M1 Garand is a Brazilian raw black metal solo project formed in 2022, with all instruments, vocals, mixing, and mastering handled by a member operating under the alias Soldier 'Charles' of 101st Airborne Division. The project carries an explicit anti-Nazi and anti-NSBM stance, reflected in its debut EP "The Party is Over Kraut" (2022), which blends World War II themes with sardonic humor directed at fascist ideology.
M26 is an atmospheric doom/death metal band from Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2021. The band incorporates female vocals into their heavy, melancholic sound, and released their debut album "Misantropia" in February 2021 through Bandcamp.
M60 is the North Carolina street-punk entry connected to the M-60 spelling, not the Manchester indie band using the same name without a hyphen. The group plays fast, direct, hook-forward punk built around short melodic runs, rough-edged guitars, and a bar-band urgency that fits the coastal dive setting attached to its identity. Its 2023 release Head Up High puts the emphasis on anthemic choruses and simple, driving arrangements rather than studio gloss, with songs such as "New World Order," "Life Over the Edge," and "Old Town Tuffs" leaning into working-class, street-level punk themes and a raw live feel. The band's sound sits between garage punk and power punk, favoring momentum and chant-ready refrains over technical complexity. The available material points to a compact trio format and a local-first presence, with the music framed around energy, hooks, and a street-punk show atmosphere rather than a polished mainstream rock presentation.
M60 in Hands is a raw black metal and noise solo project from Catanduva, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2023 and operated entirely by Billy Grind, who handles all instruments and vocals. The project released the EP "Infinity War in My Head" in 2023 and appeared on the 2024 split "Old Skull Black Metal" alongside Night Goat on Podreira Records, paying tribute to first-wave black metal acts Von and Root.
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).
M:D:A is a melodic death/thrash metal band from the Bünde/Bielefeld area of Germany, formed in 2020. Their sound merges the harmonic sophistication of melodic death metal with the aggressive urgency of thrash, emerging from the North Rhine-Westphalia underground.
