Psicodeath is a death metal band from Londrina, Paraná, with roots documented on Metal Archives going back to a 1994 cassette demo titled "Devastated World." The band's early activity placed them among the first wave of extreme metal acts to emerge from Paraná's interior, a region less prominent in the Brazilian death metal canon than São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.
Psiconauta is a sludge and doom duo from Pernambuco, Brazil, consisting of Anderson Moss on vocals and guitars and Ad Luna on drums, active since 2012 and self-described as an "original Brazilian Sludge/Doom entity." The band released the two-track "Hunting Day" EP in December 2018, recorded and mixed at Pólvora Studio, and contributed the 14-minute track "Deep Mantra (Prajnaparamita Mantra)" to the Doomed & Stoned Latinoamerica Vol. I compilation in February 2018.
Psicopatia formed in the satellite city of Planaltina on the outskirts of Brasília, with a lineup including vocalist Morto Apodrecido, guitarist Solfieri, and drummer Doentio. The band released the three-track "Letargia" demo in July 2019 through Balrog Rec, and followed it with the "Náusea" EP in 2022; both releases were compiled alongside rehearsals and bonus tracks on "Último Suspiro" (2024, Auditive Cut Records).
Psicorragia is a death/doom metal band from Lima, Peru, formed in 1994, making them one of the longer-standing extreme metal acts in the country. Their sound blends the crushing tempos of doom with the morbid atmosphere of death metal, exploring themes of death, cult worship, and abstract horror. Key releases include the full-lengths Madremuerte (2016) and Salve Mater Mors (2020), the latter released through Postunder.
Psicosfera are an avant-garde black metal quartet from Morón, Buenos Aires, who began as an instrumental post-metal outfit before incorporating vocals and darker black metal elements across three albums: AlphA (2015), Beta (2018, picked up by Avantgarde Music), and Summa Negativa (2023, released via Lavadome Productions). The band features guitarists Gabriel Sabatini and Gabriel Luque — both also active in acts such as Abolition of Impediment, Inexistence, and Vil — alongside bassist Juan Martin Venezia and drummer Juan Facundo Brinville.
Psicosis is a thrash and groove metal band from Managua, Nicaragua, formed in 2008 with the stated goal of reviving the Nicaraguan thrash scene. The band released their debut full-length Toska in January 2018, an eleven-track record blending classic thrash aggression with groove-oriented riffing. They remain active and independent, representing one of the more enduring metal acts in the Nicaraguan capital.
Barcelona's Psychic Terror Cult has been combining black, death, and thrash metal into a triple-threat assault since 2014. Their Catalan base and occult-referencing name promise ritualistic extremity delivered with crossover versatility.
Thrash metal band from Laudio in the Basque Country, Spain, formed in 2016, named after the genus of psychedelic mushrooms. They deliver mind-altering thrash metal from the heart of Basque metal territory.
Melodic doom and death metal band from Vyborg, Russia, active since 2001, named after psychedelic mushroom larvae. Over two decades they have crafted melodic, hallucinatory doom-death from the Finnish border region.
