Finem Vitae is a death/doom metal band from Alicante, Spain, formed in 2013. The band — whose Latin name means "end of life" — creates crushing doom/death from the Mediterranean coast.
Finger Eleven began in Burlington, Ontario as Rainbow Butt Monkeys before evolving into one of Canada's most recognizable alternative-rock and hard-rock bands. Tip introduced them under their new name, but The Greyest of Blue Skies gave the group a heavier profile with downcast riffs, angular rhythms, and Scott Anderson's tense vocal presence. The self-titled Finger Eleven brought major mainstream success through "One Thing," while also retaining heavier tracks like "Other Light" and "Good Times." Them vs. You vs. Me delivered "Paralyzer," a sleek, danceable rock single that became the band's biggest crossover hit, and later albums such as Life Turns Electric, Five Crooked Lines, and Adrenaline continued their hard-rock path. Finger Eleven fit metal-adjacent scope through alternative metal, post-grunge heaviness, and a catalog that often favors thick guitars and darker moods. Their best songs balance precision and emotion: clipped riffs, rhythmic restraint, and choruses that open just enough to let the tension breathe. They are not extreme, but their weight and atmosphere place them firmly in heavy alternative rock.
Fingernails is a thrash/speed metal band from Rome, Italy, active since 1986 — making them one of the longest-running acts in the Italian thrash scene. Their discography spans four decades from their 1985 bootleg and 1986 demo through to The Last Scratch (40th Anniversary edition), documenting an unbroken commitment to classic speed metal.
Finis Mentis is a symphonic metal band from Vantaa, Finland, formed in 2018. The band — whose Latin name means "end of the mind" — layers orchestral arrangements over heavy metal from the Helsinki metropolitan area.

Their lyrical and conceptual focus is described as centered on the relationship between humanity and the natural world.
