Abstracta has explored progressive metal from Rome since 2016, their name capturing the cerebral, non-literal quality of compositions that prize complexity over direct impact. The Eternal City's multi-layered cultural legacy provides fitting context for their intellectually ambitious approach.
Abstracted is a progressive death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 2013, who began in technical thrash territory before evolving into a dense, multi-layered sound drawing comparisons to Between the Buried and Me, Persefone, and Cynic. Signed to M-Theory Audio, they released the acclaimed debut full-length 'Atma Conflux' in 2022, a 64-minute concept record balancing technical aggression with esoteric themes, followed by 'Hiraeth' in February 2026, featuring guest appearances from Chaney Crabb of Entheos.
