Masturbation with the Bible is a brutal death metal and goregrind band from Caracas, Venezuela, active since 2013. They released their debut full-length "Drowned in Holy Vaginal Fluids" in 2018 through Narcoleptica Productions, followed by the compilation track "Good Nuns Gone Dirty" and the 2025 album "Odium," recorded at Masacre Studio.

Masturbator is a death metal band from Franca originally active from 1987 through the mid-1990s, with a 2010 reformation bringing the band back to life.

Mata Borrão emerged from Belo Horizonte's extreme metal underground as a side project of members from Death Dealer and later Putrifocinctor, delivering a chaotic blend of grindcore and death metal with lyrics targeting social inequality, religious fanaticism, and political alienation. Their 2014 album 'Assim Já Dizia Augusto dos Anjos' — recorded at Studio Attack in Belo Horizonte — stands as their defining statement, with the lineup of Igor Gabriel on vocals, Leandro Alves on guitars, Vitor Malta on bass, and Thiago Pena on drums.
A thrash/death metal band from the Madrid suburb of Torrejón de Ardoz, Matadero — Spanish for 'slaughterhouse' — delivers exactly the kind of visceral aggression the name promises. Formed in 2016, they combine Bay Area thrash velocity with death metal heaviness.
