Beelzeebuth was a death/black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, that formed and dissolved within the 2020s as an unsigned underground act. Distinct from the similarly-named Beelzeebubth from Salvador, this São Paulo project operated in the raw, extreme end of Brazilian death-black metal — a tradition with deep roots in the city's prolific underground scene — before splitting up after a brief run.
Before Breathing is a melodic deathcore band from Chile who emerged in 2017 and gained an international following through intense live performances and sonically dense recordings. The band toured the United States in 2019, covering four states, and has drawn comparisons to acts such as Lorna Shore and Shadow of Intent. Their discography includes the debut EP Born Into the Chaos (2017) and the full-length Eternal Shadow of Existence (2022).
Before Eden was a progressive power metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, founded in 1998 by guitarist Alessandro Kotlinsky. Their melodic, keyboard-driven sound — shaped by Juliano Scharf's prominent keys work — earned them recognition in Brazil's Rock Brigade magazine, where they placed 4th in the "Best National Act" category and Scharf was nominated "Best Keyboarder." The band released three studio albums: a self-titled debut (2001), "The Legacy of Gaia" (2005), and "A Realm Reborn" (2015), before eventually going inactive.
Begotten Terror is a death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2024. An independent act operating in São Paulo's active extreme metal underground, the band channels Satanic themes through their death metal approach, carrying on the city's long tradition of brutal underground death metal.
Behael was a raw black metal project from Blumenau, Brazil, active around 2020–2023. The trio — Null (vocals), Empty (guitars/bass), and Paragon Belial (programmed drums) — recorded their album "Inner Abyss" at Emptiness Studios during 2020–2021, releasing it in July 2023 before dissolving. The project operated in the lo-fi, minimalist vein of Brazilian raw black metal, favoring atmosphere and primitive production over technical polish.
Brutal death metal outfit from Belém, Pará, Brazil, formed in 2015 and released via Necropsy Records.

The band has been on hold since the mid-2010s.
Death metal band from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, drawing on themes of serial killers, occultism, and death.

Behead Christ was a black metal band from Santiago, Chile, active from 1998 until their split in 2021, with lyrical themes centered on blasphemy and Satanism. Their discography spans nearly two decades and includes Your Will Is Mine... Satan!!! (1999), In Your Cross! In Your Anus!, and a split release with fellow Chilean black metal act Hades Archer. They were one of the longer-running bands in Chile's underground black metal scene.
Death metal band from Atibaia, São Paulo state, Brazil, tracing roots to an earlier project called Eviscerate Lies.
