Human Impact are a New York noise-rock supergroup formed in 2019, welding Chris Spencer's Unsane fury to Jim Coleman's Cop Shoot Cop-derived industrial electronics. The debut lineup added the Swans rhythm section of Chris Pravdica and Phil Puleo; their self-titled debut appeared on Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings in 2020, followed by Gone Dark (2024). By 2024 the rhythm section had turned over to ex-Daughters drummer Jon Syverson and ex-Made Out of Babies bassist Eric Cooper.

Pitch Black Forecast is an American metal supergroup formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 2005 (originally as Absentee) around ex-Mushroomhead vocalist Jason Popson and drummer Gene Hoglan (Strapping Young Lad, Death, Dark Angel, Testament), who met in 2004 while Popson sold merch on a Strapping Young Lad/Meshuggah tour. Rounded out by former Integrity bassist Steve Rauckhorst and guitarists Rob Reinard and Tom Shaffner, the band plays a groove-heavy blend of metalcore and thrash. Their catalogue spans the debut Absentee (2008) through Burning in Water... Drowning in Flame (2012) and As the World Burns (2014), with guest turns from Randy Blythe, M. Shadows, Devin Townsend and Ringworm's Human Furnace.

Nine Inch Nails is Trent Reznor's industrial rock project, running from Pretty Hate Machine (1989) through The Downward Spiral, The Fragile, With Teeth, Hesitation Marks and Bad Witch. Atticus Ross joined as an official co-member in 2016 after years as Reznor's key collaborator and co-composer on their film scores. The catalog is built on layered, distorted programming and guitar — "industrial-strength noise over a pop framework" — distinct from the ambient instrumental Ghosts series the band also releases under its own name.

Giraffe Tongue Orchestra is an American rock/alternative-metal supergroup founded in 2012 by guitarist Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan, melding hard rock and progressive metal.

Beta Satan is a Copenhagen band that grew out of the remnants of Tiger Tunes, pairing 'festive hard rock' and post-punk with danceable electro and high-pitched, new-rave synth tones. Their 2008 debut Girls (Crunchy Frog) was a fast, arrogant, complex record whose lineup overlaps heavily with The Malpractice. The five-piece unites drummer Klaus Q. Hedegaard Nielsen and singer Kåre Rolf Hansen from Tiger Tunes with guitarist/I Am Bones frontman Johannes Gammelby, baritone guitarist Kenneth Nørby Andersen and keyboardist Morten Riis.

Better Lovers is an American metalcore and chaotic hardcore band formed in 2023 in Buffalo, New York, uniting three former members of Every Time I Die (Jordan Buckley, Steve Micciche, Clayton Holyoak) with guitarist/producer Will Putney and vocalist Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan. The group released the EP God Made Me an Animal (2023) and its debut full-length Highly Irresponsible in October 2024 through SharpTone Records. Puciato fronted the band from its formation until the two parties amicably parted ways in February 2026.

Retox was formed in San Diego in 2011 by vocalist Justin Pearson and drummer Gabe Serbian, who had already spent years detonating grindcore convention together in The Locust. Trading that band's sci-fi costumes for stripped-down nihilist hardcore, Retox specialized in short, sharp blasts of noise-punk — their Ipecac debut Ugly Animals burns through eleven tracks in about thirteen minutes. Two further albums, YPLL (2013) and Beneath California (2015), followed on Epitaph before Pearson and guitarist Michael Crain carried the lineage into Dead Cross with Dave Lombardo and Mike Patton.

Qui are a Los Angeles noise-rock group formed in 2000 by Paul Christensen (drums/vocals) and Matt Cronk (guitar/vocals) as a guitar-and-drums duo mixing punk, noise and experimental rock with tight vocal harmonies. In 2006, after a run of guest appearances, David Yow of The Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid joined as full-time vocalist, fronting the 2007 album Love's Miracle. That record was released on Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings.

Wetnurse was a Manhattan, New York City experimental metal/hardcore band active in the 2000s, releasing a self-titled album (2004) and Invisible City (2008, Seventh Rule Recordings, produced and mixed by Martin Bisi at BC Studios). Their sound fused early-hardcore urgency, AmRep-style noise-rock abrasion, death-metal heft, and classic-rock melodicism, with the band citing touchstones like Sonic Youth, Helmet, Voivod, Botch, Unsane, and Mr. Bungle. Drummer Curran Reynolds also later joined Today Is the Day; vocalist Gene Fowler has since passed away.

Bologna Violenta is the noise/electrogrind project of Treviso violinist and multi-instrumentalist Nicola Manzan, founded in 2005. Early releases built distorted guitar, strings and electronic drums around samples from 1970s Italian poliziottesco cinema; the project expanded into a duo in 2015 with drummer Alessandro Vagnoni and later shifted toward violin-led arrangements on Cortina (2017) and Bancarotta Morale (2020), with 2026's OBLOMOVISMO returning to its cybergrind roots. Manzan has also worked as a sideman for Baustelle and Il Teatro degli Orrori and collaborated with J. Randall of Agoraphobic Nosebleed.
