Danger Core is a heavy metal band from Prnjavor, Bosnia and Herzegovina whose 2013 EP Darkness Will Remain introduced them as a band influenced by Nevermore, Iron Maiden, Savatage, and Pantera.

Dargaard is a neoclassical darkwave project from Mistelbach, Lower Austria, founded in 1997 by Tharen, formerly of black metal acts Abigor and Amestigon.
