Ammotrack plays heavy metal and hard rock from Skövde since 2016. Their ammunition-railroad name drives explosive compositions from this Västergötland military-garrison city.
Amnesy brings heavy metal from the Norman capital of Rouen since 2023, their amnesia-inflected name suggesting music that makes listeners forget everything else. Their traditional metal approach adds to Normandy's growing roster of classic metal acts.
