2112 is a progressive rock and heavy metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 1986 and named in honour of the Rush album, which they pronounce in Spanish as "Veinti Uno Doce."

3 is an American progressive rock and metal band formed in Woodstock, New York in 1994 by guitarist and vocalist Joey Eppard, his brother Josh Eppard on drums, and bassist Chris Bittner. The band built a reputation through intensive touring, including dates supporting Porcupine Tree, and signed with Metal Blade Records, releasing The End Is Begun in 2007 and The Ghost You Gave to Me in 2011. Their music blends melodic hard rock with progressive architecture and introspective lyricism, placing them alongside acts like Coheed and Cambria in the American progressive rock underground.
Árstíðir is a Reykjavík, Iceland folk and chamber pop trio formed in 2008 by Daníel Auðunsson, Gunnar Már Jakobsson, and Ragnar Ólafsson, whose music draws on classical composition, minimalism, and indie folk built around intricate three-part vocal harmonies. The band gained international attention in 2013 when a video of the trio performing an a cappella Icelandic hymn at a German train station went viral, and the following year they became the first Icelandic act to win the Eiserner Eversteiner European Folk Music Award. Their discography spans albums including Hvel (2015), the collaborative Verloren Verleden (2016) with Anneke van Giersbergen, Nivalis (2018), and Blik (2023). They have remained fully independent throughout their career, operating their own label in Iceland.
