DK · 2010–present · active
Pet the Preacher was a Copenhagen, Denmark hard rock trio formed in 2010 by vocalist-guitarist Christian Hede Madsen, bassist Torben Wæver Pedersen, and drummer Christian Von Larsen, mixing 1970s blues-rock, stoner metal riffs, and prog-rock arrangements into a dense, slow-burning sound. The band released two albums — The Banjo (2011) and The Cave and the Sunlight (2014) — before disbanding in August 2015. Their brief run produced a small but regarded catalog within the Danish heavy rock underground.
São Paulo, BR · 2017–present · split-up
Platina was a melodic heavy metal and hard rock band from São Paulo whose name carried echoes of the legendary 1980s Platina act that featured future Dr. Sin members. This newer incarnation pursued polished, hook-driven melodic metal before disbanding after a brief run, leaving their recordings available through their Bandcamp and Spotify presence.
Arequipa, PE · active
Purple AQP is a heavy metal and hard rock solo project by Victor Calvo Llerena, based in Arequipa, Peru. Drawing inspiration from classic heavy metal and hard rock of the 1970s and 1980s, the project released its debut demo Empire Arise in 2019, followed by the full-length Rise and Fall of the Inca's Empire in 2022. The name combines a nod to Deep Purple with AQP, the airport code and common abbreviation for Arequipa.
