Papangu João Pessoa, Brazil
A heavy and heady group hailing from the easternmost point of the Americas. Formed in 2012, Papangu blends its penchant for the unknown with memorable riffs and the rhythmic vibrancy of Brazilian music.
Papangu recommends:
Disco Normal (2023: 4th Full Length)
by Test
Test have deconstructed grindcore and reassembled it as a genuine, unique chimera. They're also Brazil's hardest working band (the only band in existence to have played in every Brazilian state).

City of the Sun
by Seven Impale
Probably the greatest prog rock debut of the 2010s, this no-bullshit record is Van der Graaf Generator by way of Meshuggah and Tool. Also features the wonderful Benjamin Mekki Widerøe on sax!

Ordo Dracul Demo
by Dead Neanderthals
Fantastic doomy dungeon synth from the Netherlands' most uncompromising duo. Don't miss out on their discography.

From the same mastermind behind Kaatayra and Bríi comes Vauruvã, an atmospheric black metal project in similar folksome fashion, just a lot of more aggressive. I am a fan of the style of music this guys puts out. 7/10

one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you.

The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP.
