Bastiel is a black/death metal trio from Ceará, founded by Thanatuz and Siffus as a garage project rooted in first-wave black metal before evolving into rawer, more extreme territory. Their EP Descendant of Moloch draws from Beherit, Archgoat, Blasphemy, and Brazilian touchstones Sarcófago and Mystifier, channeling occultism and existential esotericism through deliberately primitive, anti-melodic aggression.
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.
Black/death metal band from Barbacena, Minas Gerais, Brazil — not to be confused with the Polish act of the same name. The Barbacena Behemoth are part of a lineage of extreme metal from the city that stretches back to the early 1990s underground, and they operate in the raw, Satanic-themed tradition of South American black and death metal.
Brazilian black/death metal project formed in 2020, released via WarCore Records, featuring the duo of Tormentor on all instruments and Necromaniac on vocals. The band channels the raw, occult-drenched collision of black and death metal that defines much of the South American extreme underground, operating with a two-piece war-metal austerity.
Bestial Curse is a black/thrash metal band from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, drawing influence from Hellhammer, Venom, and Bathory. The band features members with ties to Brazilian acts Apokalyptic Raids and Flagelador, and released the album "Masters of Mayhem," recorded at Eclypse Studio in Niterói, on Dark Sun Records.
Bestial Nuclear Atrocity is a Brazilian black/death metal band formed in 2022. They released "Holocausto Podre e Profano da Desolação" in September 2022, a recording mastered by Filipe Silva that places the band within Brazil's underground bestial black/death metal tradition.
Bestial Possession is a Black/Thrash Metal band from Trujillo, Peru, formed in 2003 and currently signed to Tyrants Records. The band blends raw South American black metal aggression with thrash fury, drawing on themes of Satan, sex, and death. Their discography spans demos and splits from the late 2000s through to the 2020 full-length "Altares sangrientos" and the 2021 split "Legacy of Terror."
Bestialgoat is a two-piece war metal act from São Cristóvão/Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil, formed in 2020 by I. Lead Injektor (guitars/bass) and A. Mutilator (vocals/drums). The duo has been noted as a standout in the new wave of Brazilian bestial black metal, releasing the full-length "Infernal Goat Extermination" in 2024.
Black Mass was a Black/Thrash Metal band from Belém, Pará, Brazil, formed in 2013. Operating out of northern Brazil’s oldest metal city, the band blended raw black metal aesthetics with thrash metal aggression. They released music independently, including material available through their Bandcamp page, before splitting up.
