The Sound of Metal Cearense

“The Sound of Metal Cearense” is a deep dive into the heavy underground of Ceará, Brazil, showcasing the state's wide-ranging and aggressive metal scene. This playlist brings together acts across subgenres—everything from the thrash aggression of Crashkill and Damn Youth, to the sludge and doom textures of Void Tripper and Netuno Doom, layered with hardcore punch from bands like Facada and Siege of Hate. It’s raw, loud, and unapologetically local.

Whether it’s the speed metal blast of Blasfemador's “Speed Metal Ataque,” the death-thrash grind of Encéfalo’s “Slave of Pain,” or the politically charged noise of Warbiff’s “Blessed for What?,” the tracks reveal a scene that’s both punishing and diverse. With contributions from legends like Obskure to newer names like CORJA! and Cervant, the playlist offers a no-frills snapshot of what’s roaring out of Northern Brazil’s metal underground.
