Pactum have spent the better part of three decades building one of the more prolific back catalogues in Brazilian black metal, with a sound anchored in Satanic themes, raw production values, and a devotion to the grimmer end of the second-wave tradition. Their discography spans titles such as Nigredo, Haeresis, and the more recent Rex Infernus, consistently holding to a philosophy of darkness and blasphemy without concession to trends.

Pagan Spirits is a raw black metal act out of the small northeastern city of Macaparana, Pernambuco, drawing on pagan themes with an underground ethos cultivated through releases on Suicide Apology Records. Their 2014 recording "Bajo el manto sagrado de la noche" captures a primitive, atmosphere-first approach rooted in second-wave black metal tradition.

Pagan Throne fuses pagan black metal aggression with epic power metal sweep, centering their lyrics on ancient civilizations, mythology, and battles across a catalog that includes "Swords of Blood" (2015) and "Land of the Greeks" (2023). The band carries a lineage stretching back to the late 1990s under an earlier name, giving their sound a well-honed sense of bombast and conviction.

Pagan Winter was a short-lived black metal project from Fortaleza that released "A Cold Wind Blows" in 2020, a two-track recording that blends raw black metal with dungeon synth and ambient textures. The band split up not long after, leaving behind a spare but atmospheric document of their brief existence.

Paganos are a thrash metal band from Buenos Aires whose debut album Infierno Real was recorded between June 2006 and March 2007 at Kirkincho Records in Morón. Their second album Nos Vemos en el Infierno followed in 2010 via Pacheco Records, and the band appeared on tribute compilations honoring Argentine heavyweights Hermética (2002) and V8 (2008).

Pale Grey Sky are a death/thrash metal band from Zárate, Argentina, formed in 2022 with members Nacho Flores (vocals), Facundo Peralta (guitar/vocals), Manuel Flores Taborda (bass), and Lorenzo Piagna (drums). They released their debut album Libres de toda Esperanza in June 2022, recorded and mixed at Nipper Studio in Campana, Argentina.

P.A.N.D.E.M.I.A. is a heavy and power metal band from Buenos Aires with roots stretching back to 1997, making them one of the longer-running acts in Argentina's traditional metal underground. The acronym-based name — a stylistic choice common in Argentine metal bands of that era who wanted to signal both seriousness and a kind of programmatic identity — reflects the band's commitment to a muscular, melodically driven heavy metal sound that draws on European power metal traditions while grounding itself in the distinctly Argentine approach to the genre pioneered by acts like Rata Blanca and Horcas. Buenos Aires has always been the nerve center of Argentine metal, and a band surviving from 1997 into the present has navigated through every shift the local scene has undergone: the economic crises of the early 2000s that devastated the music industry, the gradual recovery of live music venues through the 2010s, and the rise of streaming platforms that opened new avenues for underground bands to reach audiences beyond their immediate geography. Power metal as a form suits the Argentine sensibility particularly well — the genre's emphasis on soaring vocal melodies, technical guitar work, and epic themes maps neatly onto a scene that has always prized musicianship and emotional intensity over pure brutality. P.A.N.D.E.M.I.A. represents the resilient core of Buenos Aires's traditional metal scene: bands that have never chased trends, never broken up for commercial reasons, and continue to exist on the strength of genuine conviction and a loyal regional following.

Pandemic are a brutal death metal band from Puerto Madryn, Chubut, operating in one of Argentina's more isolated regional metal scenes. They released the album Insertion of Thought in 2021, a recording that showcases the relentless low-tuned brutality characteristic of the genre.

Pandemmy occupies the ferocious overlap between thrash and death metal in the tradition of Kreator, Sepultura, and Hypocrisy, building a catalog across three full-lengths: "Reflections & Rebellions" (2013), "Rise of a New Strike" (2016), and "Subversive Need" (2020). The Recife quartet has shared stages with Exodus, Abbath, and Amon Amarth, and their decade-plus of work reflects a band constantly pushing the technical and aggressive ceiling of the genre.
