Sumaré, BR · 2023–present · active
Persevera built their 2023 debut "Genesis" unconventionally, releasing each of the album's thirteen tracks as a standalone single across two and a half years before compiling them into a 63-minute full-length. The result is a heavy, dense slab of traditional metal drawing comparisons to Grand Magus, with double rhythm guitars anchoring apocalyptic lyrical imagery drawn from the Book of Revelation.
Buenos Aires, AR · 2024–present · active
Persevere is a symphonic metal project from Buenos Aires, Argentina, fronted by vocalist Christian F. Reina alongside guitarist Gustavo "Yue" López. The band blends orchestral arrangements with progressive metal structures and maintains an active presence on Bandcamp and SoundCloud.

PE · active

Their lyrical themes center on occult and blasphemous imagery in the tradition of the underground Latin American metal scene.
Diadema, BR · 2013–present · active
