Mortuário A.D. channels the raw, bestial energy of early Brazilian extreme metal through a death/thrash lens, citing Sepultura, Sarcófago, Mutilator, Vulcano, Obituary, and Hellhammer as touchstones. Their second release, "Die in Pain," dropped on Halloween 2024 and captures the horror-soaked ferocity the band has built its identity around.

Mortyr is a thrash/speed metal act from Sandviken in Gävleborg, active since 2010. The band delivers razor-sharp thrash from the steel town of central Sweden.
Mortífera from Campina Grande holds a notable place in Brazilian metal history as one of the country's earliest all-female death metal bands, active from the late 1980s into the early 1990s and documented on Metal Archives with a 1989 rehearsal demo. Their brief existence in the northeast underground left a mark as a rare example of women fronting the uncompromising heaviness of early death metal in Brazil.
