Tempe, Arizona's NeverBreath carves black metal from the desert Southwest's extremes — not icy forests but scorching exposure, relentless sun, and an environment that offers no mercy. Formed in 2020, they channel that harshness into a form of the genre that feels genuinely regional.
NeverChrist is an anti-fascist black metal project helmed by Thiago Perdurabo, who has operated the band largely as a solo entity since 2021. The project's output includes Latin-American Elite of Anti-NSBM (2018) and the more recent full-length Thelema's Way (2025), which was composed and produced entirely by Perdurabo at his home studio in Magé. From 2010 to 2019, Thiago lead the band as solo musician. In 2019 Allan Kunha entered as the live drummer, and Thiago followed recording all the instruments until today. Now Thiago is composing new material to commemorate the 26th anniversary of the band.
