ÆGES

CA, US · 2011–present · active
ÆGES is a Los Angeles, California post-hardcore and alternative metal band formed in 2011, featuring members drawn from Pelican, -16-, and The Rise. The band combines heavy, riff-forward guitar work rooted in 90s post-hardcore with melodic desert rock hooks and doom-inflected arrangements. Their 2014 album Above and Down Below is the centerpiece of their catalog, demonstrating an approach that draws from Quicksand, Soundgarden, and Queens of the Stone Age without directly imitating any of them. Their output is relatively limited in volume but appreciated within the underground heavy rock community for its density and craft.

Æolian

ES · 2016–present · active
Æolian is a melodic death metal band founded in Mallorca, Spain in 2016, featuring members with prior experience in the Balearic underground metal scene. Their debut album Silent Witness (2018) introduced an approach blending Gothenburg-influenced melodic death with threads of black metal and folk, and their follow-up The Negationist (2020) on Black Lion Records deepened that template while turning its lyrical focus entirely to environmental destruction and humanity's damage to the natural world. The band has drawn comparisons to Swedish melodic death progenitors while developing its own environmentally-conscious thematic identity. They signed to Black Lion Records ahead of The Negationist's release.
