Parabellum was a Colombian extreme metal band from Medellín, which was active in the 1980s. The band was described by Terrorizer magazine, as one of the world's first black metal bands as well as the first extreme metal band from Colombia, and one of the first from all South America. According to writer Emilio Cuesta, Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth—a musician associated with the early Norwegian black metal scene—has said Parabellum and Medellín's Reencarnación were both influential to his own band Mayhem.
