A melodic death and groove metal five-piece from Duisburg, A Bond Between formed in early 2021 and released their debut EP Of Light & Suffering in October 2022. The band's lyrics confront inner conflict, depression, and societal pressure, delivered through a combination of guttural and clean vocals over melodic, groove-heavy riffing.
A Constant Storm blends melodic death and black metal with progressive, gothic, and folk elements from Porto since 2014. Their tempestuous name captures the relentless creative energy driving their genre-spanning approach from Portugal's northern capital.
Thessaloniki's A Crack in Time blend melodic death metal with progressive metal ambition, creating technically accomplished compositions that balance aggression with intricate musicianship. Since 2011, they've drawn from the rich Greek metal tradition while incorporating modern progressive elements.
A solo project by Jonas Werling based in Rhineland-Palatinate, A Dance in Yellow blends melodic black metal and melodic death metal through a lens of Lovecraftian and Eldritch Horror mythology. Werling released The Cracks in the Wall in 2021 and Madness and Blood in 2022, building a self-described fusion of fear and anger into dense, atmospheric metal compositions.
Ferocious Industrial / Thrash / Groove Metal from Phoenix, Arizona (early); Austin, Texas (later).
Clovis, New Mexico melodic death/thrash project. The name's simultaneous evocation of autumn and collapse channels the high plains wind into heavy music.
Birmingham, Alabama deathcore and melodeath project. The paradoxical name — finding a cause worth ultimate sacrifice — adds existential weight to Magic City brutality.
A Distorted Utopia delivers melodic death metal from Bedford since 2016, their oxymoronic name reflecting music that balances beauty and corruption. Their sound channels the tension between idealism and harsh reality.
A Goat as Our Shepherd are a Belgian death metal band operating across the groove and melodic death metal spectrum, releasing music under the agaos Bandcamp imprint. Their sound favours heavy rhythmic riffing and dynamic mid-paced passages drawn from the American groove-death tradition, with melodic lead work that softens the edges of an otherwise punishing approach.
