Ajeno is an instrumental sludge and groove metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, known for heavy, riff-driven compositions without vocals. The band released their self-titled EP followed by Justificando el Kaos in November 2024, a three-track record recorded at Estudios Inclan and La Ochava Records.
