Formed in Santos with a founding lineup of Marcus Vinicius on vocals, Fausto Pietro on drums, and Vinicius Guedes on guitar, Metallstein draw on old-school death metal, speed/thrash, and grindcore for a raw and uncompromising sound. The band released their self-titled debut single containing six tracks in early 2023 and have since appeared on the 'Workingclass In Roll – Brazilian Compilation' with the track 'Sonho Súbito'.
A one-person old-school death/black metal project helmed by Terror Holocausto, who handles all instruments and vocals drawing from 90s North American and Brazilian extremity. The debut EP "Before Coffins, Hells and Nightmares" (2021), released through Cianeto Discos, was recorded at Terror Holocausto's own home studio in Bahia and captures a raw, cavernous sound rooted firmly in the early death/black tradition.
A death metal act from Stockholm, Minatory formed in 2024. The band delivers threatening, aggressive death metal from the Swedish capital.
Denver's Misanthropy arrived in 2024 with a coldly hostile black metal vision rooted in harsh tremolo riffing and a deeply atmospheric sense of negation, adding to Colorado's quietly fertile black metal underground.
Monasterium is an epic doom metal act from Kraków, active since 2016. The band delivers monastic, Candlemass-influenced doom with soaring vocals and crushing riffs from Poland's cultural capital, earning recognition as one of the country's finest doom acts.
Moonlight Scream began in 2012 playing death/black metal with themes of love and sorrow before pivoting toward an atmospheric, largely instrumental post-black metal sound in their later years. After a hiatus, the project resurfaced and eventually evolved into new incarnations — Ócio and then Passional — reflecting a continuous drift away from aggression and toward texture and mood.
Morbid Butcher is a death metal and grindcore band from Finsterwalde, Germany, formed in 1998, navigating numerous lineup changes across two decades of underground extremity. Their debut Extreme Mischmasch Terror captures their raw, chaotic blend of death, grind, and punk.
Morbid Devourment are a death/thrash trio from Brasília who consciously root their sound in the primitive filth of early-80s metal, citing Venom, Hellhammer, and Bulldozer as touchstones. Their 2025 debut EP Deathstrike Rebellion packs nine songs into eighteen minutes of raw, occult-themed extremity, following earlier singles that established the band's violent aesthetic.
Mordrom is a continuation of Crux Cullum, a band that ran from 2007 to 2016 before being resurrected under this name in 2024. The project blends death metal with thrash and black metal undercurrents, channeling themes of occultism, misanthropy, and anti-religion, with the album "Walking to Bloody Death" representing their current direction.
