Amen Corner (Brazil) is a seminal black metal band formed in Curitiba, Paraná, in 1992. They are distinct from the 1960s Welsh pop group of the same name.
Emerging from the second wave of black metal, they helped define the 'Brazilian sound' alongside peers like Mystifier and Sarcófago, prioritizing occultism and atmosphere over technical speed. Their early work, particularly 'Jachol Ve Tehilá', is celebrated for its ritualistic pacing and incorporation of subtle keyboard textures that enhance the 'dark' aesthetic without becoming symphonic. Throughout their career, they have maintained a steadfastly underground presence, evolving their sound to include more death and doom metal elements while keeping the core blasphemous themes intact. Critical consensus views them as a vital link in the South American metal lineage, praised for their authentic, unpolished production and consistent dedication to the occult black metal subgenre. Their 2024 release, 'Written by the Devil', demonstrates their longevity and continued relevance in the global extreme metal community.
