Valient Thorr formed in Greenville, North Carolina around 2000 to 2001, playing a high-energy brand of heavy rock that merged classic hard rock swagger, Southern rock groove, and metal riffing beneath a science fiction mythology built around the urban legend of Valiant Thor, an alleged Venusian visitor. Vocalist Valient Himself commands the band's chaotic live performances, which helped establish them as a fixture on the American touring circuit. The band released six studio albums, including Total Universe Man (2005) and Immortalizer (2008).

Vulvarine is a five-piece hard rock band from Vienna, Austria, formed in 2019, known for their high-energy rock 'n' roll attack that blends elements of classic heavy metal and punk.

Their second album Fast Lane (2025), released on Napalm Records, arrived alongside recognition from the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards, the country's most prestigious music prize.
