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.
