A Ghost Named Alice are a power and progressive metal outfit from Zell am See, Austria, blending melodic guitar work with a theatrical, driving energy. Their 2018 album It Feels Like Suicide and the 2021 follow-up A Room for My Enemies show a band navigating the tension between soaring hooks and heavier progressive textures, with the track 'Wolfchant' drawing the most attention.

A Berlin-based power/death metal band active from 2010 to 2015, A Pocket Sized Sun took their name from a Tiamat song and applied it to music that deliberately avoided conventional song structures in favor of melodic development and variation. Their sole release, the Fallout EP, mixed melodic death metal riffing with power metal sensibility and was mixed and mastered at Winter Solitude Studios.
