A solo endeavor by the artist known as Kaelreth, Oblique Silhouette operates in the overlap between raw black metal, depressive black metal, and ambient, producing everything in a bedroom setting. The project's debut, the three-track EP Through the Hate Forests (December 2022), established a tone of deep melancholy and isolation, followed by a second EP, Grimlands Under the Moon Spectre, that pushed further into atmospheric territory.
Hailing from Ponta Grossa, Obscurantis fuses industrial textures with raw black metal hostility, wrapping esoteric and cosmic themes in a harsh, mechanised sound. Their 2020 debut "Pesta Mundi" runs six tracks — including the sprawling "Ktullanux" and the bleak "Ex Dei" — drawing on occult and astronomical imagery to build a genuinely unsettling atmosphere.
Formed in November 2019, Obscure Relic play a ferocious, old-school-rooted black metal indebted to early Scandinavian brutality — all razor riffs, blast-beat drumming, and vocalist Caronte's infernal high-pitched shrieks stacked against guttural roars. Their 2020 EP "First Black Communion" announced a band comfortable in the genre's most violent register, followed in 2021 by the fuller "Black Sorcery Devotion", twelve tracks of occult-drenched, relentless attack.
Black metal project from Santiago, Chile, whose name combines the Greek roots for "crowd" and "aversion" as a statement against collective conformity. The duo of P.B. and K. have released three records — Vendémiaire (2021), Thermidor (2022), and ...In Terrorem (2023) — crafting philosophically charged black metal shaped by Nietzschean and counter-Enlightenment themes.
Ocutos emerged from Itabaiana with their 2021 debut demo Cult of the Witch, a four-track slab of raw black metal steeped in witchcraft and Satanic imagery. The recording leans into primitive production, letting the hostility of tracks like "Goat and the Moon" carry the weight over any sonic polish.
Odalheim play old-school black metal rooted in misanthropy, anti-Christianity, and the raw elemental force of nature, drawing a clear line from the Norwegian second wave. The band — built around Disintegratör, Nekromisantrop, Paimon, and Shadow — laid down their foundational sound across the 2014 demo When the Sun Has Died and the 2015 EP Praise the True Black Flame, both marked by cold riffing and an uncompromising underground aesthetic.
Odisseia dos Loucos deal in nihilistic black metal drenched in chaos, existential despair, and occult philosophy. Their debut album "O Princípio de Todos os Males," released through Death Voice Records in July 2020, pairs suffocating atmosphere with sharply conceptual lyrics, followed by the single "Metafísica do Caos" in 2021.
Emerging from the ashes of 1990s act Lethal Curse, Of the Archaengel blended gothic atmosphere with black and death metal on their sprawling conceptual album "The Extraphysicallia" (2010), a nearly 70-minute work inspired by spiritualist literature and mastered at Sweden's Cutting Room. The album featured guest vocals from Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ, underscoring the band's ambitions well beyond the local underground.
Widely regarded as one of the first unblack metal acts in South America, Offertorium channeled corpsepaint and second-wave black metal ferocity into explicitly Christian devotional territory. Their foundational release "The Unblack Metal From Light" (1997) — featuring vocalist and bassist Fabio Carvalho, keyboardist Eduardo Borges, and drummer Alexandre "Matan" — stands as a curiosity of the era where extreme aesthetics and faith collided head-on.
