Avangard explores progressive and technical death metal from Irkutsk as of 2025. Their Russian spelling of 'avant-garde' drives technically ambitious compositions from the gateway city to Lake Baikal.
Avsmak crafts melodic and technical death and black metal from Halmstad since 2019. Their Swedish name meaning 'distaste' drives compositions of refined repulsion from the western Swedish city that produced In Flames.
Avtotheism has evolved from brutal to technical death metal from Brescia since 2017. Their name — suggesting self-deification — drives music of relentless technical precision from this Lombard industrial city.
Axiom Utopia is a technical death metal duo from Hamburg, Germany, formed in 2023, featuring Christoph M. on vocals and Onur B. handling all guitars, bass, composition, recording, and mixing.

Aydra has delivered technical death metal from Ancona on the Adriatic coast of the Marche since 1996, making them one of Italy's longest-running technical death metal acts. Three decades of activity from this port city have produced a substantial body of technically demanding work.
Ayin was a technical death metal band from Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The project was conceived by guitarist/vocalist Abner Ramires in 2003 and realized as a full band in 2010 with the addition of bassist Tiago Romeo and drummer Leonardo Treuherz. Ayin wove themes of chaos, conspiracy, and Thelema through dense, technically demanding compositions, releasing the album "Ordo ab Chao" on Brutal Records before eventually disbanding.
Ash-shur is a technical death metal trio from Tallinn, Estonia, formed in 2024, drawing thematic inspiration from the sinister spirit of the forgotten ancient Near East and the Mesopotamian deity Assur. Their releases Vestiges of Jahiliyyah and Entombed by Sands Erased by Time deliver harsh guitars, grinding bass, blasting drums, and deep growling vocals aimed at both old-school death metal fans and newcomers to the genre.
