Processo do Ódio emerged from the Grajaú neighbourhood of São Paulo as a politically charged grindcore outfit drawing on Napalm Death, Nasum, and Ratos de Porão. The band's debut album "Perto do Fim" arrived in early 2011, channelling aggression into pointed commentary on religion, political hypocrisy, and social anxiety.
Profanatic Lust is a two-piece black metal act with members drawn from bands including Hellishkiller and Mørtvs, channelling satanic and left-hand-path doctrine into raw, uncompromising material. Their 2022 debut EP "The Cvlt Ov the Old Ones" was released on cassette and CD, establishing a sound rooted in orthodox blasphemy and ritual atmosphere.
Profane Anger is a death/black metal trio featuring Rômulo Nekro Daemon on vocals and bass, Paulo Death on guitars, and Reverend Ivan Sabbath on drums, recording out of Natal's Abyss Occults and Black Hole studios. Their 2015 EP "Fall of the Liar" introduced their corrosive approach, followed by the split "Pact with the Devil" in 2019.
Founded and led by vocalist and composer Azi Dahaka, Profane Art executes dense blackened death metal built around Luciferian doctrine and a focus on inner chaos as a catalyst for spiritual transformation. Active since the mid-2010s, the band has released early material including the "Order 666" demo and has been developing their debut full-length.
One of the older names in Brazilian underground black metal, Profane Creation dates back to 1991 and released the demo "Nema" before appearing on a landmark 1996 split with Inquisition on Sylphorium Records. After going dormant for nearly two decades, the band reformed in 2014 and released their debut full-length "Portal do Inferno" in 2015, followed by a split with Abigail in 2017.
Profane Souls have been crafting uncompromising underground black metal since the mid-1990s, logging early demos before returning with the full-length "Unraveling the Mysteries of Darkness" in 2014. Their 2021 album "Ritual de Blasfêmia", released through Black Hearts Records, celebrated 25 years of the band's infernal output and features a lineup including Witchammer on vocals and guitar alongside Joyce Thorns and Lucifery.
Profetika brought technical thrash from the far-northern city of Macapá, channeling tight riffwork and socially charged lyrics about urban violence and inequality. The five-piece released the "Serial Killer" EP in 2010 before eventually dissolving, with some members having planned subsequent projects under a different name.
Profundezas deal in filthy, underground death metal with obscure, philosophically dark lyrical themes. Their 2019 full-length "Seja Feita Vossa Maldade" expanded on the self-titled 2018 debut EP, establishing an uncompromising approach that kept them firmly rooted in the underground São Paulo scene.
Project46 grew out of a Slipknot tribute act called Kroach, with guitarists Jean Patton and Vinicius Castellari steering the band toward original metalcore. Their releases include the full-lengths "Doa a Quem Doer" (2011) and "Que Seja Feita a Nossa Vontade" (2014), and the bilingual album "TR3S" (2017), which earned them spots at major rock and metal festivals across South America.
