Lorna Shore erupted from the New Jersey deathcore underground into global phenomenon status with the arrival of vocalist Will Ramos, whose inhuman vocal range spans guttural lows to piercing highs that broke the internet via their 2021 single 'To the Hellfire.'

Lorna Shore have become arguably the biggest band in modern extreme metal, selling out arenas worldwide.

Los Alevosos Víctimas de Víctimas are a Buenos Aires band formed in 2006 whose self-described style — rock hardcore humanista poesia rockmetal tragicopopular — reflects their shift from aggressive early material toward alternative rock. Their debut release El audio del soplido, recorded in 2002 and released in 2006, featured Agustín Chaumont on vocals, Martín Ayerbe on guitars, Federico Chaumont on bass, and Diego Momdjian on drums. Subsequent releases include Postales animadas (2006) and Mi asma mi alma (2013).
Los Antiguos is a Buenos Aires stoner metal band founded in late 2012 by Pato Larralde (vocalist of Sauron) alongside members of Avernal and Cruzdiablo, with lyrical themes centered on aliens and personal experience rather than the high fantasy of their other projects. They released the EP Simple in May 2013, followed by the debut album Madera Prohibida in May 2015 and the second album Oro para las naves in May 2019, the latter issued in a limited special edition packaged as a replica UFO. The band has been a regular presence at Buenos Aires festivals including Noiseground and Viaje de Agua.
Spanish heavy/power metal band from Bernardos, forging muscular riffs and anthemic choruses since 2012. Their sound channels classic European heavy and power metal through a Castilian lens.
Los Buscadores del Movimiento Perpetuo (The Seekers of Perpetual Motion) are a Buenos Aires stoner metal band formed in 2011 who blend dense, slow-tuned metal with the atmosphere of cult horror cinema. They released the album Una de Zombies in 2011, followed by Rendiran Culto a la Muerte in 2013 and Mil Días de Viaje in November 2014, and made their full catalog available for free download on Bandcamp.
