Carbondale, Illinois metalcore act with remarkable longevity, spanning 2005 to 2018. From their debut Images of Disgust to the much later Perpetual Fracture, they've endured through the genre's boom-and-bust cycle, anchored in Southern Illinois University's college-town scene.
Another Victory is a metalcore and death metal band from Aachen, Germany, formed in 2023, fusing metalcore's breakdown-driven intensity with death metal's ferocity. The band is a recent addition to the active metal scene in the westernmost city of Germany.
Green Bay thrash metal project from the Wisconsin underground.
Anthemdown is a metalcore band from Osnabruck, Germany, formed in 2013, delivering the genre's signature combination of melodic passages and aggressive breakdowns. The band contributes to the Lower Saxony metalcore scene with their intense, hook-driven approach.
Antichambre merges metalcore with progressive metal from Paris since 2022, their French word for "antechamber" evoking a space of transition and anticipation. Their sound occupies the liminal zone between aggression and complexity.
Antropos is a Brazilian groove metal and metalcore band formed in 2020, blending the heavy mid-tempo rhythms and chugging riffs of groove metal with the melodic structures and dynamic range characteristic of metalcore. Active within Brazil's contemporary underground scene, the band represents the country's ongoing absorption and reinterpretation of international heavy subgenres through a distinctly South American lens. They distribute their music independently through Bandcamp.
Baltimore groove metal and metalcore project whose 2017 demo captures raw, unpolished aggression from Charm City's heavy underground. The Egyptian mythology motif paired with 'unbound' suggests a band breaking free from genre constraints.
Phoenix, Arizona metalcore act whose 2017 EP Made For Death delivers aggressive, breakdown-heavy extremity from the Valley of the Sun. Desert heat fueling punishing heaviness.
Aphellium creates melodic groove metal and metalcore from Warsaw since 2018. Their astronomical name — referencing the point farthest from the sun — drives compositions that explore the distance between melody and aggression.
