WeedThrash is a thrash metal band from Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro, formed in 2016 with a politically charged lyrical focus that touches on drugs, social resistance, and anti-authoritarianism. The band released their full-length Intoxicado in 2020, an eleven-track record that delivers straightforward thrash riffing with Spanish-language vocals. They remain active and unsigned, continuing to release material independently.
Weedthrone was a stoner/doom metal project from São Paulo, Brazil, anchored by guitarist and bassist Nattens Man on Mars alongside vocalist Mellissa Rainbow and drummer Bitch Hunter. The project released the five-track album "Temple of Superdose" in January 2022, recorded the previous year, which included a cover of the 1973 track "What to Do" by Brazilian artist Vanusa.

Formed in DeKalb, Illinois in 2004, Weekend Nachos established themselves as one of the most uncompromising forces in American powerviolence, combining blast-beat ferocity with lurching sludge breakdowns and unflinching lyrical confrontation. After a debut full-length on Cowabunga Records, the band released four albums through Relapse Records — Unforgivable (2009), Worthless (2011), Still (2013), and the farewell Apology (2016) — before their 2017 retirement and eventual 2023 reunion. Their influence on the intersection of powerviolence and sludge has been substantial.
