Castración is a solo project by Santiago-based artist Lucero Guerra, active from 2018, blending raw black metal, harsh noise, and power electronics under the conceptual framework of the body as an instrument of war. The project released Terrorismo Corporal (2018) and Regímenes Carnales (2019), the latter issued as a limited handmade cassette through Octavo Canto, with themes drawn from biopolitics, queerness, and state violence.
Castrivenian is a Brazilian raw black metal project formed in 2024, drawing clear inspiration from the European second-wave scene of the mid-to-late 1990s, particularly early Satanic Warmaster, early Marduk, and Moonblood. In their first year the project released two demos — S.H.T.I. (April 2024) and Eternal Fog's Rebirth (2024, with a cassette release through Wolfkult Religion) — plus a split, demonstrating rapid and prolific output rooted in a harsh, orthodox black metal aesthetic.
