Välen Fröst is a one-person depressive black metal and shoegaze project from Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2024. Their debut album "Rejection of Humanity," released December 22, 2024, spans five tracks of murky blackgaze built around themes of isolation, emptiness, and the will to disappear.
Manaus, BR · 2010–present · active
Álef Hylliel is a prolific post-black metal and blackgaze project from Manaus, Brazil, blending tremolo-driven black metal with shoegaze atmospherics, ambient textures, and post-rock melody. Active since 2010, the project has built an extensive catalog of over a dozen albums on Bandcamp, including releases such as "失われた音" (Ushinawareta Oto), "Laniakea", and "Entre Amigos Depressivos", drawing on themes of depression, isolation, and introspection. The multilingual album titling — mixing Portuguese, English, and Japanese — reflects the project's broad atmospheric and emotional range within the DSBM-adjacent blackgaze space.
