Mepth is the solo project of Maycon Douglas, a one-person exploration of depressive black metal that bleeds into atmospheric, shoegaze, and sadcore territory. Albums like 'Raízes da Agonia' (2025), 'Grito do Silêncio', and 'Entre ruínas de mármore' chart an inward course through loneliness, despair, and existential horror with densely layered, melancholic arrangements.
MetaThrone is a symphonic/depressive black metal project from Germany, active since 2019. Their sound combines the orchestral grandeur of symphonic black metal with the anguished emotional intensity of depressive black metal.
Midgaard is a depressive black metal and dark ambient project from Benevento in Campania, active since 2021. The project channels the despair and isolation of its name's Norse mythology into bleak, atmospheric compositions.
Mindsiege is a depressive black metal project from Saxony, Germany, formed in 2012. They craft bleak, emotionally intense compositions steeped in the atmospheric and introspective traditions of depressive black metal.

A project embedded in the Brazilian depressive black metal underground, Monophobia released the single "Recomeço Sem Início" on PutreRecords and the full-length Gloom in early 2018 — the latter issued as a strictly limited digipak of fifteen copies via Silentium in Foresta Records. The music draws on raw, atmosphere-heavy DSBM traditions and has appeared on national scene compilations such as Coletânea de DSBM Nacional.
Monotona is a depressive black metal band from Poland, formed in 2024. They channel bleak, emotionally devastating black metal from the depths of despair.
Montosse was a depressive black metal duo — instrumentalist Astratta and vocalist Érdos — whose music drew heavily from H.P. Lovecraft's mythos, with the band's very name referencing a demon from The Evil Dead. Their 2019 release Pois os Mortos Viajam Depressa... showcased bleak, introspective songwriting that found a home on multiple Brazilian DSBM compilations before the project dissolved.
