Mormoth is a one-person raw black metal and dungeon synth project from Neiva, Colombia, founded in 2023. The project operates under the Blackflame Records label and has been prolific since its formation, releasing multiple full-lengths including Anticristo and El Bajo Astral alongside the Imperium Satanae EP, all within its first two years. Lyrically the project explores Satanism, paganism, and anti-Christian themes.
Morning Dead is a death doom solo project from Río Bueno, southern Chile, driven entirely by multi-instrumentalist Sebastian Ocampo. The project released its debut full-length, Desde el Otro Lado, in 2023.
A one-man project helmed by Matheus Leonel, previously of Midnight Loss, Morphin merges the languishing weight of funeral doom with melodic death metal's emotional melodicism. The project inhabits a space between isolation and fragile beauty, shaped entirely by Leonel's solo compositional vision.
Morri fuses blackened thrash with the abrasive energy of crust punk, drawing on the raw aggression shared between those worlds. Their 2019 EP "Não Existe Vida," recorded at LF Studio in Realengo, announced a band with no interest in polish — just velocity, hostility, and grime.
Morrighon is a metal band from Paramaribo, Suriname, playing a blend of speed metal and melodic death metal with industrial and thrash influences. The five-piece group released their debut album Silence of Creatures in 2015, recorded and mastered at Rockland Studio in Paramaribo, making them one of the few metal acts to emerge from Suriname.
Led by guitarist and vocalist Fabrício Moraes, a veteran of the Brasília metal scene through his work in Dark Avenger and several other local acts, Mortaes debuted in 2007 with the album "Obsessive Visions" on Die Hard Records. The band blends death and black metal with neoclassical guitar flourishes, and the debut featured guest contributions from members of Dr. Sin, Khallice, and Miasthenia.
Originally founded as Morticínio in 1998, Mortage play a brand of speed and thrash metal that follows the aggressive European template — early Kreator is a clear touchstone — with fast riffing built for relentless headbanging. The band has appeared on international splits, including a vinyl release alongside Californian thrash veterans Hirax.
A one-man cosmic death metal project by Paulo Pinheiro Fornazza, known for his work in Fossilization and Jupiterian, Mortal Embodiment channels abyssal, end-of-universe horror through pummeling riffs indebted to Morbid Angel, Dismember, and Disembowelment. The debut release "Unbounded Emptiness" dropped in April 2023 and was distributed through multiple underground labels including Transylvanian Recordings, Nuclear Winter Records, and FDA Records.
A death metal act rooted in the brutal sound of the '90s Brazilian scene, Mortal Eyes delivered the demo "Extreme Visions" in 2005, a five-track effort blending crushing heaviness with traces of thrash aggression. Tracks like "Mirror of Darkness" and "Angel Burner" reflect a straightforward, unpolished approach to old-school death metal.
