Maldição is a metal-punk outfit steeped in the traditions of Motörhead, Venom, and Hellhammer, wielding abrasive riffs alongside pointedly anti-fascist, anti-capitalist lyrics. Releases like "Metal Punk Antinazi Demo" and "A Voz do Mal" cement their position at the crossroads of black metal rawness and punk confrontation.

Rooted in the fertile death metal underground of Porto Alegre, Malediction formed in the early 1990s when that city's scene was producing some of the continent's most intense extreme metal. Their output reflects the old-school brutality and direct aggression that defined Brazilian death metal in that era before the band eventually dissolved.

A long-running death-black metal force from the São Paulo underground, Malediction 666 draws heavily from the Greek black metal tradition — the 2019 album "We, Demons" even features guest appearances from Necroabyssious of Varathron and Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ. The project is largely driven by a single individual, resulting in a focused and consistent sound shaped by decades of devotion to the dark arts.

Maleficarum brings a psychedelic sensibility to black metal from the scorched northeast of the country, threading hallucinatory textures through an otherwise bleak and hostile framework. Their 2021 release "Blocksberg Selecta" serves as an entry point into their occult-influenced sound, which sits at the intersection of ceremonial atmosphere and raw black metal abrasion.

Maleficio was a heavy/thrash metal band from San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca, Argentina, with a self-titled demo tape among their documented releases and a confirmed album entry "Go to Hell" listed on the Metal Archives. The band centred their lyrical themes on social denouncement and has since split up.

A fresh entry into the Brazilian raw black metal underground, Malefício operates in the harshest and most primitive end of the genre spectrum, embracing lo-fi production as an aesthetic weapon rather than a limitation. The project launched in 2024 and channels a relentless hatred through minimalist, corrosive songwriting.

Males Fecundos was a Brasília grindcore outfit with members drawn from other local extreme metal projects, channeling social fury and disgust with human mediocrity through blunt, fast-as-possible attacks in the tradition of Napalm Death and Agathocles. Their short run produced a debut EP before the band dissolved.

Malevolence was a São Paulo thrash metal band that carried the torch of the classic Brazilian style with aggressive riffing and a no-frills attitude toward speed and aggression. Active through the mid-2010s, the band was part of a new generation revisiting the raw thrash fundamentals that first put the city on the extreme metal map.

Malevolente is a one-man extreme metal project from Bogotá, Colombia, founded in 2021. Operating as an independent solo effort, the project draws on a wide range of metal subgenres with the goal of crafting a distinctive musical identity, releasing a series of Spanish-language singles and EPs including the seven-deadly-sins-themed Mater series and the 2026 release Anhelo.
