The band released the LP Welcome to Terreiro in 1995 and has remained active for over three decades, issuing the album Figa of the Dark in 2024.
Gargola is a heavy/power metal band from Virreyes, Buenos Aires, first active from 1995 with themes centred on social denouncement and political injustice.

Gates of Holocaust is a black metal band from João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil, formed in 2015. The band released the six-track album Void on July 28, 2015, featuring material originally recorded in João Pessoa in 2012. Their music operates in a raw, underground black metal vein.

Their sound explores dark, atmospheric doom in the tradition of underground Brazilian doom metal.
Gatica are a thrash/grindcore band from Rosario, Argentina who launched in 2020 with the 15-track debut Matando Chetos (May 2020), followed swiftly by the equally frenetic Barbarie mata galán (March 2021). Both records blend politically charged lyrics with short, high-speed songs in the tradition of extreme crossover grindcore.
Geisterseher is a one-man experimental black metal project from Paraná, Brazil, operating as a side project of Draugur, the sole member of the main band Paarthurnax. The project released the four-track EP "Fragmento Espectral" in April 2020, weaving atmospheric and experimental textures across tracks including "Aldebaran," "Ad Hominem," and "The Void."
General Kroll are a crossover thrash band from Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, formed in 2015. Their seven-track Demo Ensayo 2015 was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Augusto Brasseur at Sala HUM in Rosario and released in June 2015, documenting an early sound built around fast, hardcore-inflected riffs and sardonic song titles.
