Athens' A.B.L. fuse black and thrash metal into a ferocious assault of speed-driven riffing and venomous vocals. Formed in 2020, they channel the aggression of the first-wave Greek black metal scene through a modern thrash-inflected lens.
A.H.P. channels black metal and ambient from Bergen since 2012. Their abbreviated identity adds enigmatic anonymity to compositions that draw from the atmospheric traditions of Norway's western fjord city — one of black metal's most hallowed geographic origins.
A.I.D.S. is a black metal band originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana and later based in Casper, Wyoming. Active since 2004, the band has released three full-lengths and a demo spanning nearly two decades of raw, uncompromising black metal, from early lo-fi provocations to the more refined assault of 2022's "MALEFICUS SABBATUM."
A.N.A.E.L. fuses black metal, death metal, industrial metal, and melodic death metal from the southern French port of Toulon since 2021. Their four-genre fusion creates an unusually broad and ambitious sound from the Provençal underground.
A black metal project from Ponta Grossa, Paraná, formed in 2019 as a side outlet for Draugur, the figure behind the band Paarthurnax. Signed to Arte Ancestral Records, A.N.T.I.L.I.V. has released the albums Superioridade Atemporal and Vilipêndio, channeling themes of war, hate, and misanthropy through a raw and uncompromising black metal framework.
A.T.O.N. channels black metal from an undisclosed Italian location since 2017. Their cryptic acronymic name adds to the mystery surrounding a project that favors obscurity and atmosphere over public exposure.
A.TAXET.A is a black metal and ambient project from Ketchikan, Alaska. Drawing from the isolation of America's northernmost reaches, the project released both an EP and a full-length in 2020, blending frigid black metal with atmospheric ambient passages.
A.U.G.E practices black metal from Sortland in the Vesterålen Islands above the Arctic Circle since 2016. Their music emerges from one of Norway's most remote and dramatic landscapes, where the midnight sun and polar darkness shape a sound of extreme natural isolation.
A.V.I.S. is an anonymous Finnish black metal project that has been channeling darkness since 2015, maintaining the genre's tradition of obscured identities. Their deliberately minimal public profile lets the music speak for itself.
