Ghost Guard is a deathcore and metalcore band from Vaasa, Finland, formed in 2023, blending the brutality of death metal with the rhythmic breakdowns and intensity of metalcore.

Ghost Iris are a Copenhagen progressive metalcore band whose music combines djent precision, melodic choruses, and modern metal aggression. Formed in 2012, the group emerged from Denmark's heavy scene with Anecdotes of Science and Soul before Blind World, Apple of Discord, Comatose, and later work developed a more international sound. Their songs often move between tightly syncopated riffs, sharp breakdowns, atmospheric guitar layers, and vocals that shift from clean hooks to harsh, rhythmically locked attacks. Ghost Iris fit metal scope directly through metalcore, progressive metalcore, and djent, with an emphasis on technical control rather than loose heaviness. The band has a clear sense of modern production: drums are precise, guitars are percussive, and low-end movement gives the songs a mechanical drive. Yet the melodic parts keep the music from becoming purely clinical. Their best tracks use contrast to widen the impact, letting airy choruses rise out of dense riff patterns before snapping back into weight. Ghost Iris represent a Scandinavian strain of contemporary metalcore that is polished, heavy, and built around both atmosphere and rhythmic discipline.
