Asphagor are a black metal band from the Tyrol region of Austria with over a decade of releases, including Havoc (2010), Anti (2013), The Cleansing (2018), and Pyrogenesis (2023), all leading toward the forthcoming The Aphotic Vortex via Immortal Frost Productions. Their sound is rooted in ferocious, relentless second-wave black metal with a Tyrolean contempt for compromise, characterised by incendiary tempos and an anti-human thematic core.
Portland stoner metal project whose 2025-2026 releases blend heavy grooves with electronic remix culture. Named after the flowers of the Greek underworld, their New Paradigm album suggests a forward-looking approach to fuzz worship.
Asphodèle channels black metal from the French underground since 2013, named after the flower associated with death and the underworld in Greek mythology. Their botanical-funereal name suits the otherworldly atmosphere of their compositions.
New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania black metal project from a town whose name provides ironic biblical resonance for anti-religious music. Minimal output from rural western PA.
Aspro Askari creates progressive black and death metal from Cologne since 2016. Their name, combining Greek and Swahili words, brings a multicultural edge to their progressive approach to extreme metal from the Rhine metropolis.
Ass Burners has been fusing black metal, death metal, and grindcore from Lille since 2003, their deliberately provocative name signaling a project that values transgression alongside extremity. Over two decades of genre-crossing mayhem from northern France reflect enduring commitment.
Assacrentis channels melodic black metal from Nice since 2004, contributing to the Côte d'Azur's surprisingly active extreme metal community for two decades. Their sacral-sounding name adds ceremonial weight to their Mediterranean black metal.
Assamalla is a black metal band from Parnu, Estonia, formed in 2013, channeling the genre's cold hostility from the coastal resort city on the Gulf of Riga. The band contributes to the small but passionate Estonian black metal underground.
Black metal project split between Kansas City and Los Angeles, blending heartland bleakness with West Coast extremity in a bicoastal assault on the senses.
