Agadzagadza is a bestial black/death metal duo from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2025. Their debut album "Ululo Das Almas Trucidadas" (2025) delivers nine short, brutally abrasive tracks built on chaotic distortion, harsh guttural vocals, and deliberately lo-fi production in the tradition of South American bestial black metal. The band's name draws from a trickster figure in Bura mythology, while their lyrics deal in transgressive anti-religious and apocalyptic imagery.
Agael creates black metal and dark ambient from Heidelberg since 2014, the romantic university city providing an unexpectedly cultured setting for their atmospheric darkness. Over a decade of activity has produced a body of work that values mood and texture.
Agaharet channels raw black metal from Bologna since 2017, bringing lo-fi hostility to the sophisticated cultural landscape of Emilia-Romagna. Their obscure name adds mystique to a sound that values atmosphere and rawness over production polish.
Again in Hell is a death/groove metal trio from João Monlevade, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed with the stated mission of delivering brutal death metal in its purest form. The band — comprising Wally Roots on bass and vocals, Samuel Brad on guitar, and Marcos Vinicius on drums — has released three albums: "Falso Profeta," "Espírito de Porco," and "Maldade Genuína." Their sound combines the grinding aggression of Brazilian death metal with groove-driven rhythmic punch.
