Ancient Immortality creates metalcore from Moscow since 2020. Their paradoxical name — the old that never dies — brings a timeless quality to the contemporary aggression of their metalcore compositions.
Ancst is a Berlin-based band blending blackened metalcore, cyber crust, and dark ambient, describing themselves as 'blackened MxC and cyber crust by day, dark ambient by night.' Their extensive discography includes albums like Neural Collapse, Dominion, Culture of Brutality, and Binary Wrath, and the band maintains an active European touring schedule with dates across the continent.
Anesys fuses death metal, melodic death metal, and metalcore from the Atlantic port of La Rochelle since 2016. Their anesthesia-inspired name contrasts with music designed to jolt listeners into full sensory awareness.
Angelreich has delivered metalcore from Piła in Greater Poland since 1999, over a quarter century of activity that makes them one of Poland's longest-running metalcore acts. Their Germanic-angelic name brings a Central European identity to a style more commonly associated with American origins.
Anger in Defeat are a progressive death metal band from Bern, Switzerland, who blend technical riffing with melodic sensibility across releases including their demo "Paradox" and the album "The Anger Way." The band maintains an active presence across streaming platforms and has performed at Swiss metal events such as Metal im Schloss in Köniz.
