Brotherhood is a power metal band from Franca, São Paulo, Brazil, formed around 2010–2012 from the ashes of a prior band called Savior. Drawing influence from Blind Guardian, Savatage, and Metallica, the band released their debut album "Where the Gods Collide" (2011) as an independent release and went on to open for Blind Guardian in São Paulo. Their energetic, melodic approach has made them a notable act in the Brazilian power metal underground.

Malung-based heavy/power metal ensemble embracing Norse mythology through bombastic, anthemic compositions since 2012. Their epic, chorus-driven approach to Viking-themed power metal has garnered a substantial following online.
