Rio Grande do Sul, BR · 2025–present · active
Agadzagadza is a bestial black/death metal duo from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2025. Their debut album "Ululo Das Almas Trucidadas" (2025) delivers nine short, brutally abrasive tracks built on chaotic distortion, harsh guttural vocals, and deliberately lo-fi production in the tradition of South American bestial black metal. The band's name draws from a trickster figure in Bura mythology, while their lyrics deal in transgressive anti-religious and apocalyptic imagery.
João Monlevade, BR · 2025–present · active
Again in Hell is a death/groove metal trio from João Monlevade, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed with the stated mission of delivering brutal death metal in its purest form. The band — comprising Wally Roots on bass and vocals, Samuel Brad on guitar, and Marcos Vinicius on drums — has released three albums: "Falso Profeta," "Espírito de Porco," and "Maldade Genuína." Their sound combines the grinding aggression of Brazilian death metal with groove-driven rhythmic punch.
Recife, BR · 2010–? · disbanded
Against Death was a black/death metal band from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, active from 2010 until their split-up.

BR · 2017–present · active
Against Humanity is a Brazilian atmospheric black metal project formed in 2017, crafting music described as bleak, depressive, and hateful in atmosphere. Their album "Lost" — recorded in 2011 and released in 2013 under an earlier incarnation — features tracks exploring wounds, inner voices, and existential burden, rooted in the misanthropic tradition of depressive black metal. The project sits within Brazil's sprawling underground extreme metal scene, channeling cold ambience and desolate riffing.

Rio de Janeiro, BR · 2020–present · active
Agape is a black/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2020.

Chiguayante, CL · active
Agares was a black metal band from Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazán, Honduras, active from 2006 to 2007.

Their material centers on themes of chaos and misotheism.
Belo Horizonte, BR · 2014–present · active
Agaurez is a black metal band from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, originally formed in 1998 and reconstituted in 2013 after a lengthy hiatus. Their debut "Un-Virtue-Vitae" (2002) on Demise Records represented traditional keyboard-driven black metal, but their second album "The Five Sigils" — released on the prestigious Brazilian label Cogumelo Records — marked a heavier evolution incorporating death and thrash metal elements. Thematically rooted in rational anti-Christian ideology, Nietzsche, and occultism, the band is one of Belo Horizonte's more enduring extreme metal acts.
São Paulo, BR · 2022–? · disbanded
Agdron was a death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active from 2022 until their split-up. During their brief existence they released three recordings — "Embrace the Unmaking," "Manifest the Veiled," and "Acknowledge the Cult" — each title suggesting a conceptually cohesive occult or cosmic death metal approach. The band maintained a presence under the Instagram handle @cultofagdron, underscoring the ritualistic angle of their project.
