Thy Light is a Brazilian black metal project that has garnered significant attention within the metal community for its emotionally charged and atmospheric approach to the genre. Founded in 2005 by multi-instrumentalist Paolo Bruno, known for his work with other bands in the Brazilian metal scene, Thy Light stands as a personal exploration of themes such as depression, sorrow, and the struggles of human existence. Bruno, under the pseudonym Alexander "Witchfinder" Aguiar, performs most of the music on Thy Light's recordings and is credited with composing its mournful, introspective melodies and poignant lyrics.

Thy Light's debut album "Suici.De.Pression," originally released in 2007, introduced listeners to Bruno's haunting vision. It combined raw black metal elements with melancholic ambience, setting the tone for the project's future works. The album was remastered and re-released in 2012, breathing new life into its desolate soundscapes and lyrical despair. The follow-up, "No Morrow Shall Dawn" in 2013, continued the project's introspective journey with a blend of piercing riffs and atmospheric passages, solidifying Thy Light's reputation in the extreme metal subgenre. Although the project's releases are sparse, each output from Thy Light is a profound statement that resonates deeply with fans of depressive black metal.
