Acido is a heavy metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2020, whose Spanish name meaning 'acid' hints at a corrosive, no-holds-barred approach to heavy metal. The band operates from Spain's capital city, one of the Iberian Peninsula's most active metal centers.

Acrophobia plays heavy and thrash metal from Genoa, the Ligurian port city, since 2017. Named after the fear of heights — ironic for a city built on steep hillsides — their sound pairs the classic twin attacks of heavy and thrash metal with Mediterranean intensity.
Acrum plays heavy metal from Władysławowo on the tip of the Hel Peninsula in Pomerania since 2021. From this Baltic seaside resort at Poland's northernmost point, they forge classic heavy metal with a salt-air edge.
