Kansas City/Tampa death metal legends delivering some of the most ferocious war metal in American history.
Angelcrypt has evolved from death and thrash metal into melodic death metal from St. Paul's Bay in Malta since 2016. Their cryptic-angelic name drives a sound that has progressively refined its melodic sensibilities from this northern Maltese coastal town.
Vienna's Angelcunt operate at the extreme crossroads of black and death metal, drawing on the deliberately confrontational tradition of early Scandinavian black metal. Their material couples blast-beat aggression with venomous, anti-religious lyricism and the low-fi rawness of the underground tape-trading circuit.
Devastating Brutal Death Metal from Houston, Texas / Beloit, Wisconsin.
Angelivore delivers death metal from England since 2023, their angel-eating name creating a blasphemous image of consuming the divine. The project brings a unique brand of sacrilegious brutality to the UK underground.
Angellore has been crafting atmospheric doom metal from Avignon since 2007, combining death growls, clean singing, and baritone vocals with violin and acoustic guitar. Albums like "Errances" and "La Litanie des Cendres" have earned them recognition as one of France's finest doom acts, with their upcoming "Nocturnes" on Ardua Music continuing their tradition of melancholic grandeur.
New Jersey black/death metal outfit who dropped two EPs in 2020 — Hate Fueled Death Ritual and The Unholy Division. The name is a mission statement: angelic imagery torn apart by extreme metal ferocity.
Angelus Mortis is a melodic death and black metal band from Oberkotzau near Hof in Bavaria, Germany, whose 2006 debut album Venerable Grey Epitaph spans nine tracks of metal that crosses between death, black, and thrash territories. The album features songs like Heaven in Ashes and Lucifer's Harvest across thirty-six minutes of aggressive, multi-faceted extreme metal.
Anger in Defeat are a progressive death metal band from Bern, Switzerland, who blend technical riffing with melodic sensibility across releases including their demo "Paradox" and the album "The Anger Way." The band maintains an active presence across streaming platforms and has performed at Swiss metal events such as Metal im Schloss in Köniz.
