Rochester/New York City NWOTHM project whose 2019 debut Rise delivers triumphant traditional metal named after the mythical island of Arthurian legend. Classic heavy metal reaching for paradise.
Avante! charges forward with heavy metal from the Galician town of Arteixo, just outside A Coruña, since 2015. Their exclamatory name captures the forward momentum of their riff-driven approach to traditional metal.
Avator is a heavy metal band with thrash elements from Germering near Munich, Germany, active since 1998, delivering over two decades of aggressive, riff-driven metal. The band represents the enduring vitality of the Bavarian heavy metal scene.
Avenger is a traditional heavy metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active since 1998. Rooted in the classic British and American heavy metal tradition — with clear debts to Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and Motörhead — the band plays no-frills steel with a São Paulo underground sensibility, maintaining an active presence in the Brazilian metal circuit across multiple decades.
Southampton's Aventurine blend heavy metal muscle with metalcore dynamics, creating an accessible yet powerful sound that moves between melodic hooks and aggressive breakdowns. Active since 2017, they bridge the gap between classic and contemporary heavy music.
Average Savage plays heavy and power metal from Lillehammer, the Olympic winter sports city in Oppland, since 2019. Their oxymoronic name — an ordinary barbarian — brings self-deprecating humor to their Gudbrandsdalen-born metal.
Averblack is a melodic death metal and metalcore band from Troisdorf near Bonn, Germany, formed in 2016, whose releases include Torn Between Two Hells, The Downfall Show, and Gaslighting Asylum. The band's thematically dark album titles reflect a sound that balances melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with metalcore's aggressive edge.
Averlanche delivers heavy metal from Helsinki since 2020, their name a play on "avalanche" that captures the overwhelming force of their riff-driven approach. The project contributes fresh energy to the Finnish capital's traditional metal community.
Averno plays heavy metal from Donostia-San Sebastián since 2007, named after the Italian name for Avernus, the entrance to the underworld in Roman mythology. Over nearly two decades in the Basque Country's most elegant city, they have maintained a commitment to traditional heavy metal values.
