Curitiba, BR · 2023–present · active
Melanthropy emerged from Curitiba's underground with their debut album "Happiness Remains Shattered" (February 2023), a DSBM record written by multi-instrumentalist Lucas 'Raaski' Rafalski and vocalist Gabriel Henrique that maps the interior landscape of hopelessness through slow-burning, oppressive black metal. The project sits comfortably within the tradition of atmospheric DSBM without straying far from stripped-down, emotionally suffocating song structures.
BR · 2024–present · active
A Brazilian atmospheric and depressive black metal project that released its debut EP The Philosophy of Death in July 2024, a four-track, roughly thirteen-minute statement combining raw black metal with ambient textures and unexpected melodic passages that drift into near-Oriental tonalities. Norwegian-language track titles and an overarching fixation on darkness and existential despair place the project squarely within the DSBM tradition while hinting at a broader sonic ambition for future releases.
Brasília, BR · 2013–present · active
Mepth is the solo project of Maycon Douglas, a one-person exploration of depressive black metal that bleeds into atmospheric, shoegaze, and sadcore territory. Albums like 'Raízes da Agonia' (2025), 'Grito do Silêncio', and 'Entre ruínas de mármore' chart an inward course through loneliness, despair, and existential horror with densely layered, melancholic arrangements.
