Formed in Madrid in the early 2000s, Amargore is a three-piece where all members share vocal duties, eliminating the traditional frontman role for a collective assault of death-thrash metal. Their debut "The Bloodshot Arrival" draws from Sepultura's classic era while layering in brutal death influences and pig squeal techniques.
Devastating Brutal Death Metal / Goregrind out of Texas.
please update this band
Minneapolis death metal and grindcore hybrid that emerged in 2010 with the Fear & Coercion EP. The band fuses blistering speed with metalcore breakdowns, drawing from the Twin Cities' long tradition of extreme music.
Amber Streams from Søl crafts doom, death, and post-metal from Baden-Württemberg since 2023. Their poetic name, mixing English with the Scandinavian spelling of 'sun,' signals a meditative approach to heavy music that prioritizes atmosphere over aggression.
Ambevilence creates black and death metal from an undisclosed German location since 2021. Their portmanteau of 'amber' and 'ambivalence' — or perhaps deliberate misspelling — adds a layer of intentional uncertainty to their extreme metal.
Death/doom metal band from Switzerland, whose Bandcamp presence places them in the slow, heavy intersection of death and doom metal. They operate in the underground Swiss metal scene, crafting dense, suffocating material in the death-doom tradition.
Bainbridge Island, Washington death metal duo creating brutality from an unlikely Pacific Northwest island locale. Their 2021 debut MCLMXV001 and follow-up Subterranean EP deliver uncompromising heaviness that belies their serene surroundings.
A Prague-based death metal act, Ambivalency have a small physical discography documented on Discogs and represent the underground extreme metal scene of the Czech capital. Their music sits squarely in the aggressive, riff-driven tradition of European death metal.
