Doctor Midnight & The Mercy Cult was a Scandinavian heavy metal supergroup formed in Oslo, Norway in 2009. The lineup united former Turbonegro vocalist Hank von Helvete, multi-instrumentalist Tim Sköld (Marilyn Manson, KMFDM), guitarists Anders Odden (Cadaver, Satyricon) and Audun Stengel (Apoptygma Berzerk), and drummer David Husvik (Extol). The band signed to Season of Mist and released one album, I Declare: Treason (2011), before disbanding.
Edge of Paradise is a Los Angeles-based heavy metal band formed in 2011 by vocalist Margarita Monet and guitarist Dave Bates.

They have toured extensively with Lacuna Coil, Symphony X, DragonForce, and Amaranthe, releasing six albums through Prophecy (2025).
Electric Age is a hard rock and heavy metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, that began as a Deep Purple tribute act before developing their own arena-oriented sound with '70s-influenced guitar work.

Ethimos is a Buenos Aires heavy metal and hard rock band whose lineup includes vocalist Romina Briglia, guitarists Sergio Morkevicius, keyboardist Pamela Ortiz, bassist Fabián Moreno, and drummer Diego Sanabria.

Excellence is a melodic heavy metal and hard rock band from Ijuí, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, whose sound blends classic 1980s hard rock with traditional heavy metal. The band released their debut album "Against the Odds" in 2010 and featured keyboardist Fábio Ribeiro, known for his work with Angra and Shaman, while two of their founding members, bassist Robson Van Der Ham and drummer Marcos Rigoli, were among the victims of the tragic Kiss nightclub fire in Santa Maria in January 2013.
Final Road is a melodic heavy metal and hard rock band from Buenos Aires who blend 1980s hard rock with contemporary heavy metal. Their 2022 EP "Side B" features six tracks including "Away from you," "Judges of the west," and "Beautiful pain," released independently on Bandcamp.
Gallo Azhuu is a hard rock and heavy metal band from São Luís, Maranhão, whose name translates loosely as "blue rooster" in a Portuguese psychedelic spelling, drawing on the blues-heavy tradition of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and ZZ Top. The band released a self-titled debut in 2013, followed by "Totem" in 2015, and their third album "Treva" in 2019, recorded at KM4 Studio — a release noted for its stoner metal weight. All three records are sung entirely in Portuguese.
Formed in 2005 by cousins Landon Milbourn, Tyler Baker, and Brandon Qualkenbush in tribute to Baker's brother who died that year, Goodbye June relocated from their home state to Nashville, Tennessee in 2009 and built a reputation on a roots-oriented hard rock sound drawing from AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and the Black Keys. Their 2017 label debut Magic Valley on Interscope was followed by Community Inn and See Where the Night Goes, the latter reaching number one on the UK Rock Chart in 2022. The trio have accumulated over 110 million Spotify streams and contributed music to a national Budweiser campaign.
Gunfire 76 is a side project of Wednesday 13 vocalist Joseph Poole, formed in North Carolina in 2009 alongside guitarist Todd Youth as an outlet for unadorned rock and roll influences including KISS, the New York Dolls, and The Stooges — stripped of the horror themes that define Poole's main act. Their debut album Casualties & Tragedies was released in October 2009, and the project toured the UK and US in its early years. The band represents a more straightforward, glam-inflected rock register distinct from Poole's primary catalog.
