Aygghon delivers heavy metal and thrash metal from the Gascon town of Auch starting in 2026, representing the absolute newest wave of metal from France's rural southwest. Their arrival brings fresh energy to the Gers department's nascent metal scene.
Aythya Fuligula delivers melodic death and thrash metal from Moscow since 2020. Named after the tufted duck species with perfect Latin binomial precision, they bring ornithological exactitude to their dual-genre compositions.
Azel delivers heavy metal and thrash metal from the Loire Valley city of Tours since 2015, channeling a decade of dual-genre intensity from the heart of château country. Their sound brings aggressive urgency to one of France's most culturally refined cities.
Azote delivers groove and thrash metal from Madrid since 2019, hitting with the punishing impact their whip-like name implies. Their hybrid approach fuses the rhythmic heaviness of groove metal with thrash's velocity.
Azoth is a thrash metal band from Brasília, Brazil, active since 2015. Named after the alchemical term for mercury and the philosophical universal solvent, the band delivers aggressive, riff-driven thrash rooted in the classic Bay Area and Brazilian traditions. They remain an active presence in the Brasília metal underground and maintain a Bandcamp profile through Azoth Recordings.
Newcastle's Azzy burst onto the scene in 2024 with energetic thrash metal fuelled by youthful aggression and classic Bay Area influence. Their stripped-down approach delivers pure thrash without pretension.
Ação Libertária is an antifascist crossover thrash band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, blending hardcore punk aggression with thrash metal riffing and sharp socio-political commentary. Their 2016 full-length "Cidadão de Bem" — a sardonic swipe at Brazilian conservative culture — captures the band's confrontational energy and reflects the turbulent political climate of mid-2010s Brazil.
