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.
Angis has transitioned from doom and death metal into pagan black metal from Kaunas since 2017. Their Lithuanian name meaning 'snake' threads through compositions that have shed their skin to reveal new stylistic forms.
Angizia are a long-running Viennese avant-garde ensemble who blend doom, gothic, and symphonic metal with chamber music and Expressionist literary themes. Albums such as Das Schachbrett des Trommelbuben Zacharias and Das Tagebuch der Hanna Anikin are full-length conceptual works that function almost as dark operettas, using strings, piano, and sung German narrative to tell bleak, Kafkaesque stories.
Angmodnes channels funeral doom metal from Utrecht since 2022. Their Old English name meaning 'anxiety' or 'anguish' guides glacially paced compositions of profound emotional weight from the Dutch cathedral city.
Angor is a Vienna-based black/doom project whose recordings layer glacial, dirge-paced riffs over a bleak atmosphere shaped by early-Scandinavian black metal orthodoxy. Their music favours long-form compositions that unfold slowly, weaponising repetition and dissonance to cultivate a sense of spiritual desolation.
Angurth crafts atmospheric black and doom metal from Volgograd since 2022. From the city formerly known as Stalingrad — site of the WWII battle that changed history — they create compositions of vast, solemn weight.
Angus Black conjures doom and stoner metal from Helsinki since 2017, blending crushing heaviness with the hazy grooves of psychedelic rock. Their sound navigates the murky intersection of Finland's doom metal heritage and stoner rock's cosmic wanderings.
Anima Tempest channels gothic and doom metal from Moscow since 2022. Their Latin name meaning 'soul storm' drives compositions of tempestuous dark romanticism from the Russian capital.
Ankhagram has evolved from melodic doom and death metal into funeral doom and post-rock from Yekaterinburg since 2012. Their Egyptian-mystical name has guided over a decade of increasingly patient and contemplative compositions from the Ural capital.
