Ad Extremum is a black metal band from Brasília, Brazil, formed in 2013 and signed to Nox Bellum Prod. Their music explores themes of Satanism, occultism, and suicide, rooted in the raw, atmospheric tradition of Brazilian black metal.
Ad Hominem brings black metal from southern France with a confrontational intensity that matches their logical-fallacy name. Their provocative approach to the genre has made them a notable presence in the French extreme metal underground since their early 2000s origins.
Ad Inceptum merges thrash and black metal from Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East since 2016. Their Latin name meaning 'to the beginning' drives compositions that seek origins through the combined aggression of thrash and black metal from the Amur River city.
Ad Inferna has been crafting a sophisticated blend of black metal, gothic metal, industrial metal, and symphonic metal from Paris since 2001. Their infernal name and multi-genre fusion create a sound as complex and varied as the French capital itself.
Ad Inferno is a Brazilian black metal project that emerged in 2022, featuring members drawn from Campo Grande, Curitiba, and Rio de Janeiro. Their debut full-length "A Senda do Abismo (Spiritus Pestilens)", recorded and released in late 2022, presents a cold, underground black metal aesthetic.
Ad Infernum is a black metal project from Vilseck, Germany, active since 2001, making them one of the longer-running black metal entities in the Bavarian underground. Their name, Latin for 'to hell,' signals the project's commitment to the genre's darkest traditions across more than two decades of activity.
Ad Inferos channels black metal from Kattem near Trondheim since 2012. Their Latin name meaning 'to the underworld' drives compositions of infernal descent from central Norway's Trøndelag region.
Ad Infinitum is a death metal band from Chicago, Illinois. With six releases, the band has maintained a consistent presence in the Windy City's storied death metal scene.
Ad Mortem are a black metal project from Zschorlau in Saxony's Erzgebirge region, with releases including Supreme Pestilence, Ceremonies for the Apocalyptic Idolatry, and In Honorem Mortis. Active since 2018, the project maintains a deliberately austere presence befitting their apocalyptic Latin-titled catalog of extreme music.
