Anfauglith is a folk/pagan black metal band from Olinda, Pernambuco, whose name is drawn from J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion — the Sindarin word for "Suffocating Dust" referencing the burning of the plain of Ard-Galen.

Angel of Light was a black metal band from Piracicaba, São Paulo, active from 1995 to 2003, rooted in the Luciferian and Satanic tradition of Brazilian black metal. The band appeared on the 1999 split "Gloria Patri" alongside fellow Brazilian act Satanaquia, released through MegaTherion.
Angústia was a blackgaze project from Lavras, Minas Gerais, Brazil, blending raw black metal with shoegaze textures — a combination of abrasive tremolo-picked riffs and dreamy, washed-out atmospherics. The project was active from 2009 and split up after a limited run of underground releases.
