Anhaguama is a death/black metal band from Arujá, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2019 and operating in the underground extreme metal scene of greater São Paulo. Their music draws from the aggressive intersection of death and black metal, a tradition with deep roots in Brazil's extreme metal history.
Anhedonia is a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, signed to the American extreme metal label Maggot Stomp. Their debut album "Impudent Dominance," released in January 2026, delivers eight tracks of brutal, groove-inflected extreme metal, and sold out its limited vinyl pressing shortly after release.
A three-piece black metal band from Teresina, Piauí, in northeastern Brazil, formed in 2011 and devoted to the rawer, more primitive sound of 1980s black metal. Their 2017 debut album "Cold Embrace" — recorded at Orange Studio — showcases a sound that leans on lo-fi atmosphere, with lyrics inspired by nihilism, 18th-century poetics, and primitive culture. The band features Mephistopheles on guitar, Sadist on drums and vocals, and Poet on bass.
A black metal project from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, active briefly from 2018 before disbanding. The state has a deep tradition of underground extreme metal — home to Krisiun, Brutal Morticínio, and numerous other acts — and Antigo represents a later generation of that regional underground. Details on the project's lineup and releases are sparse, reflecting the deeply DIY and underground nature of the Brazilian black metal scene in the southernmost state.
Antropofectus is a death/black metal project from Magé, in the Baixada Fluminense region of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, formed in 2021 and currently on hold. Blending the aggressive tremolo-heavy assault of black metal with the low-end brutality of death metal, the project is part of Rio de Janeiro's active underground extreme metal network. They released music independently through Bandcamp.
Anubis is a Brazilian black metal band formed in 2009, named after the Egyptian deity of death and the afterlife — a common touchstone for black metal's preoccupation with mortality and the occult. Operating within Brazil's deeply rooted extreme metal underground, the band has remained active since formation and releases music independently through Bandcamp. Their sound follows the raw, atmospheric tradition of black metal that has long thrived in Brazil's underground scene.
Black metal and grindcore band from Manaus, Amazonas, active from 2016 until their dissolution. Operating out of the Amazon region — an unconventional home for extreme metal — they blended the blastbeat intensity of grindcore with the rawness of black metal. The band documented their output on Bandcamp and maintained a presence in Brazil's underground extreme metal network.
Apofis is a black metal band from Quito, Ecuador, formed in 2021. Drawing on themes of darkness, rituals, mysticism, and misanthropy, the band has self-released a string of EPs including Rituals in the Dark, Reborn in the Black Sky, and The Mountain Mist, as well as contributing to a 2023 split release. They remain an active independent act in Ecuador's underground black metal scene.
Apoka is a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active since 2020 within the city's dense underground extreme metal community. Their sound draws on the rawer, uncompromising traditions of the genre that have long flourished in southeastern Brazil.
