São Paulo, BR · 2021–present · split-up
A raw, one-person DSBM project that released a burst of bleak material in 2022, including the demo 'Melancolia Misantrópica' and the full-length 'Depressão, Romantismo, Misantropia e Suicídio'.

São José do Rio Preto, BR · 2024–present · active
Nenavist blends atmospheric black metal, depressive black metal, and ambient into a cold, suffocating sound rooted in hatred and despair — the name itself means "hatred" in Slavic languages. Their 2024 release "Genom Screams" marks the project's early output, distributed through Wraith Productions.
São Paulo, BR · 2016–present · active
