A RABM (Red and Anarchist Black Metal) solo project fusing atmospheric black metal with environmentalist and indigenous rights themes, releasing "Ocaso" and "Apodrecendo a Terra" in 2021 via Subsound Records. The project collaborated with fellow São Paulo act Kaatayra on a split in 2023, with a track drawn from Darcy Ribeiro's 1974 novel, blending politically charged lyricism into its anguished, depressive sound.
Doom and stoner metal band formed to pay tribute to the classic heavy sounds of Pentagram, Cathedral, and Black Sabbath, releasing the debut EP "Here She Comes" in 2015 and first full-length "Bring Out Your Dead" in 2016 via Black Farm Records and Death Time Records. Their 2019 album "Faith Bathed in Blood" — which includes a Sarcófago cover — earned widespread praise from the international doom community and appeared on numerous year-end best-of lists.
Pesten is a black metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, signed to End of Humanity Records. The band contributed two tracks — "Hunter's Moon" and "Those Who Dwell In the Deep Forest" — to the compilation "Hammer of the Austral Will Vol. I" released by Ansuz Records in 2016.
Thrash and death metal band active from 2007 until their split in 2016, recorded under the Terranis Productions label and built their sound around themes of war, death, and apocalyptic destruction. Releases including "Hellish Warfare" and "Corrosive Warfare" placed them within the harder-hitting end of the Brazilian thrash underground.
Primitive black/death metal trio featuring Terrörator, Sodomköllic, and Blassphemer, rooted in blasphemous war metal and occult imagery in the tradition of the South American underground. Their 2020 demo "Sempiternal Martyrdoom" — a ten-track assault of 30 minutes released on Nuclear Winter Records — established them as a ferocious presence in the region's extreme metal circuit.
A raw black metal outfit rooted in occultism and nihilism, Pestis announced themselves with a limited-edition cassette demo in early 2023, pressed to only 64 copies. Their approach draws on the bleak, misanthropic tradition of the genre without concession to accessibility.
Pesto coined the term "culinary grindcore" for their particular strain of brutal death metal and grindcore, built around grotesque gastronomic and cannibal lyrical themes. The trio of Diego Firmo, Diego Andrade, and Marcio Barbosa debuted with an EP that included a music video for the track "Cutting Corpse," establishing a darkly comedic identity within extreme metal.
