Vastarien is the solo project of Maceió-based multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo Lacerda, who handles all instruments, vocals, and production himself. Formed in 2021, the project works a seam of death, doom, and black metal saturated with themes of pessimism, anti-natalism, and cosmic horror — documented across the debut album nothing HAS to be (March 2021) and the two-track EP Cadaveric Fauna / Derealization, self-recorded at Sempiternum Studios in Maceió and released in March 2023.
Vathsath are a black metal duo from Quintero, Chile, formed in 2025. Their debut album "Forgotten and Lost Empires" (2025) draws on the philosophy of Nietzsche, exploring nihilism and existential collapse across six tracks of melodic black metal with atmospheric keyboards.
Vazio emerged from São Paulo in 2017 with a self-titled EP that announced a band fluent in raw, occult-charged black metal — a sound the four-piece (Renato Gimenez on vocals and guitar, Eric Nefus Cavalcante on guitar, Nilson Slaughter on bass, and Daniel Vecchi on drums) has refined across a series of splits and full-lengths including Necrocosmos. Their themes span the void, Quimbanda, necromancy, and dark spiritualism, rooting their music in Brazil's own esoteric traditions alongside orthodox black metal grimness.
Veldraveth is a black metal band from San Felix, Bolivar, Venezuela, formed in 2001 and currently signed to Evil's Records. The band has released several full-lengths including "Undefined God" (2007), "Temples of the Black Flame" (2009), and "Malformations of God" (2016), with themes centered on Satanism. After early lineup instability, the group rebuilt around vocalist R. Capella and has remained active through splits, live recordings, and studio albums.
Velho is a raw black metal project from Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, founded by Thiago Caronte on guitars and vocals alongside Thiago Splatter on drums, crafting chaotic, existentially charged music with lyrics entirely in Portuguese. The band's discography spans over a decade and includes the albums "Decrepitude e Sabedoria" (2015) and "O Retorno da Mesma Lua" (2019), maintaining an uncompromising underground stance throughout.
Velorium is a post-black metal band from Pedro Leopoldo, Minas Gerais, whose sound expands beyond the genre's traditional confines to incorporate elements of doom, shoegaze, and post-rock. The band — featuring Tiago Magno on vocals and guitar, Marcelo Siuves on guitar, Anderlon Auder on bass, and Amazarak on drums — released the two-track record "Prisão de Carne" in 2017, exploring themes of loneliness, depression, and nostalgia.
Veltharion is a death/black metal band from Bahia, Brazil, consolidated in late 2025 and comprising Ana Falcão, Fábio Nephilim, Bruno Freire, and Danton Tyrannizer — musicians with prior experience in outfits such as Dark Heaven, Diabolic Empire, and Iron Wolves. The band released their debut single "Sustained By Suffering" in January 2026 and announced their first full-length album "Black Hole's Dance" for April 17, 2026 via Sangue Frio Productions, exploring themes of ego, existential nihilism, and criticism of religious manipulation.
Venator Infernalis is a black metal project from Bogotá, Colombia, active since 2008 under the command of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Infernak.

The project delivers raw, Satanic black metal in the Colombian underground tradition.
Veneficum Ignis is a black metal band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, founded by the duo Khoronzon Magus and Abissus Daemoniom and rooted in themes of Luciferianism, Thelema, vampirism, and occult philosophy. Their release "Dominion of the Khaos Spheres" — a rehearsal-captured recording made available in 2014 — was picked up and pressed as a CD-R by Ukrainian label Depressive Illusions Records, cementing the band's reach into the international underground.
