Maldição is a metal-punk outfit steeped in the traditions of Motörhead, Venom, and Hellhammer, wielding abrasive riffs alongside pointedly anti-fascist, anti-capitalist lyrics.

Suzano, BR · 1993–present · active
A long-running death-black metal force from the São Paulo underground, Malediction 666 draws heavily from the Greek black metal tradition — the 2019 album "We, Demons" even features guest appearances from Necroabyssious of Varathron and Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ. The project is largely driven by a single individual, resulting in a focused and consistent sound shaped by decades of devotion to the dark arts.
Fortaleza, BR · 2021–present · on-hold
Maleficarum brings a psychedelic sensibility to black metal from the scorched northeast of the country, threading hallucinatory textures through an otherwise bleak and hostile framework. Their 2021 release "Blocksberg Selecta" serves as an entry point into their occult-influenced sound, which sits at the intersection of ceremonial atmosphere and raw black metal abrasion.
Teresina, BR · 2014–present · active
Rising from the hot interior of Piauí, Malignitude play a rawly atmospheric strain of black metal with occult and misanthropic leanings, as heard on their debut "Sons of Infernal Land." The record unfolds across six tracks of cold, mid-paced aggression, channeling the bleak grandeur typical of Scandinavian second-wave black metal through a distinctly northern Brazilian lens.
Jaboatão dos Guararapes, BR · 2018–present · active
One of the more enduring forces in the Brazilian black metal underground, Malkuth have been operating out of the Pernambuco region since 1993, building an extensive discography rooted in occultism, Lovecraftian horror, and anti-Christian war metal. Their 2018 seventh studio album "Voodoo," released through Obskure Chaos Distro, marks three decades of unrelenting devotion to extreme and esoteric darkness.
