PAPANGU is a progressive rock and avant-garde metal band formed in 2012 in João Pessoa, Brazil. Hailing from the easternmost point of the Americas, the group blends the texture and heaviness of stoner and sludge metal with Brazilian syncopated rhythms, the traditional harmonies of Northeastern Brazil, and the dissonant experiments of modern jazz fusion and avant-metal. They debuted with Holoceno (2021), a critically acclaimed, apocalyptic concept album blending Faustian myth with ecological eschatology, which presented a critique of the Bolsonaro administration’s destruction of the Brazilian environment and its social and political consequences.
Their second album, Lampião Rei, was recorded by 3x Latin Grammy-winning engineer Fernando Sanches in São Paulo, Brazil, featuring guests such as Mariano Sarine (DEAFKIDS), Andrea P. (AD NAUSEAM), and Philippe Bussonnet (Magma), and was mixed by Berlin heavy psych expert Richard Behrens, known for his collaborations with Elder and Kadavar.

The magicians in Sex Magick Wizards are currently promoting their third album. The music from "Death Grip" was released on Nice Things Records in 2024 and has gotten a lot of great reviews since its first taste of daylight. Death Grip has been performed by the quartet on an extensive Germany tour, and well applauded on concerts in Norway as well. The two earlier albums released by the band "Eroto Comatose Lucidity (FBR 2019) and "Your Bliss My Joy" (Rune Grammofon, 2021) has also attracted a lot of attention, and the band has slowly gained a reputation for its energetic, improvisatory, genre- and mind bending concerts on the european experimental rock scene.
