Founded by the vocalist of Ocultan, Necrocosm channels the cold, primitive sound of early 1990s black metal through raw riffs and diseased vocals. Their album "Infinite Darkness," released in 2019, is the project's most widely circulated release, picked up by distributors and labels across Europe and Latin America.
Necrocracia is a grindcore band from Lima, Peru that formed in 2017 and channels anti-fascist politics and existentialist themes into blasts of extreme music. The band has appeared on international grindcore compilations and released a string of splits and demo recordings between 2017 and 2021, including the split with Global Horror.
Formed in 1998 in Minas Gerais, Necrocult deliberately stayed out of the commercial underground, releasing a string of cassette and CD-R demos between 1999 and 2001 — including "Sadistic Armageddon" and "Spiritual Rape" — through the local Godless Records imprint. Decades later the band resurfaced with "For Thine Is The Kingdom, And The Power, And The Glory" (2015), released jointly by Satanath Records and Ira Militias Productions.
Necrodead was a death/thrash metal band from Santiago, Chile, active from 1989 until their split in 2010. The band recorded their debut full-length Frustrated Message in mid-1994 at El Rancho Studios, collecting material written across the band's first five years, and returned over a decade later with the thrash-leaning Path to Death in 2007 on Stigma Records. Their lineup across that run included Michel Garrido on vocals and guitar alongside Javier Torres on drums, Richard Ayala on guitar, and Cristian Kohl on bass.
Rooted in the Santos metal underground, Necrodulia plays old-school black/death metal in the vein of Blasphemy, Mystifier, and Beherit. The band features a tight-knit lineup including guitarist Ailton "Tita" Silva, drummer Ezequiel Fidalgo, bassist Ludmilla Carvalho, and vocalist Rodrigo Silva, drawing from the Baixada Santista scene's long extreme metal tradition.
Necrofactor is a death/thrash metal band from Chile playing a groove-driven style they describe as groove thrash. The band released the full-length Ciclo de Destrucción in November 2016, an eleven-track independent album with Spanish-language lyrics exploring themes of destruction, illness, and political defiance. The record is distributed digitally on major platforms and was stocked physically through Chilean metal label Australis Records.
Necrofag is a Black/Thrash Metal band from La Calera, Cundinamarca, Colombia, formed in 2013. The band released their debut full-length "Blood Upon Us" in 2020, following it with the "Pentagram Attack" EP on Hellforced, with lyrical themes exploring warfare, misanthropy, and the violent history of human civilization.
A death metal band from the Rio de Janeiro state that was active from 1989 through 1996, leaving behind demo recordings including "Corta vida" and a live tape captured at Baraonda Shitclub in April 1996. Their sound drew from the same pit of brutality that defined the early Brazilian death metal underground.
Founded in 1994, Necrofobia are among the most enduring thrash metal acts to emerge from São Paulo state's interior, drawing on the crunch of Sepultura and Slayer without ever losing their own identity. Their debut full-length "Dead Soul" arrived in 2004 after a decade of grinding development, and they returned 15 years later with "Membership" (2019), which included the tribute track "Guzzardi" honoring their late guitarist Raphael Guzzardi.
