My Dearest Wound is a solo depressive/post-black metal project from Santiago, created by Sergio González Catalán, who also runs the doom projects Rise to the Sky and Winds of Tragedy. The project debuted with The Burial, released in 2023 through US label Tragedy Productions, followed by The Weight of Life Was Greater in 2024. The music confronts themes of childhood trauma, suicide, and self-harm, drawing on González Catalán's stated aim to express melancholy and inner rage without abstraction.
My Fallen Garden have carved out a space in the northeastern doom underground with a sound built on slow, mournful tempos and an epic, mystic lyrical outlook. Originally active in the early 2000s — appearing on the 2006 compilation "Suspiria de Profundis II" with the track "Images of the Inevitable" — the band returned to activity in 2017 and have continued operating as an independent outfit.
A three-piece funeral doom outfit recorded at GoreZone Studios in Belém, My Funeral Dream released the EP A Beleza De Um Funeral and the album Introspectivo in early 2017, both sung in Portuguese. Their sound leans heavily on suffocating tempos and cavernous vocals, placing them firmly in the tradition of European funeral doom while maintaining a distinctly raw, underground Brazilian aesthetic.
My Immortal Beloved has cultivated a steady independent discography since their debut Inferno Sensual in 2012, continuing through Estrada em Chamas (2016) and No Silencio do Lago (2019). Their black metal leans toward the atmospheric end of the spectrum, with a raw production aesthetic that keeps them squarely in the underground.
Myrkgand is essentially a one-man project driven by Dmitry Luna, whose 2017 debut album enlisted guest appearances from members of Symphony X, Novembers Doom, Mystifier, and Korzus to flesh out its mythology-drenched blend of melodic death, black, and folk metal. The 2022 follow-up Rituals & Wisdom was recorded in Oslo and Lisbon with Øystein Brun of Borknagar producing, pushing the project's ambitions into genuinely international territory.
A one-man industrial deathgrind project, MySilentGod released Mundo Herege in 2019 — an 18-track assault of mechanized brutality with anti-religious Portuguese-language lyrics spanning tracks like Jesus Ateu and Demônio. The project fuses the abrasive density of grindcore with industrial texture, occupying a confrontational niche in the broader extreme metal underground.
One of the longer-running acts in the Brazilian underground black metal scene, Mysteriis formed in 1998 and debuted with About the Christian Despair (1999) before resurfacing with Hellsurrection in 2012 via Heavy Metal Rock Records. Their blasphemous anti-Christian venom and raw production align them with the second-wave tradition, and they have maintained a fiercely independent, uncompromising approach across decades of activity.
Mystic Ethan emerged from a series of name changes — operating as Satan Church and then Mistic before settling on the current alias around 2021 — and pursues a misanthropic, anti-Christian style of raw black metal. The project is entirely independent and keeps a low profile, releasing material through Bandcamp without label support.
Rooted in over two decades of history — the band previously operated as Awake from 2000 to 2014 — Mystic Horizon signed to MS Metal Records and released Endless Nightmare as their flagship progressive metal statement. Their sound pursues the technically intricate, melodically rich side of the genre, placing them alongside the broader southern Brazilian progressive metal community.
