Lucifer's Doom is a black/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, active since 2015. The band released a self-titled EP in June 2015, a three-track CDr debut that blends avant-garde black metal atmospherics with mournful doom sensibilities. Their sound features high baritone vocals over heavy, slow-burning riffs with lyrical themes drawn from Christian eschatology.
German thrash metal act formed in 2018, delivering relentless speed and aggression. Their sound channels classic thrash metal's razor-sharp riffing and breakneck tempos through a modern lens.
Luciferi was a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, whose sole verified release is the 1994 demo cassette Thy Fullmoon Rites, featuring five tracks including "Cold Shadows over Transylvanian Moon" and "In the Mystic Fire of Hades." The demo was recorded by a two-core lineup operating under the pseudonyms Lord of the Darkness and Beelzebuth Guardian. The band also appeared on the Teach Your Soul with Fire underground compilation tape before dissolving.
Portuguese black metal and dungeon synth project from Lisbon, formed in 2024 and blending blackened intensity with medieval synth atmospherics. Their name channels Luciferian musicality through the dual lens of extreme metal and retro-synthetic darkness.
Luciferiano is a black metal band from Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, operating independently with lyrical themes centered on anti-Christianity. The band remains active in the Joinville underground metal scene, performing at events such as the Espíritos Amaldiçoados black metal showcase in March 2025 alongside Alocer and Zorthis.

Arizona raw black metal act Lucifixion have been operating in deliberate obscurity since 1996, devoted to primitive, unpolished black metal that refuses any concession to comfort.
New Jersey's Lucifugo have been casting cold, atmospheric black metal out of Ridgefield Park since 2006, with a sound that draws on European tradition while maintaining a distinctly American bleakness.
German black metal project from Saarland, active since 2016 and channeling darkness through raw atmospheric hostility. Their name, meaning 'fleeing the light,' encapsulates the shadowy essence of their black metal approach.
