Imopectore was a heavy/doom/black metal band from Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil, drawing on dark, obscure themes across their self-released material. Operating as an independent underground act, the band blended slow doom weight with black metal atmosphere and traditional heavy metal elements. The project eventually split up after a limited activity period in the Brazilian underground scene.
In the Shadows is a doom/death metal band from Anápolis, Goiás, Brazil. The band contributed the track "De Profundis (the Chorus of the Damned)" to the Doomed Serenades Vol. 1 Brazilian doom metal compilation (2012) and later appeared on The Sound of Satanic Hellbangers Vol. III (2023), demonstrating a long-running presence in the Brazilian doom underground. Their music engages with themes of darkness, despair, and death common to the doom/death tradition.
Insanity Seas is a doom/death/sludge metal project from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, conceived by Henrique and Love Streit and active since 2021. Drawing lyrical inspiration from the cosmic horror fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, the band channels oppressive, slow-grinding riffs into an atmosphere of dread rooted in Lovecraftian mythology.
Inverted Cross Cult is a death/doom/sludge metal band from Porto Feliz, São Paulo, Brazil, featuring Diego Rodrigues on vocals and guitar, Guilherme Hespanhol Rufus on guitar, Viny Bial on bass, and Henrique Antunes on drums. The band released their self-titled debut album in October 2016, followed by the demo "Beyond the Towers of Silence" in 2018, with lyrical themes drawing from occultism, H.P. Lovecraft, and horror.
Isaurian is a shoegaze-inflected doom and post-metal band from Brasília, Brazil, formed in 2017, whose sound fuses gloomy doom tonality with post-metal atmosphere and dreamy, layered textures. Their second album "Chains of Blue" (2020), released fully independently and produced by Kevin Ratterman — known for his work with Emma Ruth Rundle — featured vocalist Hoanna Aragão and was recorded in São Paulo. The band followed it with "The Pulsing Rush" in 2024, further developing their organic, evolving approach to heavy music.
