Algoz Profanador is a black/thrash metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, playing in the raw and chaotic tradition of Brazilian black-thrash that traces its roots to acts like Sarcófago and Vulcano. Their 2019 album "Vagando nas Sombras do Caos" is a 10-track assault drawing on occult imagery, nihilism, and philosophical darkness, with track titles like "Before the Abyss" and "Devastation Without Mercy" anchoring their sound in the most aggressive end of the São Paulo underground. The band remains active and independent.
