Apollyon was a heavy metal band from Formosa, Goiás, Brazil, formed in 2017.

Apologize for Chaos delivers heavy metal and thrash metal from the Picard city of Amiens since 2022, their sarcastic name suggesting a band that feels no remorse for the sonic devastation they create. Their northern French origins feed a sound of controlled aggression.
Apologoethia channels black metal from Barcelona since 2017, contributing to the Catalan capital's remarkably deep well of extreme metal projects. Their sound explores the philosophical dimensions of darkness that their name evokes.
