Amras Numenesse crafts symphonic black metal from İzmir since 2018. Their double-Tolkien name — combining an Elf prince with a variant of Númenor — drives orchestrally enhanced compositions from Turkey's Aegean metropolis.

Amud is a Christian black metal (unblack metal) band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed around 2019 and still active.
