Visions of Atlantis formed in Bruck an der Mur, Austria in 2000, establishing themselves as a consistent presence in European symphonic metal through a lengthy catalogue that began with Eternal Endless Infinity (2002). The band has navigated numerous lineup changes over two decades while maintaining a signature sound built on dual male-female vocals, cinematic orchestration, and power metal melodicism. Their nautical pirate-themed era, represented by the Pirates (2022) and Pirates II – Armada (2024) albums, brought renewed commercial attention.

Vista Chino formed in 2010 under the original name Kyuss Lives!, bringing together three former Kyuss members — vocalist John Garcia, drummer Brant Bjork, and bassist Nick Oliveri — alongside Belgian guitarist Bruno Fevery. After a legal challenge from former Kyuss guitarist Josh Homme prohibited the use of the Kyuss name for recordings, the group rebranded as Vista Chino and released their sole album Peace in 2013 before disbanding the following year. The project drew on the desert rock vocabulary the members had helped pioneer in the early 1990s.
