Against the Damned is a melodic death metal band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Their self-titled 2019 EP delivers six tracks of melodic death metal from a state rarely associated with the genre.
Agamendon are a melodic death metal band from Castrop-Rauxel in the Ruhr Valley, Germany, active since 2006, drawing from the Scandinavian melodeath tradition while injecting the industrial grit of their hometown. Nearly two decades in the scene have given them a mature command of the genre's balance between melody and aggression.
Agarwaen is a black metal project named after the Sindarin word meaning 'bloodstained' from Tolkien's legendarium. Their 2019 debut "Dottore I" delivers eight tracks of Tolkien-inspired black metal.
Age of Arcadia are a thrash metal band from Berlin with deep Greek folk influences, drawing lyrical and thematic inspiration from ancient Greek mythology, philosophy, and history. Their 2018 debut Eleysis was recorded in Athens and mixed by Logan Mader in Los Angeles, featuring epic compositions like the nearly twelve-minute Alexander that weave traditional instrumentation into thrash metal frameworks.
Melodic death metal band from Ticino, Switzerland, formed around 2015 with a lineup featuring vocalist Mitch Age alongside guitarists Robin Bressani and Christian Perni. Their 2019 debut album "Compass of Human Heart" represents the culmination of earlier singles released in 2015 and 2016, blending melodic death metal with metalcore and electronic elements.
Agent Slimepunk is a Florida-based project that began as melodic death metal before veering into glitch, dubstep, and electronica. The schizophrenic evolution across four releases — from death metal to electronic music and back — makes this one of the more unpredictable acts in the dataset.
Aglomerat channels melodic death and groove metal from Nizhny Novgorod since 2023. Their industrial-materials name — an agglomerate being a mass of fused fragments — captures the welded-together quality of their dual-genre approach.
Agnosys delivers death and melodic death metal from Paris since 2018, their philosophical name suggesting a systematic approach to unknowing. Their sound brings technical precision to the French capital's extreme metal scene.
