Alchimia creates gothic and doom metal from Vico Equense on the Sorrentine Peninsula overlooking the Bay of Naples since 2017. Named with the Italian spelling of 'alchemy,' they transmute the dramatic beauty of their coastal setting into darkly romantic metal.
Alchimist is a progressive power metal band from São Luís, Maranhão, originally founded in 2014 with roots in classic acts like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest before developing an aggressive, technical sound drawing from Symphony X, Dream Theater, and Angra. The band released their debut EP "The Wisher" in 2016, featuring five tracks including the single "Beyond Darkness," and went on to perform at local shows in Maranhão's growing metal scene.
Alcocide is a thrash/heavy metal band from Dayton, Ohio. Their 2024 EP "Voices of the Dead" delivers three tracks of thrash from the birthplace of aviation.
Alcohelldrugs is a raw speed/thrash and metal-punk duo from Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco, formed in 2018 by brothers Thiago Xaruto and Henrique Alcoholic out of the northeastern Brazilian underground. The band released the EP "Never Stop the Madness" and the split "Hellish Alcoholic Attack" with Burial Ground, as well as the 2020 album "Infernal Metal Punk" through Murder Records, playing chaotic, lo-fi thrash punk in the tradition of Brazilian and international extremity.
Alcoholatry celebrates stoner and doom metal worship from Brno since 2013, their name combining alcohol with idolatry in a statement of devotional hedonism. The Moravian capital's vibrant underground scene supports their hazy, riff-centric liturgy.
Alcoholic Alliance Disciples have practiced southern metal from Cagliari since 2009, bringing a Sardinian interpretation of American-influenced whiskey-soaked heaviness. Their party-hearty identity translates into riff-heavy, groove-laden music built for maximum volume.
Alcoholic Rites are a thrash metal band from San Vicente de Tagua Tagua, in Chile's O'Higgins region, who have been active since the early 2010s. Their discography includes the albums Alkomanifesto (2010) and Fermented in Hell (2013), along with the 2016 split Drunk and in Charge with Lustrum on the Eternal Death label, and Rope of the Spirits (2022). The band's self-described "Alcoholic Dirty Heavy Thrash Metal of War" sound is rooted in old-school thrash with lyrics written entirely in Spanish.
