Aghor is an old-school death metal band from Tallinn, Estonia, formed in 2013, featuring members from Estonian metal acts Loits, Forgotten Sunrise, and Horricane.

Aglomerat channels melodic death and groove metal from Nizhny Novgorod since 2023. Their industrial-materials name — an agglomerate being a mass of fused fragments — captures the welded-together quality of their dual-genre approach.
Agnosia is a death metal band from La Grange, Illinois. With four releases between 2019 and 2023, including the full-length "Outo Laakso" (Finnish for 'strange valley'), the band brings a European-influenced approach to Chicagoland death metal.
Agnosy merges crust punk with death metal from London since 2011, creating a volatile crossover that bridges the English capital's punk and metal undergrounds. Their agnosticism-inspired name reflects a questioning approach to sonic conventions.

Agnozia are a death metal power trio from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, assembled during the pandemic and dedicated to old-school death metal in the tradition of the early 1990s. Their debut album Ultra-Violence, released in May 2023 on Black Hearts Records, delivers eight tracks of churning riffs and brutal drumming with song titles like Innate Antropophagy and Moritvri Mortvis signaling an unapologetically visceral approach.
Consolidated in Castellón in 2011, Agnusdey fuses thrash and death metal into a volatile underground assault recorded at Overdrive Studios. Their 2014 album "Evil in the Earth" captures the raw, unpolished aggression of a band deeply rooted in the Spanish extreme metal underground.
