A one-man project helmed by multi-instrumentalist Patrick Marçal, Noldor channels the melodic death metal tradition of the Gothenburg school through a home-studio lens darkened by Lovecraftian horror and philosophical despondency. Three full-lengths document the project's evolution: Condemned to Eternity (2017), Banned from Light (2020), and The Unknown (2022), the last of which weaves a four-part narrative drawing on Half-Life and H.P. Lovecraft.

Formed by Griffin, Ascheswolf, and Arthan Deadhymns, Nomades play a raw and ritualistic pagan black metal steeped in the mythologies and ancestral shadows of northeastern Brazil. From their limited first demo Eras de Sangue (2012) through to their 2023 full-length Paganus, the horde has maintained an atmosphere of archaic defiance and pagan darkness.

Nordeath deal in the unholy intersection of speed and black metal, drawing equal inspiration from Bathory, Kreator, and Cruel Force as from Brazilian forebears Sarcófago and Whipstriker. Their 2018 debut EP O Chamado do Abismo announced a band committed to old-school underground ugliness, and they have since been signed to Norway's Edged Circle Productions, with a full-length following.

Nordheim blend the symphonic sweep of European power metal with heavy, propulsive riffing and a lyrical fixation on battle and mythology. The band's two studio albums, ...And the Raw Metal Power (2002) and Enter the Wolf (2018), bracket a long hiatus and showcase the work of vocalist/guitarist Gustavo Harrass and guitarist Eduardo "Rainheart" Fernandez.

Norditual is a progressive black and viking metal band from Freyre, in the Córdoba province of Argentina, blending epic and experimental arrangements with world-music influences. The band released their debut album Éxodo in 2010, followed by the two-part Echoes from Mankind — Parts I and II in 2016, both recorded and mixed by Franco Mensa at The Viking House studio in Freyre.

Norep Aviv is a stoner/doom metal band from La Plata, Argentina, formed in 2016 and known for blending the genre's classic heaviness with outside influences and rhythmic variety. Their debut album Parawaian Drugs was recorded at Napal Studio in La Plata between December 2016 and April 2017, engineered and mixed by Fernando M. Bozzini.

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.
