Assú, BR · 2014–present · active
Odalheim play old-school black metal rooted in misanthropy, anti-Christianity, and the raw elemental force of nature, drawing a clear line from the Norwegian second wave. The band — built around Disintegratör, Nekromisantrop, Paimon, and Shadow — laid down their foundational sound across the 2014 demo When the Sun Has Died and the 2015 EP Praise the True Black Flame, both marked by cold riffing and an uncompromising underground aesthetic.
João Pessoa, BR · 2019–present · active
Founded by vocalist Tiago Monteiro and guitarist Mad Ferreira, Ode Insone blend gothic doom with melodic death metal and lyrical darkness sung entirely in Portuguese. In the span of three years they released three albums — Relógio (2018), A Origem da Agonia (2019), and Isolamento: Do Silêncio à Poesia (2020) — each weaving slow, heavy riffs into poetry-driven reflections on despair and existential isolation.
Fortaleza, BR · 2020–present · active
Odisseia dos Loucos deal in nihilistic black metal drenched in chaos, existential despair, and occult philosophy. Their debut album "O Princípio de Todos os Males," released through Death Voice Records in July 2020, pairs suffocating atmosphere with sharply conceptual lyrics, followed by the single "Metafísica do Caos" in 2021.
Belo Horizonte, BR · 2015–present · active
A steadfast keeper of traditional heavy metal, Odisséia draws deep from the well of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Grave Digger, building a sound rooted in classic European steel. They released the album "For Waters Force...Winds of Power" in 2010 and followed it with the three-track EP "Enemy" in 2016, cementing their place as one of the most dedicated outfits in the Minas Gerais underground.
São Paulo, BR · 2019–present · split-up
Emerging from the ashes of 1990s act Lethal Curse, Of the Archaengel blended gothic atmosphere with black and death metal on their sprawling conceptual album "The Extraphysicallia" (2010), a nearly 70-minute work inspired by spiritualist literature and mastered at Sweden's Cutting Room. The album featured guest vocals from Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ, underscoring the band's ambitions well beyond the local underground.

Ofenza is a black/death metal band from Lima, Peru, originally formed in 2009 as a parallel project to Illapa and revived in 2022 under Bloody Cross Productions. The band pursues themes of Satanism, perversion, and depravity across their catalog, which includes the demos "Perro metal negro!!!" (2019) and "Bestias del pecado" (2022) and a split release in 2021.
Buenos Aires, AR · 2017–present · active
Offenbarung is a solo atmospheric black metal project formed in Buenos Aires in 2017 by the musician known as Razsuh, who recorded and mixed all material at his Third Underworld Studio in San Antonio de Padua. The project released two demos — Demo I (Lunar Womb) and Demo II (Jaguar Levitation) in early 2019 — before issuing the full-length Manifestus in July 2019, a sprawling two-track album structured as four movements depicting an astral voyage.
São Bernardo do Campo, BR · 1997–present · active
Widely regarded as one of the first unblack metal acts in South America, Offertorium channeled corpsepaint and second-wave black metal ferocity into explicitly Christian devotional territory. Their foundational release "The Unblack Metal From Light" (1997) — featuring vocalist and bassist Fabio Carvalho, keyboardist Eduardo Borges, and drummer Alexandre "Matan" — stands as a curiosity of the era where extreme aesthetics and faith collided head-on.
Paraíba, BR · 2015–present · active
Officium Apud Satanas trades in harsh, lo-fi raw black metal from the northeastern underground, issuing singles like "Serpente da Tormenta" and "Mate o Redentor" alongside the release "Rites Of The Pure Evil." The project embraces the primitive, ritualistic end of the genre with no concessions to polish or accessibility.
