Exocet is a heavy metal band from Buenos Aires, formed in 1991 and named after the Exocet missile used during the Falkland Islands conflict, a reference that underscores their politically engaged lyrical stance. The band built a discography across the 1990s and 2000s that includes Mercado del Dolor (1995), La Cura de la Demencia (2000), and Luchar Hasta Morir (2002), before taking a hiatus from 2010 to 2017. Their current lineup consists of vocalist Diego Abrego, bassist Sebastian Mendoza, guitarist Paulo Avila, and drummer Gaston Gallo, and they have been regular participants in the Festival Nunca Más.
Progressive metal and thrash band from Finland, active since 2012. They blend technical progressive complexity with thrash metal aggression.
Exocrine formed in Bordeaux, France in 2013 under guitarist Sylvain Octor-Perez and have since established themselves as one of the most prolific acts in European technical death metal, signed to Season of Mist after their debut Unreal Existence (2015). Their sound synthesizes the rapid precision of Archspire and Cryptopsy with the progressive leanings of Obscura, producing albums at a consistent pace: Ascension (2017), Molten Giant (2018), Maelstrom (2020), The Hybrid Suns (2022), and Legend (2024). Thematically the band explores philosophy, esotericism, and science fiction, giving their hyper-technical music conceptual weight.
Thrash metal band from Valencia, Spain formed in 2020. They bring sharp-edged thrash riffing to Valencia's Mediterranean metal scene.
