Intricate Progressive / Alternative Metal out of Texas.
Num is a groove metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, whose sound blends thrash, djent, and alternative metal influences into a dense, rhythmically focused attack. The band released three albums in rapid succession — NUM (2014), Desarreglos (2015), and Lo Que Sangra (2017) — building a reputation in the Argentine underground metal scene.
Num Skull was a thrash and death metal band from Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, formed in 1985 by guitarist Tom Brandner. The band developed a sound rooted in the influence of Slayer, Exodus, and early Bay Area thrash, appearing on metal compilations in the late 1980s but never releasing a proper full-length during their initial run, with a completed 1991 album going officially unreleased. The band was active intermittently across several revivals through the 1990s and 2000s before splitting for the final time in the early 2020s.

Numenorean is a Canadian post-black metal band founded in 2011 by twin brothers Byron and Brandon Lemley, rooted in the atmospheric and melodic tendencies of European post-black metal. Their debut album Home (2016) received widespread critical attention for its marriage of fragile, emotionally raw songwriting with waves of distortion and layered texture, earning placement in year-end lists across the metal press. A second album, Adore, followed and further explored the tension between beauty and harshness that defines the band's approach.
Numento is a progressive death metal band from Helsinki, Finland, distinguished by the versatile vocals of Katri H-A, who ranges from operatic cleans to deep growls, accompanied by the eerie tones of the kantele, Finland's national instrument. Their releases including The Antimatter Fantasy showcase a unique fusion of extreme metal and Finnish folk instrumentation.
