Akela channels the twin assault of power and thrash metal from Budapest, where they formed in 2011. Their sound bridges the anthemic melodies of power metal with the abrasive velocity of thrash, reflecting the duality embedded in their lupine namesake.
New York City power metal and speed metal project. The predatory name promises hunting music from Manhattan.
Akroma is a power metal band from Río Cuarto, in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, active since the mid-2000s in the country's underground metal circuit. The band contributed a cover of "Gates of Babylon" to the Argentine Ronnie James Dio tribute compilation Memento: Homenaje a un Grande in 2012, alongside acts such as Helker and Adrián Barilari. They represent Córdoba's provincial power metal scene, outside the Buenos Aires capital cluster where most Argentine metal activity is concentrated.
Akt plays heavy and power metal from Skövde in Västergötland since 2016. Their name — Swedish and German for 'act' — drives a decade of performative metal from this western Swedish military-garrison city.
Alastria brings power and symphonic metal from the cathedral city of Canterbury since 2016, channeling Kent's medieval heritage into epic, orchestrally-enriched compositions. Their approach brings the grandeur of Canterbury's history to the metal stage.

Alchemist is a thrash/groove metal band from Los Angeles with a prolific output of fifteen releases between 2018 and 2020. The project's rapid-fire catalog includes EPs with names like "Bread" and "BOLDFACE," suggesting an irreverent approach to heavy music.
Alchil plays speed and power metal from Partanna in Trapani province, deep in western Sicily, since 2011. Their presence in this remote corner of the island demonstrates the reach of classic European metal traditions into Italy's most peripheral communities.
