Wintercomes is a black metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, formed in 2010 and active under Tyrfing Records.

Wolflust is a war death/black metal project from Brazil conceived by Carlos Cernunnos (guitar, bass, vocals) and Mauro Trojillo (drums), drawing heavily on the chaotic bestial metal tradition of Sarcófago, Blasphemy, and Conqueror. The band released the "Satanic Megatons" EP in 2020, followed by the "Endless War" EP in 2022, which featured original tracks alongside covers of Sodom and Sarcófago. Their assault-driven sound and ties to the Brazilian extreme underground have earned them multiple physical editions of their releases across international markets.
Wolfskrieg is a Brazilian black metal band from Rio de Janeiro that has pursued a raw, old-school warfront metal sound since forming around 2010. The band has documented releases including "Cold March," available through Discogs, and maintains an active presence in the underground Brazilian black metal scene.

Wrathorned was a black metal band from Valença, Brazil that traced its roots to a prior incarnation active in the 2000s, which released the demo "Pandemonical World of Total Disgrace" (2008) and the full-length "Hell Master," both documented on Metal Archives.

Xenoborg is a black metal duo from Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, composed of Irucyyne (guitars/vocals) and Urano (guitars, bass, drums, synthesizers, vocals). The band has released three albums: a self-titled debut in December 2012, "Umbra" in April 2014, and "U-CER" in March 2022, building a body of work around themes of genocide, extermination, and cosmic warfare.
Yajtay is a solo black metal project from Salta, Argentina created by the musician Wayrapaq, blending traditional black metal with Andean folk instruments including quenas, zampoñas, and sikus. The project released the demo "Wayrapi Waqay" in 2023, followed by the EP "Ayniy Kawsaypa" in February 2024. Lyrics are written in Quechua and the themes center on nature, paganism, and the landscapes of Salta's valleys and mountains.
Zalaam is a black metal duo from Lages, Santa Catarina, formed by Imperius Nockturno and Alysson Drakkar, two musicians who channeled the icy atmosphere of the Planalto Serrano highlands into a raw, primitive sound inspired by Venom, Bathory, Darkthrone, and Mayhem. Their EP Carnales, recorded in Lages in 2019, established the project as a fixture of the underground Brazilian black metal scene.
Zen Garden was a short-lived avant-garde project from São Paulo that merged black metal, gothic, and noise elements into an experimental framework, releasing the recording Chained to Time in November 2019. The band's willingness to dissolve genre boundaries put them on the fringes of São Paulo's already eclectic underground metal scene before they split up.
