Alexander Layer explores progressive and power metal from Caserta, the city of the Bourbon Royal Palace near Naples, since 2019. Their regal surroundings seem to inform the grandeur and technical ambition of their southern Italian metal.
Alexandra Zerner explores progressive metal and rock, born in Sofia, Bulgaria before relocating to Brno in the Czech Republic, active since 2009. This cross-border artistic journey brings a uniquely Central-Eastern European perspective to progressive heavy music.
Alexandre Rocha is a solo progressive metal project from Bauru, São Paulo state, Brazil, launched in 2021 after Rocha spent years composing and playing in local metal bands. His debut album "Viewpoints" (2021) was fully performed, produced, and recorded by Rocha at Mister Rec Vintage Studios in Bauru, featuring seven tracks of technically oriented progressive metal with a strong emphasis on composition and dynamics. The project reflects a one-man approach to the genre that prioritizes melodic depth alongside technical proficiency.
Indianapolis metalcore act with a substantial catalog stretching from 2009 through the 2020s. Their sound evolved from the post-hardcore boom era into a more polished, arena-ready modern metalcore approach.
