One of the older names in Brazilian underground black metal, Profane Creation dates back to 1991 and released the demo "Nema" before appearing on a landmark 1996 split with Inquisition on Sylphorium Records. After going dormant for nearly two decades, the band reformed in 2014 and released their debut full-length "Portal do Inferno" in 2015, followed by a split with Abigail in 2017.
Profane Souls have been crafting uncompromising underground black metal since the mid-1990s, logging early demos before returning with the full-length "Unraveling the Mysteries of Darkness" in 2014. Their 2021 album "Ritual de Blasfêmia", released through Black Hearts Records, celebrated 25 years of the band's infernal output and features a lineup including Witchammer on vocals and guitar alongside Joyce Thorns and Lucifery.
Promethean Gate is a one-person black metal project rooted in Luciferian and Draconian occultism, with all instrumentation and vocals handled by Promethean P. Priest. The debut album "Architecture and Concepts of the New God" (2017) set the tone for a catalogue steeped in left-hand path theology, and the project is affiliated with the Ancient Coven collective of São Paulo underground black metal acts.
Psicopatia formed in the satellite city of Planaltina on the outskirts of Brasília, with a lineup including vocalist Morto Apodrecido, guitarist Solfieri, and drummer Doentio. The band released the three-track "Letargia" demo in July 2019 through Balrog Rec, and followed it with the "Náusea" EP in 2022; both releases were compiled alongside rehearsals and bonus tracks on "Último Suspiro" (2024, Auditive Cut Records).
Psychagogos is a Brazilian black metal project formed in 2014, signed to Darker than Black Records, with lyrical themes centered on paganism, philosophy, and fantasy. The band released a self-titled cassette demo in 2019, its only documented release to date, available through the Darker than Black catalogue.
Psycophobia is an independent death/black metal band from Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, with releases documented on Metal Archives including "Reality of a Psychotic Underworld" and "Devilish Kiss of Death." The band also appeared on the compilation "Satan Smashes Fascism" (2018) with the track "March of Destruction" and on "The Sound of Satanic Hellbangers Vol. II" (Satanic Hellbangers Records, November 2022) with "Welcome Infernal Land."
A recently formed São Paulo outfit fusing raw black metal with crust punk, Pöstvmö operates from an openly antifascist political stance and has deliberately built a racially and gender-diverse lineup in a scene that has historically lacked both. The band connects the underground extreme metal world with vegan and straight-edge communities, bringing a confrontational DIY ethos to their bleak, abrasive sound.
