Ariel/Kaliban is a power and folk metal band from Palmeira dos Índios, Alagoas, Brazil, founded in 2007 and drawing heavily on Brazilian literature for their Portuguese-language lyrics. Their 2012 EP O Trágico marked a darker turn in their sound, blending power metal structures with flute and folk elements while remaining rooted in literary themes of mortality and the ephemeral. The five-piece lineup features flute alongside guitars and bass, giving their music an uncommon texture within the northeastern Brazilian metal underground.
Arjé is a power metal project from Perico, Jujuy, Argentina, led by multi-instrumentalist David Aguirre. The band's foundational album "Buscando Horizontes" became a touchstone of the Latin American Christian heavy metal underground, later reissued in remastered form through Headlight Productions with bonus tracks.
AshBürn is a power metal band from Vitória, Espírito Santo, formed around 2014–2015 and led by vocalist Heron Ribeiro. The band released the album "You Can Not Kill What Can Never Die" in 2020, recorded and produced by Thiago Bianchi at Fusão VM&T Studios in São Paulo, and has shared stages with established Brazilian metal acts including Almah (featuring ex-Angra vocalist Edu Falaschi) and Noturnall.
