Adore is a black metal project that originated in New Orleans before relocating to Dallas, Texas. Across four full-lengths released between 2008 and 2020, the project has evolved from early raw black metal into more expansive territory, with the sprawling 30-track "Momentary Leap" representing their most ambitious work.
Adorior has been fusing black and death metal from London since 1998, making them one of the English capital's longest-running extreme metal acts. Over a quarter century of activity speaks to remarkable endurance within the UK underground.
Adorn 16 is a black metal project from Brooklyn, New York. Their 2019 single "Бесы (Besy)" — Russian for "Demons" — hints at Eastern European influences filtered through the lens of NYC's underground black metal scene.
Adragard channels black metal from Paganica, a town near L'Aquila in Abruzzo that was devastated by the 2009 earthquake, since 2018. Their music carries the weight of that trauma through compositions steeped in destruction and desolation.
Adrammelech is a black metal horde from Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2018 and oriented around themes of primordial gnosis, war, and Hyperborean mysticism. The five-piece — operating under pseudonyms including Masterwolf, Daswolf, Hades, and Terror — released a self-titled demo in 2018 on Battlefront Distro.
Adraste merges black metal with pagan themes from the Lille and Arras area since 2017, drawing from the pre-Christian traditions of northern France. Named after a Celtic war goddess, their sound carries the martial spirit of their Gallic namesake.
Adrasteia is a black metal and ambient project from Chicago that has been quietly prolific since 2019. Across demos, splits, and singles, the project weaves glacial ambient textures into raw black metal, with titles like "Hymnes de Glaciers" and "Eisblut" underscoring its fixation on frozen, desolate soundscapes.
Adrex is a black metal project from New Jersey. Their 2024 debut "Beautiful souvenirs torn apart" is a dense, fourteen-track full-length that mines emotional devastation through a distinctly raw and personal black metal lens.
Adrianachrome creates depressive and post-black metal from Novokuznetsk in Kemerovo Oblast since 2024. Their pharmacological name — evoking the oxidized form of adrenaline — drives compositions of neurochemical despair from the Kuznetsk Basin.
