Possuído pelo Cão (PxPxCx) is a crossover thrash supergroup assembled from members of VIOLATOR, D.F.C., and Terror Revolucionário, dedicated to reviving the circle-pit mayhem of 1980s hardcore-thrash hybrids. Their 2008 debut Possessed in the Circle Pit — just over twenty minutes of anti-religious sarcasm, Hardcore energy, and Thrash riffing — also features a cover of Attitude Adjustment's "Grey World" and remains a beloved slab of Brazilian underground crossover.
Thrash/death metal band from Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina, founded by guitarist Alejandro Ferrando, vocalist Adrián Flores, bassist Cristian Felici, and drummer Mario Gogniat. The band released the album Cancer of Corruption in 1995 as an independent cassette release, featuring eight tracks including 'World Without Mercy' and 'The Dark Side of Your Mind'. The band has since split up.
Originally operating as Postmortem since 2004, this quartet from Pelotas rebranded to Postmortem Inc to avoid confusion with a German band of the same name, with the core lineup of Bruno Añaña (vocals/guitar), Douglas Veiga (drums), Mou Machado (guitar), and Juliano Pacheco (bass) having solidified around 2010. Their sound alternates between brutal, technical, and rhythmic death metal riffing, with lyrics drawing on philosophy, social violence, and the horrors of war. They released the Latin-titled EP "Atra Mors" through Rapture Records in 2013 before issuing their full-length debut "The Conqueror Worm" in 2020, a record conceptually rooted in Edgar Allan Poe's poem of the same name.
