Technical death metal band from Aracaju, Sergipe, named after Irineu Evangelista de Souza, the Baron of Mauá, the 19th-century industrialist who tried to modernize Brazil against government resistance. The band blends precision death metal with progressive and harmonic sensibilities, drawing influences from across the extreme spectrum from Napalm Death to Radiohead, and released the EP Conscience as an early showcase of their refined, worked-out approach. They have shared stages with established Brazilian acts including Torture Squad.
A Mind Traveller delivers technical deathcore from Veliky Novgorod since 2017. From one of Russia's oldest cities — the ancient capital of the Novgorod Republic — they bring psychological exploration to modern extreme metal.
A Night in the Abyss merges death metal, deathcore, symphonic metal, and technical death metal from Brighton since 2015, creating an ambitiously broad sound from the seaside city. Their four-genre fusion produces compositions of remarkable scope and intensity.
Absolutism is a technical death metal and grindcore band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2022, featuring Will Bedonow on guitars, Emre Akan on vocals, Jesper Boenigk on drums, and Gaspar Del Valle on bass. Their releases Blasting Trilok I, Asynchronous, and the 2025 album Stream of Consciousness deliver sharp, fast, unorthodox, and violent tech death grind exploring themes of burnout and societal pressure.
Acheode has undergone a significant evolution from melodic death metal and metalcore beginnings to technical death metal and deathcore, operating from Verona since 2012. Their stylistic journey reflects the restless creative energy of the Veneto metal underground.
Acrimonious is a technical death metal band from Concepción, Chile, with roots going back to 1991 under the name Crematory before adopting their current name in 1992. The band released the full-length "Crisis de Odio" in 2005 and the EP "Infierno Terrenal" in 2017, both recorded in Concepción, along with the demo compilation "Unburied Past" in 2020. Their current lineup features Mauricio Cea on vocals, Jorge Matus and Danilo Garcia on guitars, Raúl Seguel on bass, and Patricio Lepe on drums.
Aenimus was a technical death metal and deathcore band from Santa Rosa, California, formed in 2010. They released their debut Transcend Reality in 2013 independently, followed by Dreamcatcher in 2019 on Nuclear Blast Records, which displayed a more progressive and melodic dimension alongside their technical death metal core. The band dissolved in 2024, having earned comparisons to Whitechapel and Veil of Maya during their run.
Aeuphoria is a technical death metal band from Del Viso, Buenos Aires, Argentina, whose five-piece lineup — featuring Gustavo Alvarez Vivar on vocals, Damian Guardo and Nahuel Gannon on guitars, Franco Fuentes on bass, and Andres Fernandez on drums — came together in 2015 and released their debut album Æthernal Velum in 2016. The record blends the clinical precision of technical death metal with atmospheric and black metal textures, drawing comparisons to both Cascadian and Scandinavian approaches to extreme music. Æthernal Velum was recorded and produced by Alejandro Olmedo and earned the band attention from international metal publications for its ambitious scope.
After Oblivion are a technical death/thrash band from Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose music sits at the complex, precise end of the death metal spectrum.
