Brasília, BR · 2017–present · active
A death metal and grindcore band from Brasília formed in 2017, operating in the tradition of Brazilian extreme metal with the short, brutal blasts characteristic of the grind style.

São Paulo, BR · 2020–present · active
A melodic heavy metal and hard rock band from São Paulo, active since 2020 and distinct from the older São Paulo band of the same name. Drawing from the melodic heavy metal tradition with an emphasis on hooky riffing and hard rock energy, the band operates in the city's long-established metal underground.
Rio de Janeiro, BR · 2022–present · active
A Rio de Janeiro outfit formed in 2022 that blends crushing doom and sludge metal with atmospheric black metal textures, releasing material including the demo "Oblivion" and the album "Luz No Fim Do Túnel." The band takes its name from the video game Outer Wilds, reflecting an exploratory aesthetic built on slow, heavy riffs and bleak atmosphere.
Barão Geraldo, BR · 1994–? · disbanded

Carapicuíba, BR · 2020–present · split-up

Guarulhos, BR · 2017–present · active
A death metal trio from Guarulhos, São Paulo, consisting of Ronaldo on vocals and bass, Thiago on guitar, and Denis on drums. Their 2017 debut album "Hopeless" — recorded at Kadence Studio in Guarulhos — delivers seven tracks of aggressive extreme metal built around anti-religious themes, drawing from both death and black metal in the brutal São Paulo tradition.
Porto Alegre, BR · 2016–present · active
A progressive metal band from Porto Alegre led by vocalist and guitarist Cezar Tortorelli, blending djent-influenced riffing with orchestral arrangements and narrative concept albums. Their 2020 EP "Martyr Part I: Ignite" follows a four-song dystopian story of rebellion against an oppressive society, featuring guest vocalists and production spread across multiple studios in southern Brazil.
Belo Horizonte, BR · 2013–present · active
A one-person depressive black metal project from Belo Horizonte, with all instruments, vocals, mixing, and composition handled by O.L. (Omar Lobato).
