Asenheim has evolved from black and pagan metal into epic black metal, relocating from North Rhine-Westphalia to Baden-Württemberg since 2021. Their name references the home of the Aesir gods in Norse mythology, guiding compositions that have grown in scope alongside their geographic migration.
Asgar is a black metal band from Jena in Thuringia, Germany, formed in 2011, channeling the genre's cold aggression from the historic university city in central Germany. The band contributes to Thuringia's dedicated black metal underground.
Asgaroth conjures the intersection of black metal's blast-beat fury and doom metal's glacial weight from Barcelona since 2011. Named for a demon prince, their sound explores the vast spectrum between extremes of speed and slowness.
Asghath channels black metal from Pesaro on the Adriatic coast of the Marche since 2015. From this city where Rossini was born, they practice an art far removed from opera — raw, hostile, and uncompromising.
Black metal project of undisclosed origin with ten releases since 2014. Albums like Dance And Kill and Fear build a substantial catalog of raw black metal with no geographic anchor — pure anonymity in service of the sound.
Raleigh, North Carolina black metal project. Minimalist output from the Triangle area's growing extreme underground.
Arcata, California atmospheric black metal project whose misty, forested Northern California surroundings deeply inform their expansive, nature-inspired sound — one of USBM's most acclaimed acts.
Utica, New York black metal act channeling the economic decay and harsh winters of upstate New York into bleak, atmospheric extremity.
Ash Magick practices black metal from Istanbul since 2023. Their occult-combustion name drives compositions of ritual darkness from the transcontinental megalopolis.
