Black metal and grindcore band from Manaus, Amazonas, active from 2016 until their dissolution. Operating out of the Amazon region — an unconventional home for extreme metal — they blended the blastbeat intensity of grindcore with the rawness of black metal. The band documented their output on Bandcamp and maintained a presence in Brazil's underground extreme metal network.
Anus Mundi channels black metal from Paris since 2017, named after the notorious term used to describe Auschwitz. Their historically weighted name and extreme music confront the darkest chapters of human history.
Anweld practices black metal from Oława in Lower Silesia since 2020. Their Old English-derived name adds Anglo-Saxon linguistic heritage to their Polish black metal from this small town south of Wrocław.
Anxieta is a black metal project emerging from the small Breton fishing village of Treffiagat in 2026, representing the very newest generation of extreme music from France's Atlantic coast. Their anxiety-themed name captures the unsettled energy of a project just beginning to take shape.
Anxiety Disorder channels black metal from Vadu Crișului in the Bihor region near the Hungarian border since 2012. Their psychiatric-diagnosis name drives over a decade of agitated extremity from this small spa town in the Crișana.
Anxifer fuses black and death metal from Marseille since 2015, their anxiety-bearing name reflecting the unease at the core of their dual-genre extremity. Their Mediterranean port origins add an unlikely backdrop to their northern-European-influenced sound.
AnXpm channels black metal from Plymouth since 2019, their encrypted-looking name adding digital-age mystery to their extreme sound. Their Devon origins connect them to the southwest's growing black metal community.
Anyegin channels melodic post-black metal from Szekszárd, a wine-country town in southern Hungary better known for its Kadarka grapes than its extreme music. Formed in 2025, their literary namesake nods to Pushkin while their sound layers shimmering post-rock atmospherics over black metal's cold foundation.
Anything You Want channels post-black metal from Poznań since 1995, making them one of Poland's oldest post-black metal acts — predating the style's mainstream acceptance by decades. Their ironic, open-ended name contrasts with three decades of committed atmospheric extremity.
