Ad Inceptum merges thrash and black metal from Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East since 2016. Their Latin name meaning 'to the beginning' drives compositions that seek origins through the combined aggression of thrash and black metal from the Amur River city.
Ad Nebula Nigra merges black and thrash metal from Burgos in Castile and León since 2016. Their Latin name meaning 'to the black cloud' conjures the dark skies above the Castilian plateau that their extreme metal channels.
Adam Johnston merges metalcore with thrash from the Dorset coastal town of Bournemouth since 2008, bringing nearly two decades of aggressive solo-project energy. Their longevity reflects sustained commitment to heavy music from England's southern coast.
Adamantivm forges heavy and thrash metal from Zaragoza since 2018, their Latinized spelling of 'adamantium' evoking superheroic indestructibility. From Aragon's capital on the Ebro River, they deliver metal with the hardness their name demands.

aDarkPlace delivers death, thrash, and groove metal from Matosinhos near Porto since 2012. Their merged-word name captures the shadowed territory they inhabit through over a decade of multi-genre aggression.

Ademus is a heavy and thrash metal band from Rhode Island. With six releases spanning their career, the band has been a consistent force in the New England metal scene, delivering classic heavy and thrash metal with staying power.
Adeptor thrashes from Pisa since 2019, bringing speed and aggression from a Tuscan city better known for its leaning tower than its metal underground. Their initiatory name suggests discipleship in the art of riff-driven destruction.
