Black Laguna is a Southern/Groove Metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed around 2013–2014. Drawing heavily from Pantera, Down, and Black Label Society, the trio brings a Brazilian take on the heavy, riff-driven sound that originated in the American South. Their self-titled debut EP was reviewed by the Brazilian metal press as a promising, well-produced first step in the style often called “metal cerveja.”
