Moriquëndi was a power/progressive metal band from Mendoza founded in 1998 by Roly E. Testini (1975–2008), whose songwriting drew from J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology and his own original fantasy stories. The band's debut demo El Último Elfo Oscuro was recorded in January 2001 at Estudios ADN with Aníbal Rivero and Diego Rubio, and the lineup included drummers Marcelo Narváez, guitarists Javier Vildoza and Sebastián Narváez, bassist Gabriel Narváez, and keyboardist Nicolás Sánchez.
Mormoth is a one-person raw black metal and dungeon synth project from Neiva, Colombia, founded in 2023.

Led by guitarist and vocalist Fabrício Moraes, a veteran of the Brasília metal scene through his work in Dark Avenger and several other local acts, Mortaes debuted in 2007 with the album "Obsessive Visions" on Die Hard Records.
