Atrocidade merges black and death metal from Lisbon since 2013. Their Portuguese name meaning 'atrocity' delivers exactly the horrors promised through over a decade of extreme metal from the capital.
Atrocious Command is a black/death metal band from Bruges, Belgium, operating in the underground extreme metal scene with a sound that draws equally from the aggression of death metal and the dark atmosphere of black metal. The band has released material through their Bandcamp page as an independent act.
Fredericksburg, Virginia black/gothic metal project whose 2012 EP Per Saecula Saeculorum — Latin for 'forever and ever' — blends ecclesiastical grandeur with dark atmospherics from Virginia's historic corridor.
Atrorum is a progressive black metal band from Munich, Germany, active since 1998, pushing the boundaries of black metal through complex song structures and unconventional compositional approaches. With over a quarter century of activity, the band represents the long-running experimental edge of Bavaria's black metal underground.
Atroth practices black metal from the shores of Lake Balaton in Balatonfüred, a resort town more typically associated with summer leisure than satanic hostility. Formed in 2019, they bring an incongruous darkness to one of Hungary's most picturesque settings.
Atrum conjures black and death metal from Hafnarfjörður, a harbor town just south of Reykjavík, since 2019. Their Latin name meaning 'dark' anchors a sound steeped in the volcanic shadow of Mount Helgafell.
Minneapolis black metal project whose Latin name — roughly 'dark futility' — and 2014 releases Prognatus In Vorago and Where Serpents Dwell channel nihilistic fury through classically influenced atmospheric black metal.
Atrum Tempestas crafts atmospheric black metal from Oulu since 2012, their Latin name meaning "dark storm" perfectly describing the tempestuous soundscapes they conjure. Their northern Finnish origins lend genuine Arctic authenticity to their atmospheric approach.
Pleasanton, California black metal project whose Latin name translates to 'dark wind,' channeling atmospheric bleakness from the Bay Area's suburban East Bay.
