Amoteph plays heavy metal from Gällivare, a remote mining town in Swedish Lapland above the Arctic Circle, since 2003. Over two decades from one of Sweden's most northern settlements, they deliver classic heavy metal forged in polar extremity.
Amoth explores progressive and heavy metal from Helsinki since 2011, their Tolkien-derived name referencing a Quenya word for 'uprising.' Over a decade of activity in the Finnish capital, they have built a reputation for ambitious, classically informed heavy metal.

Amphigory merges death, thrash, and heavy metal from Eggenfelden in Lower Bavaria since 2020. Named after the literary term for a deliberately nonsensical composition, they bring a playful chaos to their triple-genre approach from rural Bavaria.
A death/progressive/groove metal band from Turnhout, active in the Antwerp-region underground metal scene and releasing music independently through their Bandcamp page under the handle amphis1.

Amphoteros plays heavy metal from the village of Nagyigmánd in Komárom-Esztergom County, a truly unlikely origin point for metal that they have called home since 2019. Their name, derived from chemistry, suggests a dual nature reflected in their musical approach.
