Aliwen is a melodic metalcore band from Quilmes, in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, formed in 2016. The band self-released an EP in 2017 under their own name, establishing themselves as an independent act within Argentina's growing metalcore scene.
Formed in California in 2014, Interloper is a melodic and progressive metalcore outfit featuring guitarists from Rings of Saturn and Ænimus alongside live members associated with The Faceless. Signed to Nuclear Blast Records, their debut full-length Search Party demonstrated a technically demanding approach rooted in layered melodic riffing and shifting rhythmic structures.
Melodic metalcore band from Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro state, formed in 2015 with a lineup of vocalist Sidney Junior, guitarist Vinicius Crivellaro, bassist Fernando Thomaz Neves, and drummer Gabriel Guimarães. Their debut release Skirmish, a nine-track album produced by Gus Monsanto, appeared on May 21, 2015, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Celo Oliveira.
Wovenwar formed in Southern California in 2013 as a direct consequence of the arrest of As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis for soliciting the murder of his wife, with four of that band's remaining members — guitarists Nick Hipa and Phil Sgrosso, bassist Josh Gilbert, and drummer Jordan Mancino — joining Oh, Sleeper vocalist Shane Blay. The group's self-titled debut (2014, Metal Blade) and follow-up Honor Is Dead (2016) pursued melodic heavy metal and alternative metalcore territory, finding a substantial audience before the original members returned to As I Lay Dying in 2018.
