BR · 2020–present · active
A Brazilian Viking metal solo project by multi-instrumentalist Witmar, who handles all instruments and vocals. The project draws on Norse mythology and pagan themes — including song titles in Old Norse — while operating from South America, a rare combination that situates it within Brazil's small but dedicated Viking metal underground. Earlier releases came out through Metalage Productions and White Metal Art Producciones.
Neuquén, AR · 2017–present · split-up
Black Tears was a viking metal band from Neuquén, in Argentina's Patagonian region, catalogued on Encyclopaedia Metallum and dedicated to themes of Norse mythology and epic battles. The band was one of the few acts in Argentina's deep south to work within the viking metal tradition before splitting up.
BR · 2021–present · active
Frummyrkrið is a progressive black and viking metal band from Brazil, formed in 2021 as a trio of three siblings. Their debut album Dauðans Myrkri (2021) — the title meaning "The Darkness of Death" in Icelandic, mirroring the band's Icelandic-derived name meaning "Primordial Darkness" — weaves together progressive rock, ambient textures, and viking metal in the vein of Enslaved, earning a 91/100 score from The Elite Extremophile.
Guanambi, BR · 2014–present · active
Godslayer is a folk and Viking metal band from Guanambi, Bahia, Brazil, formed in 2014 and focused on themes of Nordic mythology and Viking history. The band incorporates folk instrumentation alongside heavy guitar work, and released the album "Old Gods" as well as the single "Fenrisulfr" in 2018.
Santiago, CL · 2003–present · split-up
Hedenskrig was a Viking and pagan black metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2003 and driven by themes of Norse mythology, war, and ancient legends.

São Paulo, BR · 2012–? · disbanded
La Tormenta was a São Paulo band formed in 2012 that took the unusual approach of fusing grindcore with viking metal.

The project split up after a short run, leaving Midgard Grind as their primary documented output.
Córdoba, AR · 2015–present · active
