Myrkgand is essentially a one-man project driven by Dmitry Luna, whose 2017 debut album enlisted guest appearances from members of Symphony X, Novembers Doom, Mystifier, and Korzus to flesh out its mythology-drenched blend of melodic death, black, and folk metal. The 2022 follow-up Rituals & Wisdom was recorded in Oslo and Lisbon with Øystein Brun of Borknagar producing, pushing the project's ambitions into genuinely international territory.
Mörbidez is a one-man black thrash project that recorded its entire debut, Sob o Signo de Belial, between April and May 2020 at the creator's own Casa da Bruxa studio in Vitória. The album channels the ragged energy of first-wave black metal and South American speed metal through nine Portuguese-language tracks steeped in satanic imagery, and was released in June 2020 alongside a bonus covers EP titled Limbo.
A raw black metal cult drawing directly from the second wave Scandinavian tradition, Mørkalv features members with roots in other extreme underground acts including Necroholocaust and Blood Sorcery. Their 2023 debut album "An Ancient Cult to the Aesir" delivers eight tracks built on Nordic themes, cold-blooded riffs, and an organic, deliberately rudimentary production that suits the band's uncompromising aesthetic.
