Antimensch is a black and thrash metal band from Guben, Germany, established in 2013 as the successor to the long-running project Schleisse Stankend Gliud, featuring gref grf on vocals, evil on guitar, neosathan on drums, and dschonsen on bass. Their 2017 album Sei Gott delivers seven original tracks of anti-religious, provocative metal alongside covers of Mayhem, Slayer, Twisted Sister, and Darkthrone, released in limited physical editions of two hundred CDs and one hundred eleven hand-numbered vinyl copies.
Antimonium has been thrashing from Toulouse since 2000, making them one of the Pink City's longest-running thrash metal acts. Over two decades of consistent output speak to deep dedication within the Occitan thrash scene.
Innsbruck's Antipath fuse groove metal's mid-paced rhythmic punch with progressive arrangements and thrash metal aggression, producing music that shifts between churning riff cycles and more elaborately structured passages. Their album Empire of Iron showcases a confident, technically literate approach that distinguishes them from the Austrian metal underground's rawer fringes.
Antireligion is a São Paulo-based one-man black/thrash metal project formed in 2011, rooted firmly in the old-school tradition of the genre. The project has released demos including 'Total Desolation' and 'Demo II: Unholy Blasphemies 2012–2014', channeling the raw, aggressive spirit of early Brazilian and European black/thrash pioneers. Lyrically, the project centers on anti-religious themes consistent with the second-wave black metal tradition.
A stalwart of the Basque metal underground since 1998, Antisepsia has been delivering heavy and thrash metal from the small Gipuzkoan town of Legazpi for over two decades. Their longevity speaks to a deep commitment to the genre in one of Spain's most active metal regions.
Antisilence merges death and thrash metal from Istanbul since 2020. Their noise-embracing name drives compositions that reject quietude through dual-genre aggression from the Turkish megalopolis.
