Mustaphorius play the kind of no-frills crossover thrash that worships at the altar of hardcore punk and late-1980s speed metal, with an irreverent streak that runs through their track titles and stagecraft. The band put out the EP "Bebidas e Mosh" in 2015 and returned in 2023 with their full-length "Homem Horrível", cementing their place in Curitiba's underground extreme scene.
Mutilagia is a five-piece slamming brutal death metal band from southern Argentina whose lineup includes Marcos Corbalan on vocals, Sergio Romero and Ignacio Sanabria on guitars, Nicolás Guaquin on bass, and Angel Levin on drums. Their debut album "Non-Human Atrocities" was recorded at Ataraxia Studio in Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego and released in September 2022, with a follow-up single featuring guest vocalist Matthias Joyce (Rottenness) arriving in 2026.
Mutilated Christ is a Symphonic Black Metal band from Ambato, Tungurahua, Ecuador, founded in June 1994 by guitarist William "Morbo" Mutilator. One of Ecuador's earliest extreme metal acts, the band built an early following with limited-run demos including "Blood of Bastard" (1996), which sold out its initial 66-copy cassette run and was later re-pressed to 500 copies. They remain active and release through Profane Elite, with themes centered on anti-Christianity and satanism.
A two-member war machine built around Aubert Mutilator on vocals and programming and Iscariot Destructor on guitars and bass, Mutilação Anticristã traffics in raw, lo-fi black/death metal with an uncompromising anti-Christian and satanic worldview. The duo released "Metal Negro Anticristo" in 2012 and followed it with the even more abrasive "Noite de Sexo Bestial e Profano" in 2014, both recorded in the Sergipe underground without concession to polish or accessibility.
My Dearest Wound is a solo depressive/post-black metal project from Santiago, created by Sergio González Catalán, who also runs the doom projects Rise to the Sky and Winds of Tragedy. The project debuted with The Burial, released in 2023 through US label Tragedy Productions, followed by The Weight of Life Was Greater in 2024. The music confronts themes of childhood trauma, suicide, and self-harm, drawing on González Catalán's stated aim to express melancholy and inner rage without abstraction.
My Fallen Garden have carved out a space in the northeastern doom underground with a sound built on slow, mournful tempos and an epic, mystic lyrical outlook. Originally active in the early 2000s — appearing on the 2006 compilation "Suspiria de Profundis II" with the track "Images of the Inevitable" — the band returned to activity in 2017 and have continued operating as an independent outfit.
A three-piece funeral doom outfit recorded at GoreZone Studios in Belém, My Funeral Dream released the EP A Beleza De Um Funeral and the album Introspectivo in early 2017, both sung in Portuguese. Their sound leans heavily on suffocating tempos and cavernous vocals, placing them firmly in the tradition of European funeral doom while maintaining a distinctly raw, underground Brazilian aesthetic.
My Immortal Beloved has cultivated a steady independent discography since their debut Inferno Sensual in 2012, continuing through Estrada em Chamas (2016) and No Silencio do Lago (2019). Their black metal leans toward the atmospheric end of the spectrum, with a raw production aesthetic that keeps them squarely in the underground.
Myrkgand is essentially a one-man project driven by Dmitry Luna, whose 2017 debut album enlisted guest appearances from members of Symphony X, Novembers Doom, Mystifier, and Korzus to flesh out its mythology-drenched blend of melodic death, black, and folk metal. The 2022 follow-up Rituals & Wisdom was recorded in Oslo and Lisbon with Øystein Brun of Borknagar producing, pushing the project's ambitions into genuinely international territory.
