São Paulo, BR · 2020–present · active
A solo black metal vehicle for multi-instrumentalist Wagner Schipanski, who handles all guitars, bass, and vocals, drawing on the raw templates of Venom, Bathory, and early Celtic Frost. The project re-emerged in 2020 with the album 'Addiction for Lust and Perversion', delivering fast, deliberately grimy black metal with an old-school sensibility that traces back to Schipanski's 'Temple of Lust' demo from 1996.

Nefarious Abyss is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Dominus Gargoyle, conceived as a complete audiovisual experience built around a fictional dark kingdom.

Patos, BR · 2023–present · active
Nefarious Murmur practice an occult brand of doom-laden black metal from the Paraíba interior, drawing inspiration from Urfaust, Rotting Christ, and Isengard.

Rio de Janeiro, BR · 2000–present · active
NeverChrist is an anti-fascist black metal project helmed by Thiago Perdurabo, who has operated the band largely as a solo entity since 2021. The project's output includes Latin-American Elite of Anti-NSBM (2018) and the more recent full-length Thelema's Way (2025), which was composed and produced entirely by Perdurabo at his home studio in Magé. From 2010 to 2019, Thiago lead the band as solo musician. In 2019 Allan Kunha entered as the live drummer, and Thiago followed recording all the instruments until today. Now Thiago is composing new material to commemorate the 26th anniversary of the band.
Campo Bom, BR · 2014–present · active
Operating under the name Horda Nevoa on streaming platforms, this Rio Grande do Sul black metal act delivers a raw, war-obsessed assault drawing on themes of slaughter, satanism, and death that are squarely in the Brazilian black metal tradition. Their 2017 full-length Black Southern Winds is a 13-track statement of intent, and the band followed it with Obscura Essência in 2021, showing consistent output since their 2015 debut Satanic Bloody Wars.
São Paulo, BR · 2013–present · split-up
Self-described as practitioners of Nietzschean black metal, this São Paulo act built their lyrical and conceptual framework entirely around the philosopher's thought, with track titles on their 2023 album Twilight of the Idols — including "A man. A Rope. A Dance Over the Abyss." and "In the Mountains of the Mind" — reading like meditations on will, existence, and the abyss. The music matches the philosophy with cold, aggressive black metal that treats nihilism and self-overcoming as its primary emotional register.
