Argorok is a melodic death and groove metal band from Dresden, Germany, formed in 2020, who describe their style as German epic death metal, blending folk, groove, and melodic death metal elements with German-language lyrics. Their catalog includes the 2020 album Usurpator, the 2024 album Obscurum, and singles like Asche und Blut and Gotterdammerung that showcase their evolving sound.
Argoroth merges black metal, death metal, grindcore, and noise from an undisclosed Norwegian location since 1999. Over a quarter century, this chaotic multi-genre project has produced some of the most abrasive, boundary-defying sounds in the Norwegian underground.
Argos channels melodic death and black metal from Orsha in the Vitebsk Region of eastern Belarus since 2009. Named after the mythological city, hundred-eyed giant, or Odysseus's faithful dog, they bring extreme melodicism from a town near the Russian border.
Argos is a heavy metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 2009 with a lineup anchored by vocalist Fabio LaTorre and dual guitarists Reginaldo Barros and Andre de Sá.

They released the EP In the Name of Tragedy in 2009 and gained airplay on São Paulo's Central Rock Radio (107.1 FM).

Arhat delivers groove metal from Kyiv since 2018. Named after the Buddhist concept of one who has attained nirvana, they bring Eastern philosophical depth to rhythmically heavy compositions from Ukraine.
Arhideus delivers technical death metal from Moscow since 2023. Named after the half-brother of Alexander the Great who briefly served as king of Macedon, they bring ancient-world gravitas to modern technical precision.
