Ass Burners has been fusing black metal, death metal, and grindcore from Lille since 2003, their deliberately provocative name signaling a project that values transgression alongside extremity. Over two decades of genre-crossing mayhem from northern France reflect enduring commitment.
Assacrentis channels melodic black metal from Nice since 2004, contributing to the Côte d'Azur's surprisingly active extreme metal community for two decades. Their sacral-sounding name adds ceremonial weight to their Mediterranean black metal.
Assamalla is a black metal band from Parnu, Estonia, formed in 2013, channeling the genre's cold hostility from the coastal resort city on the Gulf of Riga. The band contributes to the small but passionate Estonian black metal underground.
Black metal project split between Kansas City and Los Angeles, blending heartland bleakness with West Coast extremity in a bicoastal assault on the senses.

Warminster's Astarothica conjure occult black metal steeped in eerie atmospherics and ritualistic intensity. Formed in 2023, the project channels dark mysticism through raw, lo-fi compositions that evoke dread and otherworldly menace.
Asteden channels black metal from Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland since 2018, drawing from the extreme darkness of the polar winter. Their Arctic location infuses their sound with a genuine coldness that many black metal acts can only simulate.
