Granada's All iN Mind pairs Olga Rock's clean vocals with Joseph Ghard's guttural growls over stylish, varied alternative metal compositions. Their latest work "Decisions, Consequences" showcases a band comfortable weaving melodic hooks into crushing heaviness.
All Is Dust merges death metal, deathcore, and groove metal from the Norman capital of Rouen since 2017, creating a nihilistic blend of modern extreme styles. Their apocalyptic name captures the devastation at the core of their sound.
Allfather merges doom, groove, and sludge metal from the Medway towns in Kent since 2014, named after the Norse supreme deity Odin. Over a decade of crushing, multi-genre heaviness from the Thames estuary speaks to deep roots in the southeast's underground.
Allgema channels groove metal from Lisbon since 2020. Their Portuguese name meaning 'handcuff' or 'shackle' drives compositions of constrained, rhythmically imprisoned aggression from the capital.
Stuart, Florida groove metal project. The metallurgical name — a blend of metals — fits the hybrid nature of their rhythmically driven sound from the Treasure Coast.
Martinez, California groove metal project. The name's near-death proximity channels survival instinct through East Bay heaviness.
Alpha Q blends groove and progressive metal with rock from Sibiu since 2022. From the European Capital of Culture 2007, they bring stylistic versatility to Transylvania's metal scene.
New York City groove metal project. The name's suggestion of primal hierarchy channels dominance through rhythmic heaviness.
Alter the Chronicle creates melodic groove metal from Moscow since 2015. Their history-rewriting name drives over a decade of rhythmically charged compositions that seek to reshape metal's narrative from the Russian capital.
