Adrammelech is a black metal horde from Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2018 and oriented around themes of primordial gnosis, war, and Hyperborean mysticism. The five-piece — operating under pseudonyms including Masterwolf, Daswolf, Hades, and Terror — released a self-titled demo in 2018 on Battlefront Distro.
Adraste merges black metal with pagan themes from the Lille and Arras area since 2017, drawing from the pre-Christian traditions of northern France. Named after a Celtic war goddess, their sound carries the martial spirit of their Gallic namesake.
Adrasteia is a black metal and ambient project from Chicago that has been quietly prolific since 2019. Across demos, splits, and singles, the project weaves glacial ambient textures into raw black metal, with titles like "Hymnes de Glaciers" and "Eisblut" underscoring its fixation on frozen, desolate soundscapes.
Adrex is a black metal project from New Jersey. Their 2024 debut "Beautiful souvenirs torn apart" is a dense, fourteen-track full-length that mines emotional devastation through a distinctly raw and personal black metal lens.
Adrianachrome creates depressive and post-black metal from Novokuznetsk in Kemerovo Oblast since 2024. Their pharmacological name — evoking the oxidized form of adrenaline — drives compositions of neurochemical despair from the Kuznetsk Basin.
Adumbrall is a black/death metal solo project from Euclides da Cunha, Bahia, Brazil, formed in 2020 by Athayde Neto, who also plays in the band Wiseblood. A one-man operation, Neto handles all instruments, vocals, and lyrics, channeling themes of nature, philosophy, enlightenment, horror, and lust across releases including "Through Passion, Through Pain, Through Blood" and "In a Blaze of Order."
A black metal project from the Kempen region of Antwerp formed in 2007, centered entirely on what the band calls Ophidian Adversarialism — an occult Left Hand Path philosophy tied to serpent-current traditions. Their two releases, Searing Fires and Lucid Visions (2011) and Drakon Sovereign Supreme (2017) on World Terror Committee, are dense, ritualistic offerings recorded at Blackout Studio in Belgium.
Advena practices black metal from an undisclosed Polish location since 2011. Their Latin name meaning 'stranger' or 'newcomer' reinforces the deliberate outsider positioning of their anonymous black metal.
Adveniat Hiems has created ambient black metal from Milan since 2009, their Latin name meaning 'let winter come' setting the atmospheric tone for music that embraces the cold, contemplative side of black metal. Their Lombard origin grounds cosmic ambience in urban Italian reality.
