Baphomaster were a sludge/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro whose sound drew on leviathan-weight riffs and desperate, abrasive vocals. Their 2015 demo — recorded live in rehearsal with a single microphone at Estúdio Fórum — introduced tracks like "Swamp of Sorrow" and "The Abyss," capturing a raw, suffocating atmosphere. They followed that with the album "Bong Or Die" in 2018 before splitting up, leaving behind a short but genuinely heavy catalog.
Bitterdusk were born in Santiago in 1995 and have built a slow-burning catalog that blends melancholic doom metal with progressive and NWOBHM influences, all sung entirely in Spanish. Their discography spans five albums from the debut "Pantheon" (1997) through "Guardián del Valle" (2024), the latter released on a 300-copy vinyl pressing by Czech label Doomentia Records and recorded at AudioCustom Studios in Santiago.
Black Nóia is a Stoner/Doom Metal band from Assis, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2017. The band blends fuzz-soaked, bass-driven stoner rock with heavy psych and elements of Brazilian rhythms such as samba de terreiro, creating a dense and culturally distinct sound. Their single “O Baque,” released after a four-year hiatus, was described by Doomed and Stoned as an intense journey through slow-driven stoner rock and heavy psych.
Black Priest is a Doom Metal band from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2019–2020 by vocalist Vinicius Libânia, bassist Gg Neto, guitarist Raphael Ribeiro, and drummer Phil Drigues. Rooted in the classic heavy sound of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, the band expanded into original material exploring depression, anxiety, and horror themes. They released the EP “The Soul Scar” and followed it with the full-length album “Fatal” in March 2024, a nine-track record recorded at FK Studio in Niterói.
Black Pullet is a one-person Black/Doom Metal project from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2023. The project released the EP “A Man of Sorrows” as a self-produced digital release, presenting a four-part work that shifts between depressive slow doom metal on the opening and closing tracks and raw atmospheric black metal in the middle, unified by an atmosphere of cold isolation and melancholy.
Black Witch is a stoner and doom metal band from Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, formed in May 2015. The band features Lorena Rocha on vocals alongside Rafaum Costa on guitar, and draws on 1970s-style heavy rock recast through down-tuned, doom-laden arrangements. Their discography includes the debut EP "Aware" (2015), the full-length "Solve et Coagula" (2016), and the two-part release "The Spiral" (2021).
Bleed for Me are a Buenos Aires black/doom metal band who have been active, under various interruptions, since the early 2000s, releasing a self-titled album, "The End...", and the full-length "Reborn" in 2017. Their music dwells on themes of sadness, pain, and despair, rendered through slow, crushing doom riffs layered with black metal atmospherics. The band has remained independent throughout their career.
Budasses is a stoner/doom metal project from Villa Lo Errazuriz, Maipú, formed from the ashes of the band Sahumerio. The group released their self-titled demo in 2012 through Proyecto Sepulcro, and later appeared on a 2021 split with Saturno titled "Kura Kütral Ko," tagging their sound as acid weed metal and doom stoner.
