Blasart is a black/death metal band from Santiago, Chile, founded by guitarist Eduardo Vera, who had previously played in the brutal death metal group Orategod. The band debuted with the full-length The Art of Blasphemy in 2008, followed by the Rebellion Abyss Chaos EP in 2014 and the Depravatus EP in 2022; their sophomore full-length Depravatus Christianis Sacris was released through Czech label Lavadome Productions in March 2026.

The band is not to be confused with a separate Blasfemador project from Alfenas, Minas Gerais.
