Scorching Black Metal from San Antonio.
Alocer was a black metal band from Sorocaba, São Paulo, active from 1999 until splitting up in the 2000s. Their Bandcamp catalog includes releases such as "The Victory of Darkness Riders," "By Triumph of the Eternal Conquest," and the "Darkness Valleys" demo, all bearing the dark, conquest-themed atmosphere typical of Brazilian underground black metal.
Aloeswood channels black metal from Kingston upon Hull since 2011, named after the precious fragrant wood burned in ritual ceremonies. Over a decade of atmospheric compositions from the Humber estuary reflects sustained commitment to the genre.
Alone in the Mist creates atmospheric black and doom metal from the Rudnya-Smolensk area since 2020. Their fog-isolated name perfectly captures the damp, grey atmosphere of western Russia's borderland forests.
Alone with Whores is a black metal/grindcore band from Catanduva, São Paulo, formed in 2023 and released on the local D.I.Y. imprint Podreira Records. Their self-titled 2023 EP blends the abrasive speed of grindcore with black metal rawness, representing the underground noise scene of the interior of São Paulo state.
Along Memories crafts atmospheric post-black metal from Dnipro since 2019. Their nostalgic name drives compositions that walk alongside recollection, channeling the vast Dnieper River landscape into atmospheric compositions.
Aloys Fudanshi has evolved from blackened death metal into avant-garde and death metal territory from Turku since 2021. Their Japanese-inflected name — fudanshi being a male fan of boys' love manga — signals an unconventional creative vision from the Finnish southwest.
Alpamysh blends black metal with ambient textures from Pescara since 2024, named after the Central Asian folk hero. Their cross-cultural name brings Turkic mythology into the framework of Adriatic-coast extreme metal.
Salem, Oregon black metal project whose debut UNCREASED delivers raw, atmospheric black metal from the Pacific Northwest. The name evokes Alpine ghostlore, fitting for music steeped in cold, mountainous atmosphere.
