Acouphène is a raw black metal project from the French underground since 2024, sharing the tinnitus-inspired name with their Lyonnaise counterparts but pursuing an entirely different sonic path. Their stripped-down approach embraces black metal's most hostile frequencies.
Adwersarz channels raw black metal from an undisclosed Polish location since 2015. Their Polish name meaning 'adversary' drives lo-fi compositions of committed hostility from the depths of the underground.
Aegrotus is an anonymous Finnish raw black metal project active since 2017, embracing the lo-fi hostility and obscured identity that define the genre's most uncompromising wing. Their Latin name, meaning "sick" or "diseased," reflects the pestilent nature of their sound.
Aegult channels raw black metal from Manchester since 2021, embracing the lo-fi hostility that defines the genre's most uncompromising wing. Their stripped-down approach draws darkness from one of England's most industrial cities.
Agaharet channels raw black metal from Bologna since 2017, bringing lo-fi hostility to the sophisticated cultural landscape of Emilia-Romagna. Their obscure name adds mystique to a sound that values atmosphere and rawness over production polish.
Agares was a black metal band from Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazán, Honduras, active from 2006 to 2007. The band released a demo in 2007 and later appeared on the split Our Majesty Abomination (2022) via Croquemort Productions, the only label release associated with the project. Their material centers on themes of chaos and misotheism.
Agnus were a raw black metal band from Teófilo Otoni, Minas Gerais, active only briefly in 2024 before splitting up. A short-lived project in the Brazilian underground, they operated in the lo-fi, stripped-back tradition of raw black metal with no production sheen and minimal structure.
Agvará is a raw black metal project from Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina, that released its debut demo Shadow Rivers in March 2025. The three-track recording features songs drawn from indigenous Guaraní mythology — including "The spirit of the mountain (Ka'a Póra)", "Vampire (Mbopi)", and "The crying woman (La Porá)" — blending lo-fi black metal aesthetics with themes rooted in regional folklore. Guitar work was contributed by Bruno Proyexida (ex-Escafismo), with drums tracked by Benjamín of Black Pappo.
Aikeimd channels raw black metal from an undisclosed Dutch location since 2021. Their cryptic, indecipherable name reinforces the deliberate obscurity of their lo-fi black metal approach.
