Grisvelos is a one-man black/death metal project from Osorno, Los Lagos, Chile, created by Alfredo Torres, who also plays bass and backing vocals in the black/thrash band Degotten. The project debuted in August 2020 with the full-length "Desperatio," a nearly 50-minute album drawing from the influence of Morbid Angel, Immolation, and Marduk while channeling the band's description of Osorno as a cold, decadent city into music that blends ferocity with melodic, nostalgic atmosphere.

Grisatre is a depressive black metal project from Foret-la-Folie in Normandy, active since 2012. Their home village name — literally 'forest of madness' — provides a fitting origin for their anguished, desolate depressive black metal.
