Amduatum practices black metal from Trondheim since 2013. Named after an ancient Mesopotamian underworld, they bring Sumerian infernal mythology to over a decade of black metal from Norway's third-largest city.

Amduscias practices black metal from Saint Petersburg since 2003. Named after the Grand Duke of Hell who commands music to be heard, over two decades from Russia's cultural capital they have honored their demonic patron's musical mandate.
Amdusias channels raw black metal from the Pyrenean city of Pau since 2018, named after a great duke of Hell from demonological texts. Their infernal inspiration feeds unpolished, lo-fi compositions drawn from the shadow of the mountains.
Amen Corner is one of the pioneering black metal bands in Brazil, formed in 1992 in Curitiba, Paraná, and widely regarded as a foundational force in the development of the country's extreme metal underground alongside acts like Murder Rape. Drawing influence from Venom, Celtic Frost, and Bolt Thrower, the band forged a sound characterized by diabolic weight and aggression, releasing landmark early albums including "Fall, Ascension, Domination" (1994) and "Jachol Ve Tehilá" (1995). Their 2024 album "Written by the Devil", released through Dutch label Hammerheart Records, marked their first international licensing deal after over three decades of activity.
New York City black metal project. The weapon-name channels piercing aggression from Manhattan's underground.
Amesoeurs was the visionary side project of Alcest's Neige alongside Audrey Sylvain and Fursy Teyssier, pioneering a fusion of black metal, shoegaze, and post-punk that reflected the dark side of modern civilization. Their sole self-titled album and the "Ruines Humaines" EP remain essential documents of the blackgaze movement before the band's dissolution in 2009.
Founded in Vienna in 1993 by Tharen and Thurisaz — both veterans of Abigor — Amestigon play atmospheric and melodic black metal with pagan influences, and have been one of the most quietly consistent acts in the Austrian black metal scene for over thirty years. Their catalog runs from the early demo tapes Mysterious Realms and Through the Ages We Preserve... through the Napalm Records era and into celebrated later albums like Sun of All Suns (2010) and Thier (2015).
Illinois black metal project emerging in 2023 with a rapid-fire release schedule. Three EPs in two years — including the enigmatically titled Descending Green Object — suggest a prolific creative drive channeling atmospheric black metal through a distinctly Midwestern filter.
