Bad Taste is a death/thrash metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2017.

The band remains active as an independent act.

Badtrip Surfdeath is an instrumental power trio from São Paulo, Brazil, active since 2008 and coined the term 'surfdeath' to describe their collision of hardcore, grind blasts, black metal riffs, and psychedelic textures. The trio of Rodrigo Chã (guitar), Manéu Junqueira (bass), and Marcus Dentão (drums) released their self-titled debut in 2011 followed by Badtrip Surfdeath II in 2013, both recorded in São Paulo. Their entirely wordless approach lets the genre-blurring density of the music speak for itself.
Pittsburgh thrash metal band driven by apocalyptic and fear-soaked themes, active from 2001 on B-Headed Records and appearing on the 2003 Milwaukee Metal Fest Compilation via Nightfall Records.
