Astrophobos practices black metal from Stockholm since 2010. Their fear-of-stars name drives fifteen years of cosmic black metal from the Swedish capital.
Houston black/doom metal project blending cosmic horror with crushing heaviness from Space City, the name itself a portmanteau hinting at astrological and occult themes.
Astru has operated as a Hungarian black metal entity since 2006, maintaining secrecy about its precise location within the country. The project channels a cold, isolationist strain of black metal befitting its enigmatic posture.
Astrum Malum has been channeling black metal from Helsinki since 2014, their Latin name meaning "evil star" reflecting a cosmic darkness at the core of their sound. The project's stellar-malevolent identity places them among Helsinki's most atmospherically minded black metal acts.
Philadelphia black metal act adding to the City of Brotherly Love's surprisingly deep extreme metal scene, channeling urban darkness through frigid atmospheric aggression.
Asubha channels black metal from Lyon since 2016, their Buddhist term meaning "unpleasant" or "impure" adding Eastern philosophical depth to their extreme sound. The project brings mindful darkness to France's third-largest city.
Asvynn is a pagan, black, and death metal band from Bad Grund in the Harz Mountains of Germany, formed in 2018, channeling the forested, mythological landscape of their mountain homeland through extreme metal. The band's fusion of pagan themes with black and death metal aggression draws natural inspiration from one of Germany's most historically mystical regions.
Asyle delivers black metal from the Mayenne capital of Laval since 2018, their French word for "asylum" evoking the confined madness at the heart of their compositions. The project channels the rural isolation of western France's interior.
