Necrolatría is a black metal band from Coronel in Chile's Biobío region, active since the mid-2010s with a catalog rooted in esoteric and misanthropic themes. The band self-compiled their early recordings on the 2020 release Ultimate Prevail of Darkness through Dreadful Records, then issued the full-length Where Light Has No Domain in 2022 — recorded at home in Coronel and released through both Apocalyptic Productions and Iron Bonehead Productions, with drums tracked at Ramses Studio and the record limited to 500 copies. Their sound draws on raw second-wave black metal traditions, with releases also appearing on Street Metal Blasphemy.

Necrológio is a three-piece death metal band — vocalist Mike Douglas, multi-instrumentalist C. Nunes, and drummer Marcelo Pettinatti — whose debut album Morte (2022) was tracked partly live at Dakota Studio in Santos and completed at a home studio. The record moves through eight tracks of blunt, unornamented death metal with a raw, rehearsal-room directness that suits the band's name, which translates simply as obituary.
