Amen Graves is a melodic death metal band based in Dubai but listed in Germany, whose 2020 debut EP I.Omen delivers five tracks of aggressive yet melodically-driven metal exploring themes of betrayal, cosmic horror, and mythology. The band draws from a pool of collaborators including Sandy SYN and Lars Rettkowitz, blending death metal ferocity with black metal atmospherics and melodic hooks.
Amenézia delivers melodic death and doom metal from Felgueiras in the Minho region since 2018. Their Portuguese-accented variation on amnesia drives compositions that pair melodic sorrow with crushing weight from northern Portugal's granite heartland.
Amissa delivers melodic death metal from Stockholm since 2008. Their Latin name meaning 'lost things' drives nearly two decades of compositions that search for meaning through melodic extremity from the Swedish capital.
Florida melodic death metal project. The amniotic reference channels prenatal imagery through Scandinavian-influenced extremity.
Amherst, Ohio melodic death metal project doubling as the creative engine behind Amniote Editions, a label operation with an almost scientific approach to releasing music. Their catalog reads like a research database — catalogued with genetic nomenclature — but the music itself delivers genuine melodeath power.
Amon Amarth has been one of Sweden's most commercially successful and internationally recognized melodic death metal acts, formed in Tumba south of Stockholm and active since the late 1990s. Their name — Sindarin for Mount Doom — anchors Viking-themed lyrics and powerful Gothenburg-style death metal that has filled arenas worldwide.
Tampa, Florida melodic death metal project. Walking among titans in the city that raised them.
Melodic death metal band formed in Novopolotsk, Belarus in 2014, later relocating to Gdańsk, Poland in 2022. Their sound pairs heavy, riff-driven instrumentation and melodic guitar solos with prominent female vocals, and their albums include "Flight to Immortality," "Your Choice," and "Before the Dawn."
Athens' AmongRuins forge melodic death metal with emotional depth and technical proficiency, balancing Scandinavian-influenced harmonies with Mediterranean passion. Since 2015, they've developed a sound that stands among the best of Greece's melodeath scene.
