A fresh entry into the Brazilian raw black metal underground, Malefício operates in the harshest and most primitive end of the genre spectrum, embracing lo-fi production as an aesthetic weapon rather than a limitation. The project launched in 2024 and channels a relentless hatred through minimalist, corrosive songwriting.
Vitória, BR · 2005–present · active
Misanthropic emerged from Espírito Santo's underground with a corrosive, lo-fi approach to black metal, channeling pure hostility through deliberately raw production and abrasive riffing. The project surfaced with the promotional demo Pain in 2005 and followed with the album Echoes of the Nightmare in 2007, cementing their place in the uncompromising Brazilian raw black metal scene.
Neiva, CO · active
Mormoth is a one-person raw black metal and dungeon synth project from Neiva, Colombia, founded in 2023. The project operates under the Blackflame Records label and has been prolific since its formation, releasing multiple full-lengths including Anticristo and El Bajo Astral alongside the Imperium Satanae EP, all within its first two years. Lyrically the project explores Satanism, paganism, and anti-Christian themes.
São Paulo, BR · 2023–present · active
A one-woman raw black metal project by Null (Iarly Patricio), Mortem Solis deals in occultism and solitude through a deliberately lo-fi, old-school aesthetic that drew notice from the international underground press. The cassette demo "Lamentos do Alvorecer" was released in 2023 through Anti You Rec, Apokalipse Kotidiano, and Fat Zombie.
BR · 2016–present · active
Mortespermia deal in aggressively lo-fi, necro black metal that draws heavily from the second-wave aesthetic — raw production, occult and left-hand-path lyrical themes, and an uncompromising underground ethos. Their 2016 cassette demo xXx Raw xXx, pressed to 66 copies on Depressive Illusions Records, was followed by the 2019 split O Miasma Misantropo das Covas on Kult of Bloody Rites, placing them firmly within the global raw black metal tape-trading underground.
São Luís, BR · 2010–present · split-up
Namroth Blackthorn was a raw black metal act from the northeastern city of São Luís, operating from 2010 until their eventual dissolution. Their output sat within the lo-fi, abrasive tradition of the genre, with lyrical themes rooted in occultism and self-knowledge.
São Paulo, BR · 2023–present · active
Naqke is a one-man São Paulo project that pairs raw black metal with dungeon synth, releasing a steady stream of material since 2023 including Old House Memories, Arcadian Tapes I, and The Magicians of Middle Earth. The project shifts freely between abrasive, lo-fi black metal and more solitary, keyboard-driven dungeon synth passages, often within the same release.
Betim, BR · 2024–present · active
Necromansy Rites emerged from Betim in 2024 dealing in vampyric, necro-inflected raw black metal, debuting with the five-track demo Black Goddess Cadaverine released in August of that year. The demo sits firmly in the lo-fi Brazilian black metal underground tradition, all hiss, distortion, and malevolent atmosphere.
Isla de Maipo, CL · 2007–present · active
Nocturnal Delirium is a raw black metal act from Isla de Maipo, Santiago, originally operating as Delirio Nocturno from 2007 before adopting the current name. The band is signed to Ukrainian underground label Depressive Illusions Records, through which it released the demo Abyss I and the split album Memories with Askaroth in 2016, with lyrical themes centered on darkness, paganism, loneliness, and hate.
