Bavtist is a Venezuelan black metal and dark ambient project formed in 2015, active under the GreySun Records label. The project released the demo "Baptism I: Mysterios Xristos" in 2017, followed by the full-length "Bt. II: Mysterios Xristos / World Appendix" in 2019, exploring themes of Satanism through corrosive black metal and atmospheric dark ambient textures.
BDSM was a Brazilian raw black metal, grindcore, and noise band that self-identified as "Junkie Black Metal," operating out of Inferno, Brazil from around 2016 to 2023. The trio — LL (bass/vocals), FG (drums), and DM (guitars) — released a string of lo-fi assaults including the demos "Primitivo Black Metal" and "Poser Demo," as well as the albums "Dark, Black, Blacker!!!" and "End," finishing their run with the EP "The Black Metal Drugged" (2023) on No Profit, No Money Records. Their themes centered on human degradation, sex, drugs, and hate, channeling the ugliest end of the Brazilian underground.
Beast Conjurator was a Lovecraftian death metal band from Recife, Brazil, active from 2012 to around 2016. Founded by Sphynx and C Le Sorcier, then expanded with The Dunwich Horror, the band built their identity around H.P. Lovecraft mythology and occult themes, releasing the "First Conjuration" demo (2012) and the "Born from the Darkest Entrails" EP (2013). The posthumous full-length "Summoned to the Abyss" appeared on CD via Dying Music in 2017 after the band dissolved.
Beastkrieg is a bestial black thrash metal band from São Carlos, São Paulo state, Brazil, formed in 2013. Drawing from the classic South American extreme metal lineage — Sarcófago, Impurity, Holocausto, and Mystifier — alongside old-world forebears Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer, the band plays blasting, blasphemous black-thrash rooted in lust, Satan, and chaos. Their 2014 album "Graveyard Rite (Alcoholic Ceremony of Baphometic Worship)" captures the raw, primitive spirit they operate in.
Beegar was a death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active in the late 1990s. The five-piece — featuring dual guitars alongside a rhythm section and vocalist João — released two underground demos: "Otiumcule" (1997) and "Choose Your Vitals" (1999), the latter containing the tracks "The List: Choose Your Vitals" and "Saint Rape." The band operated entirely within São Paulo's underground circuit before dissolving, leaving only demo recordings as their legacy.
Beelzeebubth is a black/death metal project from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, linked to the Brazilian Ritual Records underground network. The project blends war metal aggression with politically-charged lyrical themes — historical atrocities, indigenous spirituality, and environmental destruction rendered through a satanic lens. Their 2020 EP "Sæculum Obscurum (Regressing More Than A Generation)" featured guest vocalists from Acheron (Vincent Crowley), Masacre (Alex Okendo), and Inquisition (Dagon), with Beelzeebubth handling all songwriting and production.
Beelzeebuth was a death/black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, that formed and dissolved within the 2020s as an unsigned underground act. Distinct from the similarly-named Beelzeebubth from Salvador, this São Paulo project operated in the raw, extreme end of Brazilian death-black metal — a tradition with deep roots in the city's prolific underground scene — before splitting up after a brief run.
Before Breathing is a melodic deathcore band from Chile who emerged in 2017 and gained an international following through intense live performances and sonically dense recordings. The band toured the United States in 2019, covering four states, and has drawn comparisons to acts such as Lorna Shore and Shadow of Intent. Their discography includes the debut EP Born Into the Chaos (2017) and the full-length Eternal Shadow of Existence (2022).
Before Eden was a progressive power metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, founded in 1998 by guitarist Alessandro Kotlinsky. Their melodic, keyboard-driven sound — shaped by Juliano Scharf's prominent keys work — earned them recognition in Brazil's Rock Brigade magazine, where they placed 4th in the "Best National Act" category and Scharf was nominated "Best Keyboarder." The band released three studio albums: a self-titled debut (2001), "The Legacy of Gaia" (2005), and "A Realm Reborn" (2015), before eventually going inactive.
