Providence, Rhode Island sludge and stoner metal project. Nocturnal predatory wisdom rendered in crushing fuzz from the Ocean State.
Alpha Q blends groove and progressive metal with rock from Sibiu since 2022. From the European Capital of Culture 2007, they bring stylistic versatility to Transylvania's metal scene.
Alpha Scorpii was a melodic death metal band from Varginha, Minas Gerais, whose lineup included guitarists, a keyboardist, and a bassist working within the Gothenburg-influenced style prominent in Brazilian melodeath circles. Their 2006 EP "Crimson Sting" stands as their documented output before the band eventually split up.
Alpha Tiger has delivered power metal from Freiberg in Saxony since 2013, building a reputation for muscular, riff-driven power metal that leans more toward Accept's toughness than Helloween's melody. Their predatory name captures the alpha-energy of their Erzgebirge-forged sound.
