Agoniza are a thrash/death metal band from São Paulo formed in 2020 and self-releasing their material independently. Emerging from the city's long-running extreme metal underground, they combine the direct aggression of thrash with death metal heaviness in the tradition of São Paulo's prolific extreme metal scene.
Agonize are a Tuzla-based black/death metal band who incorporate melodic black metal into their framework, drawing on the twin lineages of Scandinavian melodic black and the rawer Eastern European underground. Their releases blend melodic tremolo guitar lines with blasting intensity and a darkly atmospheric production that marks them as one of Bosnia's more distinctive extreme metal acts.
A death metal band from Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, formed in 2017 and active only briefly before splitting up. They played in the straightforward Brazilian death metal tradition, drawing on the aggressive, guitar-driven sound typical of the country's underground scene.
Agonizing Torture is a brutal death metal band with deathcore elements from Houston, Texas. Their 2021 EP "Chambers of Torture" lives up to the band's name with five tracks of punishing extremity from the Texas Gulf Coast.
Agony and Scream delivers brutal death metal from Hainburg in Hesse since 2010. Their visceral, pain-announcing name leaves no ambiguity about the physical intensity of their sonic assault.
Raleigh, North Carolina death metal project. Sacred suffering channeled through extremity from the Research Triangle.
Agony Face has delivered technical death metal from Milan since 2007, nearly two decades of activity producing a body of technically demanding, brutally precise work. Their visceral name captures the contorted intensity that their Lombard technical death metal induces.
Agoraphobia are a death metal band from Mönchzell in the Rhine-Neckar area of Germany, active since 2017, channeling extreme metal from the rural fringes of the Odenwald. Not to be confused with the Spanish rock band of the same name, this German incarnation delivers the genre's heaviest traditions.
Grindcore band from Rio de Janeiro formed around 2000, active intermittently since with a resumed presence from 2015 onward. Singing predominantly in Portuguese, their lyrics take on social and political themes — anti-war, anti-prejudice, environmental devastation — delivered over tight, blast-driven grind across releases including the demo 'Evergrind', the LP 'Ruptura', and the 2017 EP 'Infrator'.
