My Ruin was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1999 by rapper-turned-metal vocalist Tairrie B and guitarist Mick Murphy, shortly after the dissolution of her previous band Tura Satana.

The band built a particularly devoted following in the United Kingdom through consistent touring.
Ringwood, New Jersey heavy metal band My Saviour have been active since 2007, crafting traditional heavy metal with classic song structures and the no-frills directness of a band that lets riffs do the talking.

My Sleeping Karma formed in the Aschaffenburg region of Germany in 2005 as a side project of stoner rock band The Great Escape, eventually becoming their primary focus. The entirely instrumental group blends psychedelic rock and stoner rock with imagery drawn from Hindu and Buddhist traditions, releasing a series of studio albums including Satya (2008), Soma (2011), Moksha (2015), and Atma (2022). Their meditative, rhythm-driven approach to heavy music has earned them a dedicated international following.
