Against Death was a black/death metal band from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, active from 2010 until their split-up. Operating out of the Northeastern Brazilian underground scene, the band combined the rawness of South American black metal with death metal brutality. They maintained a Bandcamp presence under the name "Life Against Death For Fucks Sake," reflecting the irreverent spirit common to the region's extreme metal underground.
Agape is a black/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2020. Drawing on themes of the human mind, inner darkness, and resilience, the band merges the slow, crushing weight of doom metal with the cold, abrasive textures of black metal. They are part of Rio de Janeiro's active underground extreme metal scene, operating independently.
Agnetub is a black/thrash metal band from Monterrey, Mexico, formed in 2024. Their debut release Desert Terrors, issued in April 2024, marks the band's entry into the Monterrey underground metal scene with a sound rooted in blackened thrash aggression.
Algoz Profanador is a black/thrash metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, playing in the raw and chaotic tradition of Brazilian black-thrash that traces its roots to acts like Sarcófago and Vulcano. Their 2019 album "Vagando nas Sombras do Caos" is a 10-track assault drawing on occult imagery, nihilism, and philosophical darkness, with track titles like "Before the Abyss" and "Devastation Without Mercy" anchoring their sound in the most aggressive end of the São Paulo underground. The band remains active and independent.
Ankt is a black/doom metal duo from São Paulo, Brazil, whose slow-burning approach fuses the abrasive texture of black metal with the crushing weight of doom. The project released its self-titled debut album in 2017 after a four-year gestation period, comprising eleven tracks that established their murky, oppressive sound.
Anti Human is a Black/Death Metal band that formed in Cali, Colombia in 2009, later relocating to Madrid, Spain. The band released their debut full-length Black Death in 2013, followed by Reflections of the Black Sun in 2021 via StillBorn Twins Records.
A short-lived Brazilian solo project by Lucylove, blending black metal, death metal, grindcore, and noise into what the artist described as "Brazilian deathgrind crust." Their 2022 debut EP "Anti-Fa, Anti-You, Anti-All," released through No Profit, No Money Records, packs ten tracks of nihilistic extremity, with chaotic noise textures and lyrical themes centered on emptiness and anti-authoritarian rage. A second EP, "The Nekrocrust," followed in October 2023 before the project disbanded.
Antikristo is a Black/Speed Metal band from Popayán, Colombia, formed in 2008. The band released several demos and splits before issuing their debut full-length Oscuro portador de luz, dador de visión eterna in 2019, followed by the EP Caos Ecsai in 2020 via Hellhoundz Productions.
Antimonument is an anonymous Brazilian extreme metal collective that emerged in 2021, fusing black metal, death metal, grindcore, hardcore punk, industrial noise, and power electronics into what they describe as a degenerative audio-visual ritual. Their debut album 'Concealment' appeared on CD via Cianeto Discos and cassette via Red Door Records before Sentient Ruin Laboratories issued an expanded vinyl edition with bonus tracks and a new master by Will Killingsworth. Drawing comparisons to Blasphemy, Incantation, Khanate, and Godflesh, the project operates with a deliberately depersonalized, collective identity.
