Amoxtli Tliltik is a black metal project from Mexico whose name draws from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. The project released a self-titled demo in 2016 and followed it with the single "Ocelote 'El soñador de Citlaltépetl'" in 2018, which references the volcanic peak Citlaltépetl in central Mexico.
Amplam Umbra fuses black and death metal from Tampere since 2024, contributing to the city's thriving extreme metal community. Their Latin name, meaning "great shadow," evokes the darkness that permeates their sound.
Amplexus Mortem is an occult black metal band from Guaíba, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2019. Their music draws heavily on chaos gnosticism and left-hand path philosophy — particularly Qliphothic Kabbalistic symbolism — and they have been prolific, releasing numerous albums and EPs including "Qliphothic Paths of Sitra Achra" (2019), "The Eleven Seals of Azerate" (2021), and "Antinomian Paths of Death" (2021).
Amras Numenesse crafts symphonic black metal from İzmir since 2018. Their double-Tolkien name — combining an Elf prince with a variant of Númenor — drives orchestrally enhanced compositions from Turkey's Aegean metropolis.
Amtal creates post-black metal from Utrecht since 2016. Their Dune-referencing name — the amtal rule being a test to destruction — drives compositions that push black metal to its atmospheric limits.
Amud is a Christian black metal (unblack metal) band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed around 2019 and still active. With members Anderson Nogueira Shu, Samuca Nogue, and Rafinha Nogue, the band wields black metal aggression in service of explicitly Christian themes, countering Satanism with their lyrics — a tradition in Brazilian unblack metal. Their discography includes multiple demos such as "Deuses de Pedra Não Salvam!" (2012), "Fogo no Cão" (2014), and "Perdeu Capeta" (2017).
Worthington black metal project from the Ohio underground.
Amuro was a black metal band from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, active from 2013 until their split-up.

Amystery is a German black metal band from Lenggries in Bavaria, active since 2001, with a catalog that includes Grim Satanic Blessing, All Hail the Cult, Chaos Empire Satan, and Extermination Followed by Cryptic Silence. With over two decades of activity, the band has built a substantial body of work rooted in the satanic and occult themes central to the black metal tradition.
