Pabllo Vittar with Guns is a blasting extreme metal project that collides black metal, death metal, and grindcore into an unapologetically confrontational package, flying the flag for LGBTQIA+ representation in the heaviest corners of the underground. Their 2023 debut EP announced them with six tracks of ferocious, deliberately lo-fi noise and a title that leaves no ambiguity about who they're playing for.

Pachamama is a heavy and speed metal band from Venado Tuerto, a mid-sized city in the southern Santa Fe province that sits at the intersection of Argentina's agricultural heartland and its underappreciated provincial metal scene. Named after the Andean earth goddess central to indigenous cosmology across South America, the band brings a sense of regional identity to their music — speed metal rooted in the classic Argentine tradition, where the influence of V8's foundational 'Luchando Por el Metal' (1981) still casts a long shadow over anyone picking up a guitar in the country. Venado Tuerto itself has a small but persistent metal community, with connections to the broader Santa Fe scene centered in Rosario, and labels like Herrecords operating out of the city to support heavy, thrash, black, and death metal releases across the region. Pachamama formed in 2017 and align with the resurgence of classic heavy metal values that has characterized much of Argentina's underground in the 2010s and 2020s — a reaction against the dominance of extreme metal subgenres and a return to the primal energy of speed and traditional heavy metal. Their speed metal approach favors tightly wound riffs, aggressive tempos, and the kind of visceral forward momentum that distinguishes the style from its more polished power metal cousin. As a band from Argentina's interior, they carry the DIY ethos common to provincial metal acts who build their following show by show across the country's vast distances.

Pacta Corvina are a blackened death and doom metal trio whose music fuses crushing heaviness with explicitly antifascist politics, weaving lyrics in both Portuguese and English across their releases. They debuted with a self-titled EP in late 2022 and followed it with the full-length Ignis et Sulphur, which sharpened their attack into a dense, riff-heavy record with an underground occult atmosphere.

Pacto de Mutilación is a blackened death metal band from Manta, Ecuador, founded in 2017 by José Rodríguez and currently signed to Entocomophobic Records. The band channels anti-Christian and occult themes through a savage blend of black and death metal, releasing material including the demos Culto Tribal and Lamashtu, followed by the 2021 EP Lamashtu II and the full-length Sanguinaria Misantropía. Their sound reflects the ferocious underground metal scene that has emerged along Ecuador's coast.

Pactum have spent the better part of three decades building one of the more prolific back catalogues in Brazilian black metal, with a sound anchored in Satanic themes, raw production values, and a devotion to the grimmer end of the second-wave tradition. Their discography spans titles such as Nigredo, Haeresis, and the more recent Rex Infernus, consistently holding to a philosophy of darkness and blasphemy without concession to trends.

Pagan Spirits is a raw black metal act out of the small northeastern city of Macaparana, Pernambuco, drawing on pagan themes with an underground ethos cultivated through releases on Suicide Apology Records. Their 2014 recording "Bajo el manto sagrado de la noche" captures a primitive, atmosphere-first approach rooted in second-wave black metal tradition.

Pagan Throne fuses pagan black metal aggression with epic power metal sweep, centering their lyrics on ancient civilizations, mythology, and battles across a catalog that includes "Swords of Blood" (2015) and "Land of the Greeks" (2023). The band carries a lineage stretching back to the late 1990s under an earlier name, giving their sound a well-honed sense of bombast and conviction.

Pagan Winter was a short-lived black metal project from Fortaleza that released "A Cold Wind Blows" in 2020, a two-track recording that blends raw black metal with dungeon synth and ambient textures. The band split up not long after, leaving behind a spare but atmospheric document of their brief existence.

Paganos are a thrash metal band from Buenos Aires whose debut album Infierno Real was recorded between June 2006 and March 2007 at Kirkincho Records in Morón. Their second album Nos Vemos en el Infierno followed in 2010 via Pacheco Records, and the band appeared on tribute compilations honoring Argentine heavyweights Hermética (2002) and V8 (2008).
