Nekkrofuneral deals in old-school black/death savagery rooted in the Brazilian underground tradition, with Z. Misanthrope on bass and vocals, M. Marra on guitars, and C. Couto on drums. Their 2021 split "A Epítome da Decadência Humana" with Numbomb showcases the band's raw, crust-tinged attack recorded and mixed at Heavy Track Estúdio.
Nekrokult channels the unholy trinity of early Bathory, Celtic Frost, and Sarcófago into punishing black/thrash metal with a heavy crust and d-beat undercurrent. Their 2017 debut "Desecration of Blood," released on cassette by Narcoleptica Productions, tears through eleven tracks of malicious, Satan-drenched speed and filth.
Nekrommander is a one-person black/death metal project helmed by Ghul, whose 2023 EP "Vomiting in Heaven" was years in the making — drums tracked in 2019, the rest completed through 2023. The five-track release blends crunchy old-school death metal with thrash sharpness and hardcore-inflected groove, with session drums contributed by Douglas Batista.
Nekropsalms is a death metal act from Betim signed to Headbanger's Behavior, dealing in themes of anti-Christianity, occultism, and apocalyptic violence. The band emerged in 2023 and operates squarely within the old-school Brazilian death metal tradition.
Nekrós is a heavy/thrash metal band from the southern Santa Catarina scene, combining the aggressive momentum of classic thrash with heavier, more groove-oriented textures. The band has maintained an independent path since their formation, building their sound around themes of society and mortality.
Nekyros is a Buenos Aires black metal project formed by Cristián Yans (guitars, bass) and Dany (vocals, drum programming), both also known from Los Males del Mundo.

Nely Arocalypse is a Chilean solo metal project blending old-school heavy metal and thrash with acoustic folk and rock elements. The project launched with the debut album "Antiplanic Winter" in October 2020, described as "heavy metal forged from the mined metals of Chile and the world," followed by the 24-track acoustic record "Salar de Acoustica" in June 2021.
Nemoris is a black metal band from Córdoba, Argentina whose discography includes the albums Hell's Glacial Solitude (2011), Esoteric Visions of the Old Ritual (2013), and Black War (2020). The band, whose vocalist is credited as Svart Sjel, builds their sound around themes of Satanism and occultism and has remained an independent underground act throughout their career.
Nenavist blends atmospheric black metal, depressive black metal, and ambient into a cold, suffocating sound rooted in hatred and despair — the name itself means "hatred" in Slavic languages. Their 2024 release "Genom Screams" marks the project's early output, distributed through Wraith Productions.
