M67 is a groove metal and hardcore band from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, founded in 2017 by Naveca Ogro and Gabriel Alladoh and named after the M67 fragmentation grenade. The band draws on Amazonian folklore for lyrical content, explored in their EP "Agouros Amazônicos," which features tracks themed around legends of the Brazilian Amazon including the single "Mapinguari Algoz" (2020).
Magrudergrind formed in Washington, DC in September 2002, building a relentless noise-core and grindcore attack from their early primitive demo phase through increasingly refined recordings. The band released a self-titled album on Willowtip Records in 2009 and followed it with II (2016) on Relapse Records, recorded with producer Kurt Ballou at Godcity Studio, which incorporated sharper thrash riffing alongside their characteristic blast-beat brutality. Now based in Brooklyn, the band has remained active through consistent lineup changes over more than two decades.
Malinche is a thrash and hardcore crossover band from Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina, featuring vocalist José "El Ruso" Argento, guitarist Miguel Heltner, bassist Gabriel Blanco, and drummer Manuel Larrea. The band released their debut album Nuevo Orden Vol.1 in 2016, preceded by the single "El Demoledor" as an advance track, and have contributed material to the Paraná Bandas regional compilation platform.

Founded by drummer Marcelo Kruszynski in the Paraíba Valley, Manger Cadavre? have spent over fifteen years applying crust, grind, and hardcore fury to pointed critiques of systemic failure, logging more than 340 shows across Brazil, South America, and Europe along the way. Their 2021 album 'Decomposição' pushed further into death crust territory, while 'Como Nascem Os Monstros' (2025) continued that evolution with the current lineup of Nata de Lima on vocals, Paulo Alexandre on guitar, and Bruno Henrique on bass.
Mass Worship formed in Stockholm, Sweden in January 2018, combining Swedish death metal's characteristic HM-2-inflected ferocity with post-punk atmosphere and progressive structural ambitions. The band released their self-titled debut on Century Media Records, followed by Spiritual Destitution, the latter recorded at the legendary Sunlight Studio with producer Tomas Skogsberg, the engineer responsible for defining the classic Stockholm death metal sound. Their willingness to bring bleaker, more introspective elements into a death metal context connects them to contemporaries like Grave and Dismember while marking their own distinct direction.
Formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1990, Merauder are a pioneering metalcore act that fused hardcore punk with heavy metal influences drawn from the Cro-Mags and Leeway. Their debut album Master Killer (1995) on Century Media Records became a cornerstone of the genre, followed by Five Deadly Venoms (1999) and Bluetality (2003). The band has remained intermittently active, releasing God Is I in 2009 via Regain Records.
Founded by Angelo Torquetto following his departure from Desertor, Messianic Cry fuse death metal brutality with hardcore vocal intensity and a Christian lyrical perspective. Their 2012 debut 'Freedom for Those Who Weep' — released through Silent Music Records — delivers ten tracks that draw equally from thrash, death metal, and hardcore while addressing themes of human struggle and faith.
Minoría Activa is a crossover thrash and hardcore band from Buenos Aires that emerged in 1991 as part of the influential Buenos Aires Hardcore (BxAxHxC) independent movement, with vocalist Esteban "Moncho" Seijo anchoring the band throughout its run. Their discography spans albums including Principio del Fin (2000), Donde Nadie Pertenece (2010), and Híper Mega Mosh (2019), the last recorded at Estudio Monsterland with numerous guest contributors.
