Palmas, BR · 2023–present · active
Abyssal Forest is a pagan atmospheric black metal band from Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil, formed in 2017 and signed to Visionaire Records. Their debut album "Além da Grande Vasta Floresta" (Beyond the Great Vast Forest) weaves nature-worshipping themes and anti-monotheist philosophy into dense, melodic black metal, featuring founding members Skullkarved and Reinkaos alongside a full rhythm section assembled by 2019.
BR · 2017–present · active
Against Humanity is a Brazilian atmospheric black metal project formed in 2017, crafting music described as bleak, depressive, and hateful in atmosphere. Their album "Lost" — recorded in 2011 and released in 2013 under an earlier incarnation — features tracks exploring wounds, inner voices, and existential burden, rooted in the misanthropic tradition of depressive black metal. The project sits within Brazil's sprawling underground extreme metal scene, channeling cold ambience and desolate riffing.
Minas Gerais, BR · 2011–present · split-up
Alkahest was an atmospheric black metal project from Minas Gerais, Brazil, active from 2011 until their split-up. Operating in the same rich Minas Gerais underground that produced seminal Brazilian extreme metal acts, the project explored atmospheric and ambient-influenced black metal with themes rooted in occultism, ritual, and the spiritual — a direction consistent with the atmospheric black metal current emerging across Brazil in the early 2010s. The band remained unsigned throughout their existence.
Poços de Caldas, BR · 2013–present · active
Arcania is an epic and atmospheric black metal band from Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed in 2013. The band draws on themes of fantasy, nature, and landscapes, and released the album A World Forsaken in 2023 under the Bandcamp handle arcaniaepicbm.
Bogotá, CO · active
Ashriel is a one-person Atmospheric Black Metal project from Bogotá, Colombia, active since 2016 with a hiatus between 2018 and 2020. The project released the demo Spectris in 2016 and the single Memories Rises from Dead River in 2018, exploring themes of death, emotions, personal struggles, and nature.
Rio Grande do Sul, BR · 2022–present · active
Autrest is the atmospheric black metal solo project of Matheus Vidor from the mountainous region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, founded in winter 2022. Drawing on nature-influenced acts like Saor, Caladan Brood, and Eldamar, the project incorporates field recordings of forests and mountains into its compositions; the debut album "Follow the Cold Path" (2023, Northern Silence Productions) earned widespread critical acclaim, with a follow-up "Burning Embers, Forgotten Wolves" cementing Autrest as one of Brazil's standout atmospheric black metal exports.
