Agoyzen delivers death metal from the Basque Country since 2016, their Basque-language name bringing the ancient Euskara tongue into extreme metal territory. Their Basque identity distinguishes them within Spain's broader death metal landscape.
New York City black metal project. Named after the demon queen of the night, adding Jewish demonology to NYC's diverse black metal scene.
Formed in the industrial town of Tatabánya in 1997, Agregator fuses the melodic intensity of Swedish-style death metal with gothic metal's brooding elegance. Their sound sits at the crossroads of aggression and melancholy, a combination that has sustained them through nearly three decades in Hungary's underground.
Agroterrorism is a death metal and grindcore band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 2017 and active in the city's extreme underground scene. The band has self-released a series of EPs titled Tentacle, Muzzle, and Tusk, each maintaining the brutal and concise format typical of the grindcore genre. Their output reflects the raw, caustic energy that characterizes Argentina's death-grind underground.
Agroth creates death metal from Luleå on the Gulf of Bothnia since 2018. From this Norrbotten steel-industry city near the Arctic Circle, they forge death metal tempered by subarctic cold.
Agruss channels atmospheric post-black, death, and sludge metal from Rivne in northwestern Ukraine since 2012. Their multi-genre approach draws from the vast forests and marshlands of the Volhynian landscape surrounding their city.
Aguara delivers death metal from Lubin in Lower Silesia as of 2025. Named after a South American canid, their copper-mining-town origins bring mineral-hard brutality to the Polish death metal landscape.
Emerging from Vigo's metal scene in 2011, Agónica spent years refining their melodic death metal identity before recording their debut "A New Onset" in 2012 with producer Pedro Mendes at Ultrasound Studios. Their sound balances the aggression of Galician extreme metal with carefully layered melodic structures.
