Aderta crafts atmospheric black metal from Gothenburg as of 2025. From the city that gave its name to the Gothenburg sound, they bring freshly forged atmospheric darkness from Sweden's second city.
Ades Numen fuses symphonic arrangements with black and death metal from Padua since 2017. Their name, combining the Roman god of the underworld with divine will, drives a sound that pairs orchestral grandeur with infernal extremity.
Adge is a black metal, ambient, and dungeon synth project from the Canary Islands, Spain, formed in 2023, creating a blend of atmospheric black metal and medieval-inspired dungeon synth from the Atlantic archipelago off the coast of Africa. The project brings an unusual geographic origin to the typically northern European-dominated genres of black metal and dungeon synth.
Black metal project of unknown origin. The name implies devotion — whether to darkness, tradition, or the genre's uncompromising principles.
Adimiron has undergone a striking evolution from melodic death and black metal into progressive thrash and death territory since forming in Rome in 2009. Their willingness to reinvent their sound speaks to the creative restlessness of the Roman extreme metal underground.
Los Angeles black metal project. The name — meaning to urge or appeal solemnly — adds gravity to City of Angels darkness.
Admarsior practices pagan black metal from Pescara in Abruzzo since 2020, channeling pre-Christian spiritual traditions through tremolo-picked ferocity and atmospheric passages. Their Adriatic-coast origins add a distinctive Mediterranean edge to the northern European pagan metal template.
Admonish channels melodic black metal from Stockholm since 2018. Their warning-based name drives compositions of reproachful intensity from the Swedish capital.
Southeast Texas black metal project from Beaumont specializing in atmospheric, melodically charged darkness. Their earliest material hints at a band reaching for sweeping grandeur within the raw black metal framework.
