Nova Friburgo, BR · 2023–present · active
A doom/black/gothic metal act from Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro state, founded in 2023 and already prolific with releases including Absence of Life (2023), Abstract Existence, and Scars of Divine Rebellion. Their lyrical themes circle death, mourning, misanthropy, and cosmic introspection, channeling the slow-burning despair of the doom-death tradition into a blackened gothic frame.
Porto Alegre, BR · 2003–present · active
A gothic doom/death metal band originally formed in Sapucaia do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, and now based in Porto Alegre, active since 1996 and among the longer-standing acts in southern Brazil's melancholic metal underground. Their discography includes Toward Nothingness (2009) and Passion (2015), with a sound rooted in My Dying Bride-influenced death-doom that incorporates violin and keyboards alongside vocals from a rotating cast; they appeared on a Brazilian tribute to My Dying Bride in 2020.
Blumenau, BR · 2018–present · active
Aroma de Saturno is a doom, sludge, and stoner metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2018. They occupy the slower, heavier end of the Brazilian metal underground, releasing their self-titled EP and the track Ponto Sem Retorno through Bandcamp. Blumenau's German-immigrant heritage and industrial past give the city an unusual cultural backdrop for the kind of heavy, atmospheric metal Aroma de Saturno pursues.
Florianópolis, BR · 2017–present · active
Ashtoreth is a doom/black metal band from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, whose music is steeped in the mythology and folklore of the city known as the "island of magic." Their 2022 debut album Bruxólico — released on Dejeto Sonoro Records — weaves distorted guitars, unconventional percussion including a zither, and varied vocal approaches into six tracks across 40 minutes, drawing on local witchcraft legends and the poetry of Symbolist writer João da Cruz e Sousa. The album is envisioned as the first part of a trilogy.
Araguari, BR · 2014–? · disbanded
Asylum was a doom/black metal band from Araguari, Minas Gerais, formed in 2014 and later split-up. Situated in the Triângulo Mineiro region of Minas Gerais — a state with deep roots in Brazilian extreme metal going back to Sepultura and Sarcófago — the band melded the slow, crushing weight of doom metal with the atmospheric coldness of black metal.
João Pessoa, BR · 2022–present · active
Azul Turquesa is a doom/black metal project from Paraíba, Brazil, founded by Mailton "Soturna Cröstä" Lemos as a DIY solo effort in late 2021 before expanding to a full lineup. The band blends the crushing weight of doom metal with the abrasive atmosphere of black metal, with vocals that shift between eerie spoken word and raw screams over slow, hypnotic riffs. Their debut demo and the EP "Pusilânime" explore themes of existential dread, depression, horror, and the macabre.
