Altjira merges heavy and thrash metal from Parma since 2017, named after the Aboriginal Australian sky deity who dreamed the world into existence. This cross-hemispheric mythological reference lends cosmic weight to their Emilian metal.
Alzheir thrashes from Istanbul since 2019. Their Alzheimer's-referencing name drives compositions of memory-eroding velocity from Turkey's largest city.
San Antonio progressive metal outfit formed in 2023, channeling technical precision and atmospheric songwriting into a sound that pushes beyond conventional genre boundaries. Their debut EP The Outer Limits captures a band already comfortable with complex arrangements.
Albany thrash unit tearing through New York's capital region since 2021 with a prolific output that includes multiple full-lengths and splits. Their sound blends classic thrash aggression with a restless creative energy, covering ground from the raw fury of Royal Nothing to the refined attack of Best Behavior.
Winchester, Virginia doom merchants conjuring heavy, psychedelia-laced riffs since 2017. Named after the genus of poisonous mushrooms, their catalog sprawls across multiple EPs and full-lengths that explore the intersection of crushing weight and hypnotic repetition, from the lysergic haze of Love³ to the pandemic-era Quarantine in Warm.
Hailing from the Basque town of Laudio, Amankomun unleashes death-thrash metal with lyrics rooted in Basque cultural identity. Formed in 2019, they channel the region's fierce independent spirit into a volatile mix of extreme metal aggression.
Amaraun delivers thrash and heavy metal from Bilbao since 2003, over two decades of Basque Country metal from the industrial heart of Biscay. Their name carries the weight of a long career in the fiercely independent Basque metal underground.
Formed in Madrid in the early 2000s, Amargore is a three-piece where all members share vocal duties, eliminating the traditional frontman role for a collective assault of death-thrash metal. Their debut "The Bloodshot Arrival" draws from Sepultura's classic era while layering in brutal death influences and pig squeal techniques.
Amaryl delivers melodic heavy and thrash metal from Brindas near Lyon since 2020. Their floral name — referencing the Amaryllis flower — brings an unexpected botanical beauty to the muscular riffing of their Rhône Valley metal.
