I am certain I have seen a few black dudes on the photos of some more obscure Brazillian death/thrash bands from the 80`s but I cannot recall the names right now.
Oh, and there is also Mystifier...

Black Dethe (they released only demos though)
And I'm not sure if the dude in the MA photo of Death Mask is black, latino or both.
