A one-woman raw black metal project by Null (Iarly Patricio), Mortem Solis deals in occultism and solitude through a deliberately lo-fi, old-school aesthetic that drew notice from the international underground press. The cassette demo "Lamentos do Alvorecer" was released in 2023 through Anti You Rec, Apokalipse Kotidiano, and Fat Zombie.
Mortespermia deal in aggressively lo-fi, necro black metal that draws heavily from the second-wave aesthetic — raw production, occult and left-hand-path lyrical themes, and an uncompromising underground ethos. Their 2016 cassette demo xXx Raw xXx, pressed to 66 copies on Depressive Illusions Records, was followed by the 2019 split O Miasma Misantropo das Covas on Kult of Bloody Rites, placing them firmly within the global raw black metal tape-trading underground.
Mortido is a raw black metal project from Yekaterinburg, active since 2015. Named after Freud's death drive concept, the project channels psychological self-destruction into primitive, lo-fi black metal.
A raw black metal project active since 2003, Mortification traffic in the most primitive and caustic strain of the genre, stripping production to bare wire and leaning hard into the lo-fi, venomous spirit of underground black metal.
Mortvary Kvlt is a raw black metal project from Milan, active since 2009. The project channels the deliberately archaic spelling and lo-fi aesthetic of the genre's most primitive wing.

Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian nature and the ancient remains preserved in black bogs, the project channels dark introspection through releases including the album 'UndaR Erþu.'
Moss Gate is a raw black metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2023. They channel primitive, lo-fi raw black metal through a distinctly Finnish underground lens.
California-based Mossen have been practicing uncompromising raw black metal since 2017, stripping the genre down to its most confrontational and lo-fi extremes with a cold, primordial approach that owes little to modern production trends.
Moujahidine is a raw black metal project from the Netherlands, active since 2017. The project delivers primitive, lo-fi black metal with an intentionally provocative name.
