Vegllem was a raw black metal and DSBM project from São Paulo that came and went within 2024, leaving behind a small clutch of recordings including the album Hell — whose tracks "Lord Vampire," "War," and "Catacumba" sketch the project's bleak, lo-fi aesthetic — and a separate release titled Sky Angell. Short-lived even by underground standards, Vegllem has since split up.
