Le Chant Noir is an avant-garde black metal project from Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2016, built around vocalist Lord Kaiaphas (ex-Ancient, Thokkian Vortex), guitarist Mantus (Marcelo Vasco of The Troops of Doom and Patria), and drummer Malphas (Mysteriis). The trio released their debut album Ars Arcanvm Vodvm in 2017, weaving together black metal with progressive and classical influences alongside occult and voodoo lyrical themes. Their second full-length, La Société Satanique des Poètes Morts, followed in 2021 through Personal Records and drew international attention from outlets including Decibel Magazine.
Psicosfera are an avant-garde black metal quartet from Morón, Buenos Aires, who began as an instrumental post-metal outfit before incorporating vocals and darker black metal elements across three albums: AlphA (2015), Beta (2018, picked up by Avantgarde Music), and Summa Negativa (2023, released via Lavadome Productions). The band features guitarists Gabriel Sabatini and Gabriel Luque — both also active in acts such as Abolition of Impediment, Inexistence, and Vil — alongside bassist Juan Martin Venezia and drummer Juan Facundo Brinville.
