Alien Syndrome 777 has pursued avant-garde black metal from Cesena in Emilia-Romagna since 2009, pushing beyond conventional boundaries with experimental textures and unconventional song structures. Their videogame-referencing name hints at the alien quality of their deliberately disorienting sonic approach.
Alien Weaponry are a thrash metal trio from Waipu, New Zealand who deliver their ferocious riffs with lyrics sung primarily in te reo Maori, the indigenous language of their homeland. Brothers Henry and Lewis de Jong formed the band as teenagers, channeling Maori history and culture through a lens of Lamb of God and Sepultura-inspired thrash. Their debut 'Tu' earned international acclaim for its unique fusion of thrash aggression with indigenous storytelling and cultural pride.
Alien's Purger is a grindcore/death metal band from Ouro Branco, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed in May 2021 by guitarist Marcão Mamute, vocalist Daniel Índio, and drummer Ildegrind. Their debut full-length "The Korotian's Saga" (2023), released via The Hills Are Dead Records, is a 20-track, 25-minute concept album built around the band's signature themes of aliens and cigars — absurdist subject matter delivered with blasting, no-frills grindcore brutality. The record was engineered and mixed by Bruno Bassani, who also contributed additional instrumentation to the recording.
