Black Cult is a melodic black metal act from the port city of Rijeka, active since 2014. The band channels the atmospheric melancholy of melodic black metal from the Kvarner Bay.
Mar de Grises was formed in Santiago, Chile in 2000, developing a death/doom sound that incorporated post-rock, ambient, and progressive elements into their dense compositional framework. Their debut The Tatterdemalion Express (2004) established them as a significant voice in South American doom, followed by Draining the Waterheart (2008) and Streams Inwards (2010), the latter named the top doom metal album of 2010 by Metal Storm's user base. The band dissolved in 2013 but announced a reunion in 2024, their catalog standing as one of the most ambitious in Latin American extreme metal.
Mar Muerto is an experimental metal band from Antofagasta, Chile, formed in 2017. Rooted in heavy metal, the band incorporates experimental touches spanning classical music, progressive structures, and black metal influences. Their 2020 EP Shub-Niggurath, a seven-track release drawing on Lovecraftian themes, stands as their primary recorded output to date.

A heavy metal act from Lublin in eastern Poland, Mara has been delivering classic-style compositions since 2015. Named after the nightmare demon of Slavic mythology, the band channels local folklore into traditional metal.
Formed as a supergroup drawing from well-known names in the national underground, Marabô features vocalist Felipe Chehuan (formerly of Confronto and Cabeçudos), guitarist Davi Baeta, bassist Paulinho Coruja, and drummer Henrique Pucci. The band channels heavy groove and metalcore through dense riffs and politically charged lyrics, as heard on the single "Estacas," which was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Baeta and Pucci themselves.
A one-person DIY project blending thrash, hardcore, and grindcore with a deliberately absurdist sensibility, Marafo de Exú debuted in 2016 with the 16-track album "Diabólico Alcoólico," a chaotic slab of short, fast songs delivered with raw, lo-fi ferocity. The project also released a live recording from Destroy Music Now Fest 3, capturing the same unfiltered intensity in a live setting.
Marak is a blackened death metal/grindcore band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, formed in 2012. They forge extreme metal at the fierce intersection of black and death metal.
