Artas has delivered melodic death and thrash metal with metalcore influences from Vienna since 2008. Over nearly two decades in the Austrian capital, they have built a reputation for aggressive yet accessible compositions that bridge Scandinavian melodeath with modern metalcore.
Arterial Pressure has been pumping thrash metal through Zaragoza's veins since 2005, making them one of the longer-running thrash acts in the Aragonese capital. Two decades of consistent output speak to their deep dedication to the genre.
Portland, Oregon grindcore and thrash hybrid. The forensic-sounding name evokes crime scene imagery channeled through the Pacific Northwest's inexhaustible extreme underground.
Artery thrashes from Geneva since 2009, nearly two decades of activity from the international city on Lake Léman. Their anatomical name drives a sound that pumps adrenaline through thrash metal's circulatory system.
Artes Negras is a black/thrash metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina whose lyrical themes revolve around paganism, death, and Argentine werewolf folklore (the Lobizón). Their debut album "Let There Be Death" was released on CD in 2004 and featured members performing under pseudonyms including Necromandus on vocals, Lordnatt and Nan Noctambulus on guitars, Hellbastard on bass, and Funeris on drums.
Arthrosis merges death metal, groove metal, and thrash metal from Marseille since 2017, their medical-joint-inflammation name reflecting the punishing physical impact of their sound. Their Phocaean origins connect them to France's second city's growing extreme metal scene.
Artifex blends stoner and thrash metal from Paris since 2014, their Latin name meaning "craftsman" reflecting the skilled construction behind their genre-fusing approach. Their hybrid sound bridges psychedelic haze with thrash's razor-sharp precision.
