Aasverus is a funeral doom metal project from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, formed in 2015 and part of Brazil's slowly expanding underground doom scene. The band deals in the slowest, most oppressive end of the doom spectrum — heavily distorted guitars, funereal tempos, and bleak atmospheric density that characterizes the funeral doom subgenre. Their Bandcamp presence reflects a DIY approach common to the Brazilian extreme underground.
A black and funeral doom metal band from São Paulo active since 2004, whose name translates as "Without Faith." The project — centered on N.

Funeral doom metal project from Brasília and Natal, formed in May 2020 to craft a more dramatic strand of the genre by weaving in atmospheric black metal and post-metal textures. Their 2021 debut full-length "Væneration," released in a limited edition of 300 slipcase copies on Cianeto Discos, was produced by Breno Xavier and Thiago Satyr and explores themes of human insignificance and cosmic horror across seven tracks.
De Profvndis Clamati is a funeral doom metal band from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, whose name is Latin for "Out of the depths I cry."

Releases include the EP "In Between Passionate Minuendos" (2010) and the recording "The Transylvanian Mountainside Aria" (2013), with the band also appearing on the Brazilian doom metal compilation "Doomed Serenades" (2012).

Funeral Dawn is a funeral doom metal solo project by Thiago Alboneti from Osasco, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2020 during the pandemic as a personal outlet for isolation and grief.

Fungoid Stream is a Buenos Aires funeral doom duo — Joseph C. handling all instruments and Simon O. on vocals — whose entire discography draws from the H.P. Lovecraft universe, with lyrics taken directly from Lovecraft's writings. The band released five albums over two decades, from the debut "Celaenus Fragments" (2004) through "Prehuman Shapes" (2014) and "The Winds Among the Stars" (2019), concluding with the farewell album "A Nightmare and a Cataclysm" in October 2024, accompanied by a 4-CD anniversary box set.
