Aganthros combines black metal experimentation from Jyväskylä since 2022, pushing the genre's boundaries in central Finland. Their experimental approach reflects the adventurous spirit of Finland's inland metal communities.
Agares is a black metal project from Stade, Germany, formed in 2025, named after the demon duke from the Ars Goetia who commands thirty-one legions of spirits. Not to be confused with the Arizona-based DSBM project, this northern German incarnation brings infernal black metal to the banks of the lower Elbe.
Agartha is a black metal project from Nashville, Tennessee. With four releases between 2015 and 2019, the project explores experimental territory under the banner of black metal, drawing its name from the legendary subterranean civilization of occult mythology.
Milwaukee black metal project. The name evokes Agartha, the legendary underground kingdom, from Beer City.
Agarwaen is a black metal project named after the Sindarin word meaning 'bloodstained' from Tolkien's legendarium. Their 2019 debut "Dottore I" delivers eight tracks of Tolkien-inspired black metal.
Agasch are a Bavarian black metal band who describe themselves simply as 'German Black Metal from Bavaria,' drawing on the region's dense forests for their atmospheric sound. Their releases — including the 2020 demo Umnachtete Gestalt des Inneren Wesens, Irrlicht, Waldgeist, and Realisation der Illusion — are steeped in German-language mysticism and woodland imagery.
Agasia blends blackened sludge metal with crust punk from Turku since 2013. From Finland's former capital on the southwestern coast, they create a corrosive fusion that draws equally from extreme metal and DIY punk traditions.
Agathodaimon are a symphonic and gothic black metal band from Mainz, Germany, active since their 1996 Carpe Noctem demo, with nine releases spanning nearly three decades. From their Nuclear Blast debut Blacken the Angel through their 2022 album The Seven, they have been one of Germany's most enduring dark metal acts, blending orchestral grandeur with black metal intensity.
Agatunet has traversed a remarkable stylistic journey from dark ambient through post-black metal to stoner rock and metal since forming in Rome in 2012. This genre-hopping restlessness speaks to a creative vision that refuses to be contained by any single style.
