Ayperos was a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active from 1994 to around 2021.

They remained an underground independent act throughout their career, releasing material that adhered to classic second-wave black metal aesthetics.

São Paulo, BR · 2008–? · disbanded
Azbuk was a São Paulo band whose sound shifted from black metal in its early years to death metal in later recordings, making them an outlier in Brazil's typically genre-entrenched underground. Founded in 1997, the band had an on-again, off-again existence over two decades with rotating lineups and evolving lyrical themes — from Christian-influenced content to war and social commentary and back again. Their Bandcamp discography includes the "Meremoth" EP among other releases.
Buenos Aires (early/later); Mexico (mid), AR · 2015–present · active

BR · 2022–present · active

The band operates in Brazil's underground extreme metal circuit and has a presence on Metal Archives, though their city of origin is unconfirmed. Their music emphasizes raw energy and groove over technical elaboration.
