Gnose is a thrash/hardcore band from Betim, Minas Gerais, founded in 2021 by guitarist and vocalist Gustavo Ferreira. The band released the EP Anarco Politicismo in 2022 and the full-length Manifesto Periférico in 2024, both addressing themes of state violence, hypocrisy, and societal injustice. Their confrontational approach aligns them with the politically engaged wing of Brazilian crossover hardcore.
Goat Command were a black/thrash metal band from Constitución, Maule, Chile, active from 2010 to 2014 and released through the underground label Headbanging on the Pentagram. The band drew on the violent, chaotic energy typical of South American black/thrash, with lyrical themes centered on blood, violence, and rage.
Goat Emperor is a black metal band from Rio de Janeiro, originally formed in 1992 and revived around 2015, centred on the duo of Cesar Severus (vocals, guitar, drums) and Cecilia Katrini (bass/keyboards). Their debut recording Apopantos Kakodaimonos was tracked at Pepe's Studio in August 1993 and stands as one of the earliest entries in the Brazilian bestial black metal canon. The band has remained prolific across subsequent decades, with their 2025 album O Anticristo (Maldição ao Cristianismo) mixed and mastered by Severus at Gruta studio in Rio de Janeiro.
Goat Kommander was a death/black metal band from São Paulo, active from 2021 until their split-up. They released two recordings: Bestial Torment (April 2021), a five-track slab of chaotic black/death thrash, and Warfare Dynasty (February 2024). Their themes centred on satanism, blasphemy, and nihilism in the tradition of Brazilian bestial metal.
Goat Lord is a black metal band from Cachoeirinha, Rio Grande do Sul, whose formation date remains undocumented. Their only known recording is the thirteen-track demo In Septem Abruptus Imperations Tenebrae, captured in 1997, which places them within the raw, underground Brazilian black metal scene of that era. The band is independent and has released no material through major labels or distribution channels.
Goat Prayers is a melodic black metal band from Sorocaba, São Paulo, with roots stretching back to 1992 under the name Hell Desecrater before adopting their current name around 1994. After decades in the Brazilian underground — including splits with Dethroned Christ (1997) and Lost Graveyard (2004) — the band released their long-awaited debut full-length Awake in the Mystic Landscape in October 2022 via Hammer of Damnation. Their sound incorporates organs, synths, and flutes alongside black metal aggression, with themes of blasphemy and satanism.
Goat Worship is a one-man black metal project from Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, formed in 2013 by the sole musician known as Hades. The project has released three albums — Blood and Steel (2016), Shore of the Dead (2018), and Breathing a Dark Past (2019) — each drawing on the primitive speed and rawness of early Bathory and Venom. Shore of the Dead in particular earned attention for its crusty, filth-laden take on first-wave black metal aesthetics.
Goatcult is a black metal band from Guarapuava, Paraná, formed in 2014 and signed to My Dark Desires Records. Their debut album Sacrifice for Evil (2017) is a nine-track statement of raw, anti-Christian black metal rooted in the traditions of the Brazilian underground. The band's themes revolve squarely around Satanism and the rejection of Christianity.
Goaten is a traditional heavy metal band from the Vale do Sinos region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2019 by guitarist Daniel Limas, bassist and vocalist Francis Lima, and drummer Rafael DrinkWine. Drawing from 1980s influences such as Judas Priest and King Diamond, the trio released their debut EP "The Following" in 2020 and followed it with the full-length "Midnight Conjuring" in November 2023 through Cianeto Discos.
