Manchester's Astral Church emerged in 2023 with a ferocious hybrid of death metal and grindcore, delivering short, savage bursts of blasting intensity and guttural carnage. Their sound is chaotic and uncompromising, channelling the city's rich tradition of extreme music.
Astral Emptiness explores atmospheric and technical deathcore from Rome since 2020. Their paradoxical name — cosmic void — drives compositions that pair the technical precision of deathcore with vast atmospheric spaces.
Astral Forest crafts melodic death and doom metal from Gdynia on the Baltic coast since 2020. Their name conjures a woodland among the stars — impossible, ethereal — and their Tri-City compositions reach for similar transcendence.
Inman, South Carolina black metal project with five releases since 2024. Cosmic Cries Of The Lonely Star and Depression capture both celestial grandeur and earthbound despair from the Carolina Upstate, their prolific output building an interstellar mythology at remarkable speed.
Astral Mantra crafts doom and death metal from Saint Petersburg since 2022. Their cosmic-chant name drives compositions of meditative heaviness from Russia's cultural capital.
Omaha, Nebraska death metal project whose 2013 releases — FUCK YOUR PLANET and its companion YOUR FUCKED PLANET — deliver nihilistic extremity with a profane sense of humor. Anti-cosmic death metal from the Great Plains.
Astral Paralysis creates progressive death metal from Siena since 2016, named after the phenomenon of sleep paralysis rendered in cosmic terms. From the Tuscan hill city of the Palio, they craft technically demanding compositions that explore states of suspended consciousness.
Astral Path explores progressive death metal from Milan since 2016, their name suggesting a journey through the stars. From Lombardy's capital, they navigate complex compositional territory with the ambition their cosmic name demands.
Astral Queen creates doom and death metal from Konin in Greater Poland since 2014. Their regal-cosmic name drives compositions of majestic heaviness from this central Polish industrial town.
