Inania Regna is a blackened death metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2019, merging the atmospheric hostility of black metal with death metal's crushing weight. The band's name — Latin for "empty kingdoms" — reflects the desolate grandeur of their sound.
Inanimalia is a melodic death metal band from Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, originally formed around 2016 by guitarist Rafael Cazuza alongside vocalist Alessandra Lodoli and bassist Thales Carosia. Their debut EP "A Message" introduced a sound rooted in straightforward death metal that evolved over time to incorporate elements of doom, groove, and progressive metal. The current lineup—also featuring guitarists Henrique Manreza and Marcelo Gratão alongside drummer Vagner Venâncio—pursues longer, more melodic compositions than the band's earlier material.

Inanna was a death metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2000 by guitarist Diego Ilabaca and vocalist/bassist Max Neira, drawing on Lovecraftian horror, ancient mythology, and progressive death metal influences in the vein of Morbid Angel and Cynic. Over a 25-year run they released three studio albums — Converging Ages (2008), Transfigured in a Thousand Delusions (2012), and Void of Unending Depths (2022, via Memento Mori Records) — before disbanding in August 2025.
