Kizin is a progressive death metal project from Temuco, Chile, founded by multi-instrumentalist Luis Peña Otto, who draws on the philosophies of Nietzsche and Schopenhauer to craft conceptual albums with long-form tracks and technically demanding riffs. Their debut Abstraction (2018) was described by No Clean Singing as a "progressive death metal fireworks display," and their follow-up Existentialism (2021) — recorded across Temuco and Leipzig — continued the project's thematic arc through six tracks organized into three narrative chapters.
Kocytus is a progressive death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, whose name is drawn from Dante's Divine Comedy — specifically the frozen ninth circle of Hell. The band released their self-titled debut full-length on October 31, 2024, a 59-minute independent record featuring nine tracks that blend technical death metal with progressive structures. The album's thematic scope spans cosmic horror, heresy, and Dantean imagery.
Krig is a progressive death metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed in 2007 and active across multiple stints since then. The band has released albums including Christ Is Public Enemy #1 and the compilations 7 Years of Brutality and the subsequent 17 Years of Brutality series (Volumes I–III), with the latter two volumes arriving in late 2024. Their music addresses spiritual, political, and societal themes within a technically demanding progressive death framework.
