Atroth practices black metal from the shores of Lake Balaton in Balatonfüred, a resort town more typically associated with summer leisure than satanic hostility. Formed in 2019, they bring an incongruous darkness to one of Hungary's most picturesque settings.
Atrum conjures black and death metal from Hafnarfjörður, a harbor town just south of Reykjavík, since 2019. Their Latin name meaning 'dark' anchors a sound steeped in the volcanic shadow of Mount Helgafell.
Minneapolis black metal project whose Latin name — roughly 'dark futility' — and 2014 releases Prognatus In Vorago and Where Serpents Dwell channel nihilistic fury through classically influenced atmospheric black metal.
Atrum Tempestas crafts atmospheric black metal from Oulu since 2012, their Latin name meaning "dark storm" perfectly describing the tempestuous soundscapes they conjure. Their northern Finnish origins lend genuine Arctic authenticity to their atmospheric approach.
Pleasanton, California black metal project whose Latin name translates to 'dark wind,' channeling atmospheric bleakness from the Bay Area's suburban East Bay.
Atrymo is a death and black metal band from João Pessoa, Paraíba, formed in 2017 by members with roots in prior extreme metal projects. The four-piece — featuring Aracélio on drums and vocals, Ivan on bass and vocals, Ivaldo and Bruno on guitars — channels themes of human hatred, greed, and spiritual corruption through tracks like "Sentidos Infames," "Miséria e Ódio," and "Depressão," with lyrics sung in Portuguese.
Washington, D.C. black metal/grindcore hybrid whose confrontational name matches their blistering blend of blast beats and political fury from the nation's capital.
Unionville, Tennessee black metal project. Minimal output from a tiny Middle Tennessee community — rural Southern black metal in its most isolated form.
Attestupa practices black metal from Moscow since 2022. Named after the Scandinavian cliff from which the elderly were said to have thrown themselves, they bring Norse mortality rituals to their Russian capital black metal.
