The solo project of Kavera, Northern Forest merged raw black metal aggression with expansive dark ambient passages inspired by the Amazonian landscape and the themes of seasons, night, and misanthropy. Releases including the album Natureza and the cassette A Eternal Winter on Depressive Illusions Records captured a desolate, nature-saturated sound rooted deeply in the northernmost reaches of Brazil.

Northrya is a six-piece symphonic power metal band whose sound draws explicitly from the European tradition of Stratovarius, Kamelot, Angra, and Sonata Arctica — a fitting ambition for a group determined to put Amazonian metal on the international map. Their debut singles "The Black Sky" and "Moonlight" (featuring guest vocalist Gabi Farias) introduced a polished, keyboard-driven approach with epic lyrical themes.

A classic heavy metal band formed in 1999 whose early inspiration came from the foundational canon of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Led Zeppelin. Their 2003 demo Savoring the Blood and 2004 EP Returning to the Slaughter established their straightforward approach, and they later appeared alongside Norwegian thrash cult act Deathhammer on a split recorded at Tom Santiago Studio in Campinas.

A solo death/black metal project launched in 2023 by veteran musician Fábio Nosferatus Lima, who has been active in the Brazilian underground since 1994. Drawing on horror-film obsessions, his releases — including Chainsaw Massacre, Deus-Verme, The Exorcist, and Conjured — explore a grimy intersection of death metal brutality and black metal atmosphere rooted in exploitation-cinema imagery.

Operating under the abbreviation N.Ó.I.A. — a Portuguese slang pun meaning dopey or paranoid — this São Paulo grindcore outfit delivered blasts of politically charged noise across a run of splits and compilations between 2012 and 2016. Their discography includes the debut Gritos de Horror, a split with Instinct of Suicide, an Agathocles cover, and the Correntes da Tirania split with Smelling Fétid Corpse.

A heavy metal act with a penchant for horror and classic metal aesthetics, Nostalgica released three records in 2021 — the self-titled Nostalgica, Melissa, and Horrorplane — establishing a sound that draws as much from B-movie atmosphere as it does from traditional heavy metal riffing. Tracks like "Battles to Win" and "Horrorplane" reflect the band's B-grade horror fixations filtered through straightforward, hook-driven metal.

Nostalgie Depression was a one-person depressive black metal and ambient project from Santiago, active from 2012 until splitting up, created by the sole member Adramelejch. The project released several albums through Ukrainian label Depressive Illusions Records, including Del Cerro a la Luz Resplandeciente bajo el Sol and El Canto de las Aves en la Niebla in 2014 and Psychedelic Eyes in 2015, exploring themes of misanthropy, depression, and melancholy.

Nostos took their name from the ancient Greek concept of the epic hero's return home, and channeled that inward journey through bleak, atmospheric black metal. The project released the EP Misfortune and the single Altar before going silent, leaving behind a small but focused body of work built around introspection and desolation.

Noth is a solo project by the multi-instrumentalist known as Niili, who started in raw black metal territory with vegetarian and environmental themes before pivoting toward heavier sludge, doom, and noise textures. The 2022 EP Noth Is Nothing showcases that transition, trading primitive aggression for suffocating weight and an obsession with nothingness and psychological collapse.
