It's been a while since we featured any instrumental music but in Brazilian trio Autoclismo we've discovered a band that fuses heavy riffs and groove in a fun atmospheric rock sound.
Discover This: The Damnnation
Brazilian trio The Damnnation offer up a fast-paced, energetic blast of heavy, thrashy metal that is chocked full of big riffs and whiplash-inducing rhythms.
Introducing: Hemmera

Discover This: Pumókel
Having lived in Latin America for four months last year, I'm well aware of the battle facing Mexican band Pumókel face in overcoming the dreadful music that proliferates the region.
