Divinópolis, BR · 2022–present · active
Founded in Divinópolis in 2008, Perlokus is a raw black/death metal duo — VoidNecroLust and HEL Antichrist Revenge — who cite Sarcófago's INRI as the defining template for their sound: primitive, blasphemic, and chaotic. After years of demos and a brief name change to Ritos Abominaveis, they returned as Perlokus and released two full-lengths, Ainda Morto e Decomposto (2016) and Hóstia Podre (2019) via Brazilian Ritual Records, both cementing their place in the South American underground extreme metal tradition.
Osasco, BR · 2020–present · active
Phantom Menace traffic in occult-drenched speed and black metal with a vampyric edge, releasing a rapid string of singles and EPs in 2023 including All the Witches Hail, Chained in Lust, and the Night Galleries collection. Their raw, first-wave-informed attack pulls from the same vein as early Bathory and Venom with a Brazilian underground sensibility.
Guarulhos, BR · 2015–present · active
Founded in Guarulhos in 2001 as a solo project by Aron "Sodomic" Dick, Power from Hell started as a raw tribute to the first-wave black/thrash tradition of Bathory, Venom, and Hellhammer before progressively darkening into straight black metal. The band built a substantial discography over two decades—including "Sadismo" (2007), "Lust and Violence" (2011), and "Profound Evil Presence" (2019)—before signing to Debemur Morti Productions and releasing "Shadows Devouring Light" in 2022.
Euclides da Cunha, BR · 2024–present · active
One-person black/death metal project from Athayde Neto, a prolific Bahian extreme metal figure also behind Adumbrall, Töhil, Cosmic Sepulcher, and Wiseblood. Primitive Enchantment channels the rawer, more chaotic end of his output, rooted in the convergence of second-wave black metal atmosphere and death metal brutality.
Quito, EC · active
Pyramidum is a black/death metal band from Quito, Ecuador, formed in 2022 and driven by themes of occultism, vitalism, and misanthropy. The band released their debut promo EP, El Halo del Sol, in 2023, which included three original tracks alongside a cover of Slayer's "Sex, Murder, Art."
BR · active
Rache is a Brazilian black/death metal project formed in 2017, operating under the Acta Non Verba Rex label. Their 2019 demo Vril's Soldiers was later compiled alongside a 2020 rehearsal recording on the 2021 release Teutonic Soldiers of the Vril.
Puerto Madryn, AR · 2025–present · active
Rawness is a black-n-roll and metalpunk band from Puerto Madryn, Chubut, Argentina, drawing heavily on the raw sounds of Venom, Motörhead, Discharge, and Midnight. Their self-titled debut album, released on February 20, 2025, features seven tracks including "Warfare Noise," "Black Steel," and a cover of Inepsy's "Bombshell Rocks."
Belo Horizonte, BR · active

Londrina, BR · active
One-person black/doom/death metal project from Londrina, Paraná, formed in 2019 with lyrical themes of pessimism, suffering, and mental illness. The project released its debut album Pessimismo on May 7, 2019, and has since split up.
