War metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, formed in 2023, playing raw black/death metal with themes of Satanism and anti-Christianity.

Phoenix's Satanic Gore Procession emerged in 2024 with the full-commitment intensity that raw black metal demands in the desert heat — a city better known for extreme temperatures than extreme metal, but whose isolation and hostility translates naturally into the genre's rawness. The project's name lays out its terms plainly: this is black metal with no interest in subtlety.
Satanic Hammer are a black metal duo from Tucumán, Argentina, comprising guitarist Gahoul and vocalist Abighor (Emiliano Albelda), with Gustavo Kanasawa on drums. Formed in 2021, they released the promo "Terror Under the Sign of the Goat" and the EP "Blasphemer" that same year, followed by the full-length "Glorius Satana" on February 13, 2023 — a self-produced, eight-track record drawing on Satanism and left-hand path themes.
Raw black/death metal band from São Carlos, São Paulo, formed in 2015. They released the four-track debut EP Final Holocaust in April 2015 and followed it with You Will Be Gutted in September 2015, both issued independently with themes centered on Satanism, war, and desecration.
Black metal band from Salvador, Bahia, formed in 2001. The band released the demo The Gates of Hell and the Darkness of the Black Abyss in 2005, and later appeared on the 2015 compilation Bahia – True Black Metal – The Land of All Demons. They are signed to Vampiria Records.
Black metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, formed in 2025. Their debut release, the six-track EP Our Legacy Is Dominance, came out in 2025, featuring songs including 'Command of Fury and Hatred', 'Infernal Warmaster', and 'Satanic Power'.
Satanic Squirrel deliver thrash metal from Hamburg with the kind of irreverent humor that their name suggests, combining genuine aggression with tongue-in-cheek absurdity. Formed in 2023, they bring fresh, playful energy to the German thrash revival.
Satanic Torment forge black/death metal from Lahti, combining the atmospheric darkness of black metal with death metal's crushing weight. Active since 2014, they bring dual-genre torment to the Paijat-Hame scene.
