Amnesie is a death metal and grindcore band from Rostock, Germany, active since 2004, delivering the brutal, high-speed assault characteristic of the grindcore-death metal crossover.

Among Rats are an old-school death metal and grindcore band from Ohlsdorf in Upper Austria, active since 2011 with releases including the self-titled EP, Intact World (2013), Game Over (2015), and A.R. (2016). Their sound is rooted in the blunt, short-format extremity of classic grindcore, and they continue to release new material as recently as 2024.
