Koma is a death/black metal and grindcore band from São Paulo, Brazil, operating under an explicitly antifascist, anarchist, and communist ethos. The band released their debut EP "Sinfonia da Desgraça," which blends grindcore, deathgrind, black metal, and sludge metal influences.

Koriza is a thrash/death metal band from Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil, with a listing on the Encyclopaedia Metallum that includes the demo "Defluxo" among their early releases.

They have maintained an active Spotify presence alongside their long-running career.
Korsakov is a crossover/thrash metal band from Alumínio, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2011 and active in the Brazilian underground scene.

Their sound sits firmly in the beer-soaked, pit-ready tradition of Brazilian crossover.

Their 2023 full-length Chapter II — World's Duality stands as their most developed release, recorded across multiple studios and featuring twelve tracks of aggressive, riff-driven thrash.

Their lineup expanded to include bass, keys, and drums to realise an ambitious fusion of metal and Brazilian progressive music.
Kraftvøid is a São Paulo-based instrumental stoner/doom metal project founded by Gustavo Lima in March 2020.

Operating without a Spotify presence, the project distributes its music independently through Bandcamp.
