Imundície is a nihilistic goregrind band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2016. The trio — Junior Purulent, Fabricio Terribile, and Léo Manhães, all veterans of the Brazilian extreme underground — released their debut full-length Kolaps Civilizace on October 31, 2023 through Rotten Foetus Records, recorded across multiple sessions at HurricaneStudio in Porto Alegre. The album's sixteen tracks blend primitive goregrind with noisecore touches.
Malt is a two-piece brutal death metal and goregrind band from Talca, Chile, comprising Larval on guitars and vocals and Myiasis on bass, drums, and guitars. The duo recorded their debut full-length Rehearseled from Beyond at Myiasis's own Miasmatic Myiasis Studio and released the advance single Impaled Souls in late 2025.
Morgue is a goregrind band from Monte Grande, Buenos Aires, whose earliest recordings date to 2000. Their two founding demos — La Legión del Sepulcro (2000) and Instinto Repulsivo (2002) — were later compiled and released on CD as Necro Exhumation, a sixteen-track collection distributed internationally through labels such as Unholy Prophecies and Disembodied Records.
A self-described "old school death metal fleshcult" from Pernambuco whose approach owes a clear debt to the goregrind end of early 1990s extremity — their Repulsion cover signals as much. They debuted with the 2024 demo "Anatomy of the Grotesque" and followed it with the "Frenzied Necrotiscism" EP.
Emerging from the wreckage of Corrosive Nausea, Neuro-Visceral Exhumation spent the early 2000s releasing some of the most unhinged goregrind to come out of Brazil, including Mass Murder Festival (2003) and The Human Society Wants More Gore (2004). The band periodically resurfaced over the years, most recently issuing Thou Shalt Be Slaughtered in 2021 and Gruesome Body Count in 2022 before going quiet again.
Petiot deals in filthy, no-frills goregrind with clear debts to Regurgitate, Carcass, and Flesh Grinder, building a prolific catalogue of releases including the full-length Xipophages and the collaborative split The Art of Surgery with Lipoma (2023). A further split, Morgue Escape, was released alongside Putrefacta, cementing the band's standing in the underground goregrind circuit.
Putrefacta is a goregrind project from Fortaleza, Ceará, formed in 2022 by José Neto, who handles vocals, guitars, and drum programming, with Fabrício Machado on bass. The project released the EP Repulsive Regurgitations in January 2024 and followed with The Decay of Forgotten Lives later that year, then the 14-track album Natimorto on January 16, 2025 through Disturbed Mind Records.
Putritorium is a goregrind band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, formed in 2004 by guitarist Adriano Sabino, who has remained with the band throughout its existence. They released the demo Gory Maggot Gestation in February 2004 and the six-track album Promotorium on July 18, 2005, with releases also distributed through labels including Fecal Matter Discorporated and Morbid Anatomy Productions.
Rancid Flesh is a goregrind band from Fortaleza, Ceará, formed in 2009. Their debut release Festering Gore... Repulsive Stench (2009) was pressed in a limited edition of 100 copies on Bidule Mandibule Records, and their 2012 follow-up Pathological Zombie Carnage — a 25-track album jointly released through Carnificina Records, Cianeto Discos, Terceiro Mundo Chaos Discos, and Rapture Records — was limited to 1,000 CDs.
