Depressive black metal and blackened doom project from Betim, Minas Gerais, formed in 2016 by two members credited only as Depression 3 and Depression 4. Signed to Depressive Illusions Records, the project has released a dense catalog of material including the debut demo Ouça Minha Angústia and full-length Infortúnio (both 2016), followed by numerous albums exploring themes of suicide, loneliness, and cosmic nihilism with long-form, slow-burning compositions.
Black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active since 2009 and part of the city's ongoing underground extreme metal tradition. They debuted with the demo Tétricos Amanheceres in 2009, drawing on raw South American black metal aesthetics rooted in the legacy established by earlier São Paulo acts.
Abissal was a black metal band from São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil. Operating from 2018 until their dissolution, the band played raw, underground black metal with themes rooted in darkness and anti-Christianity, in the tradition of the Brazilian underground extreme metal scene.
Abjeto is an experimental black metal project from São Paulo that began as a solo venture by guitarist and vocalist Mario Albino before evolving into an improvisation trio with the additions of Rafael Lennert and Alice Duarte.

The band has released several recordings through Bandcamp including Conclave, Dialética do Caos, and Argumento VI.
Able to Return is a melodic death and groove metal band from Santarém, Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon — a notably isolated location for extreme metal.

Abominador is a thrash/black metal band from Santa Mariana, Paraná, formed at the end of 2009 with the explicit aim of making raw, stripped-down extreme metal entirely in Portuguese. Drawing from the Brazilian bestial black/thrash tradition, the project released a demo in 2010 and has continued operating in the underground since, favoring aggression and directness over production polish.
Abomination is a thrash metal band from Brasília formed in 2015, operating in the underground tradition of the Brazilian federal capital's metal scene. Playing aggressive, no-frills thrash metal, the band carries on the South American extreme thrash legacy in a city better known for bureaucracy than brutality.
Abominatus is a black metal band from Garanhuns, Pernambuco in Brazil's northeast, formed around 2001 under the name Melancholic before adopting their current identity. The band plays satanic and anti-Christian black metal and released the album Kill the Christians in 2011, featuring symphonic elements layered over orthodox black metal hostility.
