Alkhimya fuses black and death metal from the Alsatian city of Mulhouse since 2016, their alchemical name reflecting the transformation of base sonic elements into extreme metal gold. Their eastern French origins connect them to the Rhine valley's cross-border metal traditions.
Alkimista crafts doom and death metal from Lisbon since 2018. Their Portuguese spelling of 'alchemist' connects to the country's Age of Discovery heritage while their sound transforms base heaviness into dark art.
Atlanta death metal project. The grotesque name channels American carnival horror through Southern extremity.
All Dead merges death and doom metal from Berlin since 2012. Their blunt, terminal name drives compositions that dwell in the finality of existence, channeled through the German capital's historically heavy cultural weight.
All Eyez on Me delivers deathcore from Bydgoszcz in Kujawy-Pomerania since 2014. Their Tupac-referencing name brings hip-hop bravado to the breakdown-heavy extremity of their northern Polish sound.
Lubbock, Texas metalcore project. Collapse from the dusty flatlands of West Texas.
Asheville, North Carolina black/thrash/punk band ripping through the Blue Ridge Mountains since 2014. Four releases deep, they channel Venom and Midnight into a Southern-fried blackened speed attack with a punk rock backbone.
All Hell Within merges death and thrash metal from Sundsvall since 2015. Their internal-inferno name drives a decade of dual-genre compositions from this northern Swedish coastal city.
All I Hate is a death metal duo from Sorocaba, São Paulo state, composed of Lucas Berti and Elcio Junior. Since forming in 2021 they have been remarkably prolific, releasing multiple records including 'Soulless Gods Arise', 'Manifesto', and 'Circus', carving out a stripped-down, punishing approach to the genre.
