Necromante are an occult black metal outfit from the Belo Horizonte area signed to Iron Bonehead Productions, drawing on the dark ceremonial tradition that has long defined that city's underground. Their album The Primitive Conception of Evil — recorded in 2014 at Studio Attack in Belo Horizonte and released in 2020 — showcases a primitive, ritualistic attack with tracks like Fire of Death and King of Blasphemy anchoring its feral energy.
Necromatório rose directly from the ashes of Sanatório, with the same four members — Pablo on vocals, Lucas on guitar, Andrei on bass, and Marcus on drums — carrying the torch into harder territory when the previous project dissolved in 2017. Their 2018 debut, Vida Longa Aos Incrédulos, balances the boundary between thrash and death metal with five tracks of Portuguese-language lyrics attacking social and religious dogmas.
Founded in Santo André by Daniel Curtolo and Victor Prospero, Necromesis spent nearly a decade working through an increasingly ambitious run of releases — from the 2009 demo The Dark Works of Art through the EPs Evolving to an Underworld (2011) and Echoes of a Memory (2014) to the full-length The Poet's Paradox (2015) — blending visceral death metal with progressive and thrash underpinnings. The band is also notable as the launchpad for vocalist Mayara Puertas, known as May Undead, who recorded Echoes of a Memory and The Poet's Paradox before departing in 2015 to become the frontwoman of Torture Squad.
A Curitiba thrash institution that blends guttural vocals with churning riff work and a tightly locked rhythm section, striving for what the band themselves describe as the right balance of speed, weight, and harmonic result. After a mid-decade split they reformed in 2020 and released "Inhuman Pestilence" (2021), following a catalog that includes "Devastated by Time" (2008), "Made with Evil" (2010), and "Toward Insanity" (2013).
A short-lived one-man black metal project driven by its sole member Nekrose, channeling themes of melancholy, depression, and internal struggle into nine tracks of emotional intensity on the 2025 album "Inexistencial Inexistência." The band dissolved the same year the album was released.
A self-described "old school death metal fleshcult" from Pernambuco whose approach owes a clear debt to the goregrind end of early 1990s extremity — their Repulsion cover signals as much. They debuted with the 2024 demo "Anatomy of the Grotesque" and followed it with the "Frenzied Necrotiscism" EP.
Necros Spirifer is a black metal band from Arequipa, Peru, formed in 2024 and dedicated to themes of sacrifices, sorcery, chaos, and darkness. The band released their debut demo "Abysmus Primigenus - We Preserve the Ancient Wisdom" in 2025, a six-track recording that announced their arrival in the Peruvian black metal underground.
A raw, one-person DSBM project that released a burst of bleak material in 2022, including the demo 'Melancolia Misantrópica' and the full-length 'Depressão, Romantismo, Misantropia e Suicídio'. The music traffics in lo-fi, suffocating production and despairing vocals characteristic of the depressive suicidal black metal tradition, with Portuguese-language titles underscoring an introspective, misanthropic worldview.
A solo black metal vehicle for multi-instrumentalist Wagner Schipanski, who handles all guitars, bass, and vocals, drawing on the raw templates of Venom, Bathory, and early Celtic Frost. The project re-emerged in 2020 with the album 'Addiction for Lust and Perversion', delivering fast, deliberately grimy black metal with an old-school sensibility that traces back to Schipanski's 'Temple of Lust' demo from 1996.
