Artilharia was a thrash/death metal band from Jaguariúna, São Paulo, with earlier roots in the band Hellhunter before a name change. Playing aggressive, garage-style extreme metal with Portuguese-language lyrics in a style reminiscent of 1980s Brazilian thrash, they released the demo Assassinos do Abismo before splitting up.
Bellville, Ohio death metal project with two releases since 2009. Inhuman and The All Seeing Eye deliver conspiratorial, war-themed death metal from rural north-central Ohio.
Cleveland death metal act unleashing brutal savagery from the shores of Lake Erie, continuing Northeast Ohio's seemingly endless pipeline of quality extreme metal.
Artless is a melodic death metal band from Reichenbach im Vogtland in Saxony, Germany, active since 2001, representing over two decades of commitment to the genre from the rural Vogtland region near the Czech border. The band brings Scandinavian-influenced melodic death metal to one of eastern Germany's more remote metal communities.
Riverside, California death metal project named after the Dark Souls character, bringing video game-inspired darkness to the Inland Empire's underground with crushing heaviness.
Artwork of Hate creates melodic death metal with deathcore elements from Klæbu near Trondheim since 2015. Their creative-violence name suggests brutality elevated to an art form through melodic sophistication.
Art Est is a technical death metal band from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2020, whose releases include A Demon's Mind, Salvage the Earth, A Helix of Sirens, and the single Evil Embodiment. The band delivers the genre's demanding combination of extreme speed, complex rhythmic structures, and death metal ferocity from one of Saxony's cultural capitals.
Arvest creates death and doom metal from Tula since 2007. Nearly two decades from this armaments-industry city south of Moscow, they have forged a substantial body of dual-genre extremity.
