Their debut EP Archaic arrived in 2014, followed by the full-lengths Aphotic (2015) and Terraforming (2017), before they signed to Transcending Obscurity for Protosapien (2020), widely praised as their most focused and accomplished record.

Jurassic Leaf is an instrumental doom/sludge/stoner metal band from Lille, France, whose album Groovosaur (2016) delivers six tracks of crushing, groove-oriented instrumental metal. Their prehistoric-themed compositions have earned praise as an instrumental juggernaut of captivating, eye-melting chugs.
Los Angeles stoner/doom act Jurassic Witch conjure a prehistoric-weight heaviness — low-tuned, fuzz-drenched riffs moving at tectonic pace through a haze of amplifier worship. Formed in 2021, they fit naturally into LA's vibrant heavy underground.
Just is a heavy metal band from Hungary that delivers aggressive, hard-hitting compositions rooted in the Central European metal tradition. Their approach to heavy music channels the energy and intensity that characterizes Hungary's growing metal scene.

Justabeli are a death/black metal band from Diadema, São Paulo, Brazil, active since 2001, whose early work was rooted in brutal death metal before incorporating increasingly aggressive black metal elements.
