Belo Horizonte, BR · 2015–present · active
A stoner and doom metal outfit from Belo Horizonte whose sound weaves heavy riffs with oriental textures and prominent female vocals. Their 2019 split release Digging the Abyss, shared with Black Feather Klan, showcases a slow-burning, psychedelic heaviness rooted in the Minas Gerais underground scene.
São Sepé, BR · 2023–present · active
A chaotic extreme metal project from São Sepé blending grindcore, death metal, and goregrind into what the band describes as a schizophrenic fuss of extreme subgenres. Their discography includes a split with Despoiled at Birth and a collaboration with S.E.B.O.
São Paulo, BR · 2019–present · active
A São Paulo heavy metal band whose Portuguese-language lyrics confront class struggle, systemic oppression, and social decay with blunt force.

Buenos Aires, AR · 2003–? · disbanded

Lavras, BR · 2018–present · split-up
Mircalla wove orchestral grandeur into a black metal framework built around themes of vampirism and occult darkness, drawing their name from Sheridan Le Fanu's gothic vampire novella. The band documented their craft across two demos — Flooded Veins of the Impurity (1998) and Carnal Hysteria for the Nocturnal Glory (2000) — before eventually dissolving.

Vitória, BR · 2005–present · active
Misanthropic emerged from Espírito Santo's underground with a corrosive, lo-fi approach to black metal, channeling pure hostility through deliberately raw production and abrasive riffing. The project surfaced with the promotional demo Pain in 2005 and followed with the album Echoes of the Nightmare in 2007, cementing their place in the uncompromising Brazilian raw black metal scene.
Torres, BR · 2018–present · active
Misanthropic Winter deals in cold, desolate black metal that mirrors the coastal isolation of its Rio Grande do Sul origins. The project's 2018 release Effigy of Frost introduced the band's bleak aesthetic, driven by Frosturnal's guitar and vocal work against a backdrop of wintry, misanthropic themes.
