All I Lost crafts melodic death metal from Karlstad in Värmland since 2012. Their bereaved name drives over a decade of melancholic compositions from this lakeside city where the Klarälven River meets Lake Vänern.
All in Vain delivers death metal from Modena since 2017, their nihilistic name capturing the futility that their Emilian death metal explores. From the city of balsamic vinegar and Maserati, they craft music of existential hopelessness.
All Is Dust merges death metal, deathcore, and groove metal from the Norman capital of Rouen since 2017, creating a nihilistic blend of modern extreme styles. Their apocalyptic name captures the devastation at the core of their sound.
Blackened/technical death metal band from St. Gallen, Switzerland, whose 2023 album "Miscreation" was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studio in Sweden. The nine-track record—featuring vocalist David Oberthaler and guitarists Ramon Locher and Claudio Dotta—explores nihilistic themes of extinction and the void, and was released on limited purple marble vinyl alongside standard formats.
All of My Shadows creates melodic death metal from Belluno in the Dolomite foothills as of 2025, their introspective name suggesting a confrontation with one's darker selves. This Alpine Veneto setting, surrounded by some of Europe's most dramatic peaks, informs their atmospheric melodicism.
Athens' All Sins Undone emerged in 2023 with a punishing blend of death and thrash metal, delivering relentless aggression with technical precision. Their name suggests a thematic fascination with moral reckoning and absolution through violence.
All That Heaven Allows fuses black and death metal from the Scottish border town of Dumfries since 2023, their ironic Hollywood-melodrama name contrasting with the extremity of their sound. Their Dumfries and Galloway origins feed a uniquely Scottish perspective.
All the Fury channels melodic death metal from Košice in eastern Slovakia since 2018. From Slovakia's second-largest city, they deliver compositions that harness all available fury through melodic precision.
