The Sound of Metal Catarinense

“The Sound of Metal Catarinense” brings together a wide-ranging collection of metal cuts from Santa Catarina, Brazil, highlighting the state’s deep and diverse underground heavy music scene. From the crushing death metal of Frade Negro's “Souls in the Abyss” and the blackened thrash of Volkmort’s “Cold Winds” to the melodic power of Steel Warrior’s “Army of the Time,” this playlist covers just about every subgenre. Acts like Rhestus and Red Razor keep things raw and aggressive with old-school thrash, while Symbolica and Perpetual Dreams lean more into prog and melodic metal territories.

There’s a strong mix of Portuguese and English vocals across the set, blending local culture with a global sound. Bands like 100 Dogmas and Alkanza offer intense political and social commentary, while groups such as Zombie Cookbook and The Undead Manz bring horror-inspired intensity and theatrics. With nearly 50 tracks, this playlist runs the gamut from traditional heavy metal anthems to extreme metal pummeling, all tied together by a distinctly Catarinense attitude and production ethos.
