Achren merges black and thrash metal from Glasgow since 2011, named after the queen of the enchantresses in Welsh mythology. Over a decade of Celtic-inspired extremity reflects deep roots in the Scottish metal underground.
A Belgian atmospheric post-black metal collective whose members deliberately remain anonymous to keep the focus on the music. Their debut EP Hollowlight spans two compositions across roughly fifteen minutes, alternating sharp, layered black metal passages with brief meditative interludes; the name is derived from Ancient Greek meaning "without tears."
Achsar has evolved from doom metal into melodic folk, death, and black metal from Levice in the Hron Valley since 2014. Their stylistic expansion over a decade mirrors a journey from monolithic heaviness to folk-enriched melodic extremity.
Acid is an atmospheric black metal and shoegaze project from Rock Hill, South Carolina. Their 2023 output — an EP and the full-length "Debossed" — blends tremolo-picked black metal with shimmering shoegaze textures and dreamy atmospherics.
San Diego black metal project. The name's chemical violence makes no compromises from Southern California's extreme underground.
Acid Enema is a black metal project from Las Vegas, Nevada that has evolved from raw black metal into a more industrial-tinged approach. The project's output blends mechanical rhythms with black metal's caustic edge.
Acid Revenant merges black and thrash metal from Florence since 2014, pairing the raw velocity of thrash with black metal's tonal hostility. Their spectral-chemical name captures the ghostly aggression that defines their Tuscan approach.
A black metal project from Munich, Germany, Acid Storm emerged in 2020 channeling corrosive extremity from the Bavarian capital. The project adds a caustic edge to Munich's diverse metal scene, where black metal coexists with the city's broader musical culture.
Pennsylvania black metal project. The name fuses chemical burn with seasonal cold — a uniquely hostile combination.
