Amputate creates death metal that split between Portugal's Faro District and Zürich, Switzerland, since 2016. Their surgical-violence name drives transnational brutality that bridges southern Portugal's Algarve with Switzerland's largest city.

Dayton death metal project from the Ohio underground.
Raleigh death metal project from the North Carolina underground.
Chandler death metal project from the Arizona underground.

Ampyre is a progressive melodic heavy metal and hard rock band from Reutlingen, Germany, formed in 2015, whose sound evolved from melodic hard rock roots into more progressive and heavy territory. The band brings a polished, melody-forward approach to the Baden-Wurttemberg metal scene.
Amraam channels thrash and groove metal from Rome since 2015, named after the advanced medium-range air-to-air missile. Their military-hardware identity drives a sound of targeted, high-velocity destruction from the Italian capital.
