Formed in Zomergem in 2005, Alkerdeel built their sound from partially improvised garage sessions using only guitar, drum, and voice recorded on tape — no bass. Their catalog runs from the raw sludge/black crushing of De Bollaf! (2008) and De Speenzalvinge (2010) through collaborations with Gnaw Their Tongues, to the stripped-down raw black metal of Slonk (2021) on Consouling Sounds.
Alkhimya fuses black and death metal from the Alsatian city of Mulhouse since 2016, their alchemical name reflecting the transformation of base sonic elements into extreme metal gold. Their eastern French origins connect them to the Rhine valley's cross-border metal traditions.
All Alone explores depressive black metal in the Finnish underground since 2014, channeling isolation and despair into atmospheric compositions. Their stark name and DSBM approach create some of the most emotionally raw music in Finland's extreme metal scene.
All Are Dead creates epic black metal from Wrocław since 2022. Their absolute-mortality name drives compositions of grand, sweeping darkness from Lower Silesia's capital.
All Is Quiet creates atmospheric black metal from Helsinki since 2020, their deceptively peaceful name masking the intense emotional landscapes beneath. From Finland's capital, they explore the tension between silence and storm through atmospheric compositions.
Corpus Christi, Texas black metal project. Nihilistic totality from the Gulf Coast.
Vinton, Louisiana black metal project drawing from the swamplands of Cajun country. Two releases of raw, lo-fi black metal that feel haunted by the bayou humidity and Southern Gothic atmosphere.
All My Sins practices black metal from Pančevo near Belgrade since 2004. Over two decades of activity, their confessional name has guided a sustained exploration of guilt and darkness from this Banat industrial city.
Arizona atmospheric black metal project crafting immersive, nature-inspired black metal since 2014. Three releases explore themes of desolation and transcendence through layered tremolo work and ambient passages.
