Solo atmospheric black metal project from Pernambuco, Brazil, built around the concept of primordial void — the name 0-Nun refers to the absence of the cosmic liquid said to have given birth to the universe. The project is led by the sole member V0 Id and has released a multi-part conceptual series titled The Shamanic Trilogy, exploring non-existence, emptiness, and shamanic philosophy across three installments plus a fourth release. The music fuses dense atmospheric black metal with meditative, cosmological themes rooted in the idea of all things having never been.
Abyssal Forest is a pagan atmospheric black metal band from Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil, formed in 2017 and signed to Visionaire Records.

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.
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.
Battlespells is an atmospheric black metal project from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2025. Their debut full-length "Hymn of Heretics" (January 2025) spans seven tracks of haunting, melody-driven black metal built around themes of religious questioning and spiritual rebellion — track titles like "Shadows of the Cross" and "Song of Heresy" signal the album's anti-dogmatic conceptual thread. The EP "Dogmas Fall" accompanies the LP as an extension of the same vision.
