Antireligion is a São Paulo-based one-man black/thrash metal project formed in 2011, rooted firmly in the old-school tradition of the genre. The project has released demos including 'Total Desolation' and 'Demo II: Unholy Blasphemies 2012–2014', channeling the raw, aggressive spirit of early Brazilian and European black/thrash pioneers. Lyrically, the project centers on anti-religious themes consistent with the second-wave black metal tradition.
Antisacrum practices black metal from Saint Petersburg since 2017. Their anti-sacred name drives compositions of deliberate desecration from the city of the Hermitage and the Winter Palace.

A stalwart of the Basque metal underground since 1998, Antisepsia has been delivering heavy and thrash metal from the small Gipuzkoan town of Legazpi for over two decades. Their longevity speaks to a deep commitment to the genre in one of Spain's most active metal regions.
Antisilence merges death and thrash metal from Istanbul since 2020. Their noise-embracing name drives compositions that reject quietude through dual-genre aggression from the Turkish megalopolis.
