Abjeto is an experimental black metal project from São Paulo that began as a solo venture by guitarist and vocalist Mario Albino before evolving into an improvisation trio with the additions of Rafael Lennert and Alice Duarte. Their approach fuses raw and atmospheric black metal with improvised, free-form structures rooted in mysticism and introspection. The band has released several recordings through Bandcamp including Conclave, Dialética do Caos, and Argumento VI.
