Warpig formed in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada in 1968 from members of several earlier local rock groups, and recorded a debut album in 1972 that stands as an early example of psychedelic proto-metal characterized by heavy riffing, organ-driven arrangements, and a raw, blues-rooted intensity. The album spent decades in obscurity before collector interest and high resale prices prompted a reunion in 2004, cementing the band's retrospective reputation as an overlooked artifact of North American heavy rock's earliest years.
Warpride is an epic melodic heavy metal band from Guarulhos, São Paulo, formed in 2013, drawing influence from classic European power and traditional metal. The band released the EP "The Cult of the Mystic Circle" in 2016, recorded and mastered at Masterpiece Studios in Guarulhos and produced by Pedro Esteves. Their sound combines grandiose arrangements with the melodic sensibility of the NWOBHM and European power metal traditions.
Warred was founded in São Paulo by guitarists Arthur Ernandes and Rodrigo Andrade, who built the band around a shared passion for classic acts like Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Judas Priest. They released the EP "Wild Legion" in 2013 and went on to record their debut full-length "The Siren" in 2022, a 12-track album that marked a shift toward a heavier melodic metal and metalcore sound. Singer Pedro Mion joined the band as a key creative collaborator on the album's compositions.
