São Paulo, BR · 2014–present · active
Nocturnal Fog are a two-piece raw black thrash outfit built around Oldskull on vocals, guitar, and bass, and drummer Deathhammer, debuting with the 2014 EP Manifestation of the Essence before delivering the 2017 cassette Nocturnal Ritual — five tracks of speed-driven riffing and barked vocals recorded with characteristic lo-fi grit. The band also contributed to a 2015 tribute to Quorthon, signaling the direct first-wave Bathory influence that runs through their sound.
Fortaleza, BR · 2021–present · active
Obscure Dreams trades in a deliberately lo-fi strain of black metal that bleeds into ambient territory, sitting somewhere between harsh raw recordings and introspective drone. The 2021 release "Burden" — a three-track set featuring the corrosive "Craving for Lamentations" — captures a project more interested in mood and texture than convention, while earlier material like "Murmúrios da Lua" leans further into atmospheric, near-wordless drift.
Paraíba, BR · 2015–present · active
Officium Apud Satanas trades in harsh, lo-fi raw black metal from the northeastern underground, issuing singles like "Serpente da Tormenta" and "Mate o Redentor" alongside the release "Rites Of The Pure Evil." The project embraces the primitive, ritualistic end of the genre with no concessions to polish or accessibility.
Catanduva, BR · 2022–present · active
A solo raw black metal project launched in 2022 by Billy Grind, Old Bats operates deep in the primitive end of the genre, self-releasing the EP "Primitivo" and a self-titled single through Bandcamp with minimal production and maximum menace. The project is a one-person affair in the truest underground tradition.
Colatina, BR · 2018–present · active
Raw black metal project from Espírito Santo operating squarely within the lo-fi, abrasive tradition of the style, with lyrical themes centered on death and nihilism. Signed to Kult of Bloody Rites, the band embraces the stripped-down aesthetic of the underground, prioritizing atmosphere and intensity over production polish.
Blumenau, BR · 2024–present · active
Putrefact Christ is a raw black metal and grindcore band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, formed in 2024 with Satanic and anti-Christian lyrical themes. Their debut album "Black Metal Against You All" was released on May 12, 2024 through Jems Label as a limited cassette of 30 copies, containing nine tracks including "We Are the True Black Metal" and "We Who Drinks the Blood of Your Bastardo Messiah."
Rio de Janeiro, BR · active
Rawthrone is a two-piece raw black metal band from Rio de Janeiro formed in 2020, consisting of Hellmaniac (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards) and Splatter (drums).

Catanduva, BR · active
Raw black metal solo project from Catanduva, São Paulo, formed in 2019 by Billy Grind, who also operates Ash Slasher and Mourning Souls.
