Ars Notoria is a black metal band from Curitiba, Paraná, formed in 2017, with lyrical themes rooted in evil, darkness, and occultism. The band has released material through Mountain Distro/Prod. and draws on the cold, ritualistic atmosphere characteristic of the South Brazilian black metal underground.
Ars Tenebrae is a death/black metal band from Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais, formed in 2019, playing anti-Christian extreme metal rooted in Satanic and misanthropic themes. The band operates as an independent underground act, combining the ferocity of Brazilian death metal with the cold savagery of black metal in the tradition of Minas Gerais extreme music.
Ashtoreth is a doom/black metal band from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, whose music is steeped in the mythology and folklore of the city known as the "island of magic." Their 2022 debut album Bruxólico — released on Dejeto Sonoro Records — weaves distorted guitars, unconventional percussion including a zither, and varied vocal approaches into six tracks across 40 minutes, drawing on local witchcraft legends and the poetry of Symbolist writer João da Cruz e Sousa. The album is envisioned as the first part of a trilogy.
Askaroth is a black metal trio from Isla de Maipo, Chile, featuring Odal (bass, vocals), Cruelbuth (guitar), and drummer Nilsson Arriagada (also known as Beleth), who have been active since the early 2010s with releases including the demo "Unholy Demian" (2011), the cassette "Lejania" (2012), and a split with Nocturnal Delirium titled "Memories" (2012) through Depressive Illusions Records. The band issued a self-titled full-length album in March 2022.
Asmodina was a melodic death/black metal band from Teresina, Piauí, a city with a small but determined extreme metal scene in Brazil's northeastern interior. The project drew on the melodic death and black metal aesthetics common to the early 2000s Brazilian underground before splitting up.
Asylum was a doom/black metal band from Araguari, Minas Gerais, formed in 2014 and later split-up. Situated in the Triângulo Mineiro region of Minas Gerais — a state with deep roots in Brazilian extreme metal going back to Sepultura and Sarcófago — the band melded the slow, crushing weight of doom metal with the atmospheric coldness of black metal.
A black metal act from Campina Grande do Sul, Paraná, formed in 2025. Their Bandcamp catalog already includes multiple releases — "I Can't Forgive Myself," "On the Edge of the Cliff," and "Violated" — suggesting a productive start for such a recently formed project. They represent the newer wave of underground Brazilian black metal emerging from the interior of Paraná state.
A one-man black metal project from Santa Fé do Sul in the extreme northwest of São Paulo state, founded in 2024. The debut release "Finis Adventus Parallaxi" introduced a sound built around esoteric philosophy, ego death, transcendence, and affirmative antichristianism — themes consistent with the introspective, philosophically driven strain of second-wave-influenced Brazilian black metal.
Athus Cerimonae is a Brazilian black metal and dark ambient duo — Anatole (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Angellus (bass, vocals) — whose music explores existential metaphysics and occult writing. Since their 2022 debut "Foedera Naturae," the project has released a series of albums weaving multilingual lyrics in Portuguese, English, and Romanian through atmospheric, ritualistic compositions.
