A Tale of Lacriel creates symphonic and melodic death metal from Moscow since 2022. Their fantasy-narrative name drives orchestrally enriched compositions that tell elaborate tales through the combined vocabulary of symphonic and extreme metal.
Santa Cruz, California melodic death metal project. Biblical language channeled through Scandinavian-influenced riffing from the coastal redwoods.
Asheville, North Carolina melodic death metal project. The name's cynicism channels mountain-town disillusionment through heavy melodicism.
A.N.A.E.L. fuses black metal, death metal, industrial metal, and melodic death metal from the southern French port of Toulon since 2021. Their four-genre fusion creates an unusually broad and ambitious sound from the Provençal underground.
Abandon Agony creates melodic death metal from Trollhättan since 2024. From this Västergötland waterfall city, they deliver freshly forged Swedish melodic death metal that draws from the region's storied tradition.
A DIY deathcore project from Dortmund, Germany, Abascaban blend old-school deathcore elements with modern death metal and grindcore influences. Their self-produced catalog includes the releases In Bardo, Where All Paths End, and A Fleeting Memory, each reflecting a raw, uncompromising independence.
Abdication delivers melodic death metal from Moscow since 2013. Their name — the act of renouncing a throne — drives over a decade of melodic extremity that rejects comfort for aggressive sovereignty.
Abel Is Dying has evolved from melodic death metal and metalcore origins in 2005 through a long run in Milan's heavy music scene. Their biblical name evokes primal violence, which their Lombard-bred sound has explored through multiple stylistic phases.
Abeyance has practiced melodic death metal from Milan since 2019, their name — meaning a state of suspension — reflecting the tension between aggression and melody in their compositions. They contribute to Lombardy's robust melodic extreme metal tradition.
