Founded by the vocalist of Ocultan, Necrocosm channels the cold, primitive sound of early 1990s black metal through raw riffs and diseased vocals.

Belo Horizonte, BR · 2003–present · split-up
Formed in 1998 in Minas Gerais, Necrocult deliberately stayed out of the commercial underground, releasing a string of cassette and CD-R demos between 1999 and 2001 — including "Sadistic Armageddon" and "Spiritual Rape" — through the local Godless Records imprint. Decades later the band resurfaced with "For Thine Is The Kingdom, And The Power, And The Glory" (2015), released jointly by Satanath Records and Ira Militias Productions.
Coronel, CL · 2015–present · active
Necrolatría is a black metal band from Coronel in Chile's Biobío region, active since the mid-2010s with a catalog rooted in esoteric and misanthropic themes. The band self-compiled their early recordings on the 2020 release Ultimate Prevail of Darkness through Dreadful Records, then issued the full-length Where Light Has No Domain in 2022 — recorded at home in Coronel and released through both Apocalyptic Productions and Iron Bonehead Productions, with drums tracked at Ramses Studio and the record limited to 500 copies. Their sound draws on raw second-wave black metal traditions, with releases also appearing on Street Metal Blasphemy.
Salvador, BR · 2006–present · split-up
Necrolust were a black metal band from Salvador, Bahia active from 1989 to the mid-1990s, operating deep in the Brazilian underground with a sound rooted in satanic and anti-Christian themes. They left behind two demos — Christ's Excommunication (1991) and Kill and Die by Satan (1994) — both of which were later compiled on the 2017 limited-edition digipak The Rites of Infernal Torment, preserving a snapshot of Bahia's early extreme metal scene.
Contagem / Belo Horizonte, BR · active
Necromante are an occult black metal outfit from the Belo Horizonte area signed to Iron Bonehead Productions, drawing on the dark ceremonial tradition that has long defined that city's underground. Their album The Primitive Conception of Evil — recorded in 2014 at Studio Attack in Belo Horizonte and released in 2020 — showcases a primitive, ritualistic attack with tracks like Fire of Death and King of Blasphemy anchoring its feral energy.
Canoas, BR · 2025–present · split-up
