Massacre em Alphaville are a crust and sludge metal band from São Paulo who have been grinding out politically and environmentally charged material since the early 2000s. Their 2009 mini-CD Vacilou na Quebrada, Dorme na Vala and the 2015 full-length Estilhaços de Ilusão showcase a raw, communal approach built around multiple vocalists and a thick, feedback-drenched sound rooted in the city's underground hardcore scene.

Wärcharge is a Brazilian raw black metal, crust, and grindcore outfit formed in 2012, combining the primitive brutality of war metal with the short-burst intensity of grindcore and the anarchic energy of crust punk.
