deliberate alternate spelling of the Portuguese word for “reaper,” reflects the aggressive, death-fixated aesthetic common to the Brazilian thrash tradition.
Celestial Funeral is a doom and stoner metal project from Rio Claro, São Paulo state, Brazil, formed in 2020. Their first recording, “Tubal Cain – People of Goda,” blends stoner and doom metal with passages into black metal, and was released as a single in 2020 on Bandcamp and Spotify. The project is dedicated to exploring the sonic diversity of heavy metal across its heavier sub-genres.
Celestial Oblivion is an atmospheric/ambient black metal band formed in São Paulo, Brazil in 2012.

Their sound draws on cosmic and cosmological themes, blending ambient textures with black metal aggression.
Cement Rain was a thrash metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2009.

The group later split up and had released music available on SoundCloud and Spotify.
Cemitério is a death/thrash metal project from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2014 by multi-instrumentalist Hugo Golon. The band's self-titled debut album, recorded at RH Studios and released in 2014, draws heavily on classic horror films of the 1970s and 1980s for its lyrical themes, taking influence from early death metal acts such as Possessed, Death, and Pestilence, as well as Brazilian legends Sepultura, Mutilator, and Vulcano. The project is released through Kill Again Records.
Cenagal is a thrash metal band from Quilpué whose debut demo, released in August 2018 through Valparaíso distro Los Restos Dela Esfera, announced a sound shaped by classic extreme thrash forebears including early Sepultura, Slayer, Kreator, Pestilence, and Sodom. Their self-described "dirty and streetwise" approach grounds the band firmly in the street-level thrash tradition of the Chilean underground.
