I'd like do sugest Unlife, it's a Brazilian MetalCore band!

It has 2k monthly listeners, they're from Sao Paulo, Brazil!
They'd definetely fit in a Underground Progressive Metalcore playlist!

Some artists related to Unlife's sound are The Devil Wears Prada, The Chariot, Norma Jean and UnderOath!

Here's their artist page: https://open.spotify.com/artist/11T6Jciz0et0asIyMJo5JQ

*the three it shows are the delta saints, the steepwater band, and the heavy heavy hearts, but for more well-known artists i'd say joe bonamassa, the white stripes, or them crooked vultures

This band is just awesome. They almost made the cut for the regional competition of Hard Rock Rising in 2015 but in the end weren't selected to go to the finals in Barcelona.
