Projeto Pancada is a crossover trio formed by veterans of the Santa Catarina underground, including members of Homem Lixo and Rhestus. Their debut album "Caos Geral" (2021) blends thrash riffs with hardcore aggression and sardonic Portuguese-language lyrics aimed squarely at pandemic-era Brazil.
Projeto Trator is a São Paulo duo grinding out dense, abrasive sludge and doom with dark guitars and hypnotic low-end grooves over a prolific catalog that stretches back to their 2007 debut EP. Albums like "Despacho" (2015) and the EP "Na Órbita do Medo" (2018) cemented their reputation as ambassadors of the Brazilian underground heavy scene, earned through extensive touring across South America and Europe.
Promethean Gate is a one-person black metal project rooted in Luciferian and Draconian occultism, with all instrumentation and vocals handled by Promethean P. Priest. The debut album "Architecture and Concepts of the New God" (2017) set the tone for a catalogue steeped in left-hand path theology, and the project is affiliated with the Ancient Coven collective of São Paulo underground black metal acts.
Prometherion grew from guitarist Vinícius Starteri's earlier project Alkimistal, fusing Swedish melodic death metal, New York hardcore, and Bay Area thrash into a sound the band calls modern death metal. The name is a neology blending Prometheus and Therion, reflecting a lyrical focus on how people endure hardship, and the band has maintained activity through SoundCloud and streaming platforms despite internal lineup turbulence.
Pronoia were a Buenos Aires progressive metal and djent instrumental quartet whose lineup included guitarists Chowy Fernandez and Gabbo Puente, bassist Bruno Tysak Fichera, and drummer Javier Cuello.
