Ayperos was a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active from 1994 to around 2021. The band took its name from the demonological Prince of Hell said to command thirty-six legions of demons, and their lyrical themes orbited occultism, Satanism, and Luciferian philosophy. They remained an underground independent act throughout their career, releasing material that adhered to classic second-wave black metal aesthetics.

Azul Turquesa is a doom/black metal project from Paraíba, Brazil, founded by Mailton "Soturna Cröstä" Lemos as a DIY solo effort in late 2021 before expanding to a full lineup.

Their debut demo and the EP "Pusilânime" explore themes of existential dread, depression, horror, and the macabre.
Baalberith was a raw black metal band from São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, active from around 2002 and eventually split up.
