Battle was a heavy/power metal band from São Paulo that formed and disbanded within a short window around 2024. Operating in a city with a deep power metal tradition, the project drew from classic European and Brazilian power metal sounds before folding without a wide-release discography.
Battlechain is a São Paulo heavy/power metal one-man project by Kexo, a veteran of the Brazilian metal scene with prior work in Infamous Glory, Abske Fides, and Death By Starvation. Launched in 2021, the project is dedicated to traditional heavy metal, with the debut EP Curse of the Cemetery — produced and performed entirely by Kexo at MasterBlaster Studios — emphasizing pure classic metal riffs and atmosphere over modern production.
Battlespells is an atmospheric black metal project from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2025. Their debut full-length "Hymn of Heretics" (January 2025) spans seven tracks of haunting, melody-driven black metal built around themes of religious questioning and spiritual rebellion — track titles like "Shadows of the Cross" and "Song of Heresy" signal the album's anti-dogmatic conceptual thread. The EP "Dogmas Fall" accompanies the LP as an extension of the same vision.
Bavtist is a Venezuelan black metal and dark ambient project formed in 2015, active under the GreySun Records label. The project released the demo "Baptism I: Mysterios Xristos" in 2017, followed by the full-length "Bt. II: Mysterios Xristos / World Appendix" in 2019, exploring themes of Satanism through corrosive black metal and atmospheric dark ambient textures.
BDSM was a Brazilian raw black metal, grindcore, and noise band that self-identified as "Junkie Black Metal," operating out of Inferno, Brazil from around 2016 to 2023. The trio — LL (bass/vocals), FG (drums), and DM (guitars) — released a string of lo-fi assaults including the demos "Primitivo Black Metal" and "Poser Demo," as well as the albums "Dark, Black, Blacker!!!" and "End," finishing their run with the EP "The Black Metal Drugged" (2023) on No Profit, No Money Records. Their themes centered on human degradation, sex, drugs, and hate, channeling the ugliest end of the Brazilian underground.
Beast Conjurator was a Lovecraftian death metal band from Recife, Brazil, active from 2012 to around 2016. Founded by Sphynx and C Le Sorcier, then expanded with The Dunwich Horror, the band built their identity around H.P. Lovecraft mythology and occult themes, releasing the "First Conjuration" demo (2012) and the "Born from the Darkest Entrails" EP (2013). The posthumous full-length "Summoned to the Abyss" appeared on CD via Dying Music in 2017 after the band dissolved.
Beastkrieg is a bestial black thrash metal band from São Carlos, São Paulo state, Brazil, formed in 2013. Drawing from the classic South American extreme metal lineage — Sarcófago, Impurity, Holocausto, and Mystifier — alongside old-world forebears Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer, the band plays blasting, blasphemous black-thrash rooted in lust, Satan, and chaos. Their 2014 album "Graveyard Rite (Alcoholic Ceremony of Baphometic Worship)" captures the raw, primitive spirit they operate in.
Beegar was a death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active in the late 1990s. The five-piece — featuring dual guitars alongside a rhythm section and vocalist João — released two underground demos: "Otiumcule" (1997) and "Choose Your Vitals" (1999), the latter containing the tracks "The List: Choose Your Vitals" and "Saint Rape." The band operated entirely within São Paulo's underground circuit before dissolving, leaving only demo recordings as their legacy.
Beelzeebubth is a black/death metal project from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, linked to the Brazilian Ritual Records underground network. The project blends war metal aggression with politically-charged lyrical themes — historical atrocities, indigenous spirituality, and environmental destruction rendered through a satanic lens. Their 2020 EP "Sæculum Obscurum (Regressing More Than A Generation)" featured guest vocalists from Acheron (Vincent Crowley), Masacre (Alex Okendo), and Inquisition (Dagon), with Beelzeebubth handling all songwriting and production.
