São Paulo, BR · 2018–present · active
Amurians is an all-female heavy metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2018. Their name and identity are rooted in the legend of the Icamiabas — an indigenous matriarchal warrior tribe of the Amazon region — and two of the members carry indigenous ancestry through their maternal grandmothers; the band channels this heritage into forceful, traditional heavy metal with a message of female empowerment in the Brazilian underground.
Florianópolis, BR · 2013–? · disbanded

Victoria, CL · 2007–present · active
Anal Carnage is a death/grind band from Victoria, Chile, whose origins trace back to a grindcore project called Necrosis before the band adopted their current name.

São Bernardo do Campo, BR · 2023–present · active
Anama is a progressive and symphonic metal band from São Bernardo do Campo, in the greater São Paulo metropolitan area of Brazil, formed in 2023.

São Paulo, BR · 2024–? · disbanded

Belo Horizonte, BR · 1997–present · split-up
Anarchus is a death/thrash metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, active since the late 1980s in the city's vibrant extreme metal underground. The band recorded demos including "Total Hate" (1988) and "Melody's of Destruction" (1989), and released the compilation "Increasing the Hate" in 1997 marking a decade of activity. Their raw, aggressive style reflects the first wave of Brazilian extreme metal emanating from Minas Gerais.
Guarulhos, BR · 2020–present · active
Anarkhon is a death metal band from Guarulhos, São Paulo, founded in 1999, who survived the tragic loss of original vocalist Péricles Hooper to a hit-and-run accident and continued with guitarist Aron Romero — also of black/thrash act Power From Hell — taking over vocal duties. Their early work, including albums "Obesidade Mórbida" (2007) and "Welcome to the Gore Show" (2013), delivered brutal, gore-drenched death metal, before the band evolved toward a more atmospheric and cerebral sound on "Phantasmagorical Personification of the Death Temple" (2020, Debemur Morti Productions), blending cavernous death metal with black metal textures and H.P. Lovecraft-inspired cosmic horror themes.
Palhoça, BR · 2014–? · disbanded
Anartria was a death metal and grindcore band from Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Brazil, part of the underground extreme metal scene of the state's southern coast. The band blended the punishing brevity of grindcore with death metal heaviness, operating as an independent act before splitting up.
