Salt Lake City death metal project with an enormous eleven-release discography since 2012. Named after a demon from the Ars Goetia, their catalog sprawls across singles, compilations, and full-lengths that probe the boundaries of extreme music from the unlikely backdrop of Mormon country.
Sibenik's Andrath forge melodic death metal with a Dalmatian edge, blending Scandinavian-influenced guitar harmonies with aggressive rhythms since 2012. Their Tolkien-derived name (a mountain pass in Middle-earth) hints at epic, narrative-driven compositions.
Andromalius merges black and death metal from Moscow since 2019. Named after a Great Earl of Hell who punishes thieves and returns stolen goods, they channel demonic justice through extreme metal from the Russian capital.
New York City death metal enigma whose 2013 debut Cosmic Collision Into The Fifth Dimension launches into interstellar extremity. The name alone — part alien taxonomy, part fever dream — signals a band operating far outside conventional death metal's orbit.
Andsolis is a progressive melodic death metal band from Heidelberg, Germany, whose 2015 release Vigil showcases the interplay of complex song structures and melodic sensibility that defines their approach. The band merges the intellectual ambition of progressive metal with the emotional weight of melodic death metal.
Andy Blakk delivers death metal from Warsaw as a solo project since 2013. This personal-name-branded operation channels one musician's vision of extremity through the sprawling metropolitan energy of the Polish capital.
Andy Gillion channels death metal, melodic death metal, and progressive metal from Bristol as a solo artist, known for his work as former guitarist of Mors Principium Est. His solo output since 2011 showcases the technical virtuosity and melodic sensibility he brought to the Finnish melodeath legends.
Chicago and Oklahoma City doom metal collaboration channeling existential dread since 2021. Their full-length How to Look Forward to the Apocalypse pairs a darkly humorous title with genuinely crushing doom, while Life In Jars suggests a more intimate, claustrophobic heaviness.
Anencephalic delivers death metal from the Scottish border town of Dumfries since 2017, their medical-term name referencing the absence of a brain creating a darkly ironic contrast with their technically demanding compositions.
