A doom/black/gothic metal act from Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro state, founded in 2023 and already prolific with releases including Absence of Life (2023), Abstract Existence, and Scars of Divine Rebellion. Their lyrical themes circle death, mourning, misanthropy, and cosmic introspection, channeling the slow-burning despair of the doom-death tradition into a blackened gothic frame.
Aamonhammer is a black/thrash metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, emerging from the same fertile extreme metal underground that produced Sarcófago and Sepultura. The band pursues a raw, aggressive fusion of black and thrash metal rooted in the early Brazilian extreme metal tradition. They are listed as split-up on Metal Archives.
Abductions is a black/death metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul — a city with one of Brazil's longest-established extreme metal traditions, home to legends like Krisiun. The band blends the fast-picked tremolo riffing and blast-beat intensity of death metal with black metal's raw atmosphere and misanthropic aesthetics. They are signed to Acid Vicious and remain active within Porto Alegre's thriving underground scene.
Black/death metal band from Ourinhos, São Paulo, formed in 2021 and representing the deep interior of the state's underground extreme metal scene. Little documented material exists beyond their Metal Archives registration, placing them squarely in the raw South American black and death metal tradition.
A black and funeral doom metal band from São Paulo active since 2004, whose name translates as "Without Faith." The project — centered on N. (Marcos Felinto Santos) on guitar, synth, violin, and vocals — weaves funeral doom heaviness with psychedelic and post-rock textures, releasing a self-titled album in 2012 and "O sol fulmina a terra" in 2016, and eventually breaking their no-live-show policy to perform at São Paulo's Let There Be Doom festival in 2013.
Abyss Angel is a black/thrash metal band from General Roca, Río Negro, Argentina, formed in 2024. The band released the track "metamorphosis" in December 2024, establishing themselves as a new entry in Patagonia's extreme metal underground.
Acid Funeral is a Brazilian black/doom metal duo formed in 2024, consisting of vocalist Niili and multi-instrumentalist Billy Grind. Released through the DIY label Podreira Records out of Catanduva, São Paulo, their debut EP "The Doom Cult" (2024) fuses corrosive black metal atmosphere with slow doom riffing under the self-described banner of "Doom Rituals on Acid."
Afterbleed Splatter is a black/death metal band from João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil, active since 2022 and operating in the extreme underground. The band has appeared on multiple compilations including "The Sound of Satanic Hellbangers" Volumes I and II (2022) and "Metal Against Nazifascism" (2023), establishing a presence in the Brazilian extreme metal tape-trading and compilation circuit.
Agadzagadza is a bestial black/death metal duo from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2025. Their debut album "Ululo Das Almas Trucidadas" (2025) delivers nine short, brutally abrasive tracks built on chaotic distortion, harsh guttural vocals, and deliberately lo-fi production in the tradition of South American bestial black metal. The band's name draws from a trickster figure in Bura mythology, while their lyrics deal in transgressive anti-religious and apocalyptic imagery.
