Abettor channels death and doom metal from Novocheboksarsk in the Chuvash Republic since 2016. Their accomplice-indicating name drives compositions of complicit heaviness from this Volga River industrial city.
Abhorrent Funeral merges death and doom metal with punk from Poznań since 2016. Their funeral-horror name drives compositions that combine extreme metal's weight with punk's raw directness from western Poland's major city.
Abigeatum creates death and doom metal from Florence since 2020, their Latin name referring to cattle theft — a crime taken seriously enough in Roman law to warrant its own legal category. From the cradle of the Renaissance, they craft music of patient, crushing deliberation.
Abigorum blends black metal, doom metal, and ambient from Saint Petersburg before relocating to Batumi, Georgia, active since 2012. Their multi-genre, multinational journey has produced atmospheric works that transcend geographic boundaries.
Abjvration fuses death and doom metal from Paris since 2015, creating compositions that balance crushing weight with deliberate, suffocating pacing. Their ritualistic denial-themed name suits music that rejects comfort in favor of overwhelming heaviness.
Ablaze in Hatred emerged from Helsinki in 2004 when Juhani Sanna and Mika Ikonen set out to create music that was dark, slow, yet devastatingly heavy and atmospheric. Albums like "The Quietude Plains" established them as a significant voice in Finland's death-doom tradition, blending melodic sensibility with crushing weight.
Abolition Ritual combines death and doom metal from Rome since 2021, their ceremonial name evoking the systematic dismantling of structures — spiritual, physical, or otherwise. Their dual-genre approach brings both crushing weight and methodical aggression to the Roman underground.
Above Aurora blends black and doom metal from Poznań since 2016. Their celestial name — pointing to what lies beyond the northern lights — drives atmospheric compositions from the historical capital of Greater Poland.
Abrahma emerged from the ashes of Parisian band Alcohsonic in 2011, becoming one of the torchbearers of French heavy rock on the international scene. Their psychedelic doom addresses mental health and dark conditions across albums like "In Time for the Last Rays of Light," blending stoner grooves with spiritual and occult themes.
