Detroit groove metal act drawing from the Motor City's industrial grit and blue-collar toughness, delivering heavy, rhythmic punishment with working-class conviction.
Ashine delivers melodic death and groove metal from Ptuj, one of Slovenia's oldest towns, since 2015. From the banks of the Drava River beneath a medieval castle, they bring a decade of melodic heaviness.
Brighton's Asperitas deliver a crushing blend of death metal, deathcore, and groove metal, shifting between technical precision and brutalising breakdowns. Since 2012, they've honed a sound that balances the cerebral with the visceral, making them a standout in the UK's extreme metal underground.
Aspid has navigated from thrash and groove metal into hard rock and heavy metal territory from Girona in Catalonia since 1991. Over three decades of activity from this medieval walled city, they have proven themselves one of the most enduring bands in the Catalan heavy music scene.
Assembler is a progressive power and groove metal band from Maipú, Chile, formed in 2014 under the name Jala el Gatillo before adopting their current name. In 2021 they released their debut album Serendipia, an eight-song record blending melodic metal with theatrical elements, recorded and mixed at Estudios Arrebol by Felipe Cuevas.
Assent merges groove and progressive metal from Paris since 2017, their affirmative name contrasting with the heavy complexity of their sound. Their rhythmically driven approach combines cerebral composition with visceral impact.
Assfault merges thrash and groove metal from Stockholm since 2010. Their deliberately crude portmanteau of asphalt and a body part drives fifteen years of road-ready aggression from the Swedish capital.
Assigned Fate delivers death metal and groove metal from the Jura mountain town of Pontarlier since 2018, their predestination-themed name reflecting the inevitability of their crushing sound. Their remote origins near the Swiss border lend genuine isolation to their extreme metal.
Fort Wayne, Indiana groove metal band delivering heavy, rhythmic punishment from Northeast Indiana, adding to the Hoosier State's productive underground metal community.
