Autofobia was a black metal band from Ancud, in the Los Lagos region of southern Chile, active and split-up in 2012. During their brief existence they released two recordings — the EP Misantropía and a self-titled demo — both exploring themes of misanthropy, depression, and anti-Christianity.
One of Prague's longest-running heavy metal acts, Autogen were formed in 1983 and were considered part of the city's metal elite during the late 1980s alongside Arakain and Vitacit. Their history spans multiple active periods from 1983 through to the present, with a style that began in speed metal before broadening into power metal territory.
Boston black metal project exploring themes of self-creation through icy, atmospheric extremity, contributing to New England's quietly thriving black metal scene.
Autoinmune brings industrial metal to Burgos since 2023, channeling mechanical aggression and synthetic textures from one of Castilla y León's historic cities. Their autoimmune metaphor suggests a sound that turns the body's own systems against itself.

Memphis, Tennessee hardcore punk and sludge hybrid with three releases since 2017. Their split with experimental grindcore outfit Knoll demonstrates a willingness to operate at the extreme edge of heavy music from the Bluff City.
Los Angeles groove/progressive metal act blending technical complexity with heavy rhythmic drive, reflecting L.A.'s position as a melting pot for every conceivable metal subgenre.
Cincinnati power metal project whose 2015 single — featuring a collaboration with Dr. Space — blends cosmic exploration with mythological reference. Echoes Of Mount Ida reaches from ancient Troy to the stars.
Pittsburgh death metal duo with two albums since 2018. Esoterica and Chaosophy channel occult philosophy through technical extremity, building a reputation for cerebral brutality from the Steel City.
