Finnish death metal and grindcore band from Nurmes in eastern Finland, formed in 2014. They deliver butchered death-grind from the remote Karelian countryside.
Butequeiros is a crossover thrash band from Nova Odessa, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2018.

Spanish black metal band from Bilbao, formed in 2010. They channel atmospheric black metal from the Basque Country's industrial capital.
