Hranice-based Panoptiko has been blending Czech folk traditions with heavy metal and hard rock since 2008. Their use of regional musical motifs alongside crunchy riffs reflects the Moravian border region's rich cultural heritage filtered through a metal lens.
Třinec's Panter has been delivering straightforward Czech heavy metal since 2010, named with the same predatory intent as their Silesian steel-town origins suggest. Their blue-collar approach to classic metal resonates with the industrial character of their northeastern corner of the country.
Los Angeles's Panther arrived in 2022 with a dedication to heavy metal and hard rock that prioritizes hooks and power over trend-chasing. Formed in the fertile LA underground, they deliver the kind of straightforward heavy metal that trusts strong songwriting to do the work.

Parth Gallen was a power and speed metal band from Natal active from 2001 to 2005, drawing on fantasy worlds drawn from video games, anime, and epic fiction — references to universes like World of Warcraft and Castlevania ran through their early material. In 2024 the surviving members issued Burning Swans, a collection built from tapes recorded at a 2017 reunion session featuring vocalist Davison Pegado, guitarists Christophe Freire and Roberto Phrankson, drummer T-Rash, and bassist André Rocha.
