Adon is a California black metal project that emerged in 2020 with their EP "Arkane." Little is known about the entity behind the project, which channels occult themes through four tracks of atmospheric black metal.
Adoniram channels atmospheric black metal and ambient from Izhevsk in Udmurtia as of 2025. Named after the Masonic legendary figure, they bring esoteric-fraternal mysticism to their Ural-born atmospheric approach.
Adonis DNA are a black metal and ambient project from Prague, Czech Republic, whose music incorporates doom and psychedelic elements alongside more conventional black metal textures.

Adoperta Tenebris channels black metal from Nantes since 2017, their Latin name meaning "covered in darkness" perfectly describing the cloak of obscurity that envelops their sound. The project contributes to the Loire-Atlantique capital's robust extreme metal scene.
Adore is a black metal project that originated in New Orleans before relocating to Dallas, Texas. Across four full-lengths released between 2008 and 2020, the project has evolved from early raw black metal into more expansive territory, with the sprawling 30-track "Momentary Leap" representing their most ambitious work.
Adorior has been fusing black and death metal from London since 1998, making them one of the English capital's longest-running extreme metal acts. Over a quarter century of activity speaks to remarkable endurance within the UK underground.
Adorn 16 is a black metal project from Brooklyn, New York. Their 2019 single "Бесы (Besy)" — Russian for "Demons" — hints at Eastern European influences filtered through the lens of NYC's underground black metal scene.
Adragard channels black metal from Paganica, a town near L'Aquila in Abruzzo that was devastated by the 2009 earthquake, since 2018. Their music carries the weight of that trauma through compositions steeped in destruction and desolation.
