Serpentine Dominion is an American death metal supergroup formed in 2009 by Killswitch Engage lead guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, Cannibal Corpse vocalist George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher, and former The Black Dahlia Murder drummer Shannon Lucas. The project originated when Dutkiewicz composed material specifically tailored to Fisher's vocal style, with lyrics written by Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach. The band released their sole self-titled album in October 2016 through Metal Blade Records, a record that balanced Fisher's brutal death metal delivery with Dutkiewicz's trademark melodic and groove-driven riffing.
Serpentine Path is a doom and death metal band formed in New York in 2011, built around all three members of the cult doom act Unearthly Trance together with Tim Bagshaw, a founding member of Electric Wizard and Ramesses, and later augmented by Stephen Flam of New York doom-death legends Winter. The project's sound leaned toward a slow, crushing death-doom approach heavier and more deliberate than any of the members' previous bands. The band released a self-titled debut in 2012 and followed with Emanations in 2014 before going on hiatus in 2016, with Bagshaw shifting focus to With the Dead.

Over their career they shared stages with international acts including Megadeth, Overkill, Testament, Destruction, and Sodom, with vocalist Guillermo Romero and bassist Pablo Lescano among their longtime members.
