Atmospheric black metal/ambient/folk project existing at the intersection of multiple atmospheric genres. A deeply underground act with minimal public presence.
Alyssum channels depressive and post-black metal from Saint Petersburg since 2021. Named after the flower symbolizing calmness in the language of flowers, they bring a fragile botanical beauty to the emotional extremity of DSBM.
New Jersey blackened avant-garde metal project pushing extreme metal into weird, angular territory. Spectrum delivers unconventional compositions that defy easy categorization within metal's established subgenres.
Amaguq practices black metal from Rennes in Brittany since 2016, named after the Inuit wolf spirit. From the capital of France's Celtic-influenced northwestern region, they channel the predatory spirit of their Arctic namesake.
Amalek is a black metal band from Saxony, Germany, formed in 2018, operating in the raw and uncompromising tradition of the genre. The band's Saxony roots place them within one of eastern Germany's most active regions for underground black metal.
Amanite delivers raw black metal from the Mediterranean port of Toulon since 2015, named after the deadly Amanita mushroom genus. Their toxic fungal name suits a sound designed to be as lethal and unpalatable as the poisonous fungi they honor.
Newport News, Virginia black metal project. The name — meaning 'eternal' in several languages — channels timeless darkness from Hampton Roads.
Amarantine weaves together black metal, death metal, and gothic metal from Helsinki since 2012, creating a sound as enduring as their eternal-sounding name. Their triple-genre fusion reflects a band comfortable navigating the full spectrum of extreme and atmospheric metal.
Amargor is the prolific solo vision of Manel "Woodcutter," a depressive black metal project born from frustration over Catalonia's political struggles and deepened by personal isolation. Since 2020, the project has spawned numerous releases across multiple side projects including Herald Ov Wizborg and Embodied Spectre, fusing ritualistic bleakness with dungeon synth and folk-tinged melancholia.
