Aleera plays heavy metal from Zaporizhia since 2021. Named after one of Dracula's brides in the Van Helsing film, they bring vampiric theatricality to heavy metal from this Dnieper River industrial city.
Temple, Texas depressive black metal act operating at the margins of the genre's most anguished extremes. A deeply underground project with minimal output but maximum emotional intensity.
Alef explores progressive thrash metal from Kyiv since 2017. Named after the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, they bring foundational significance to technically ambitious thrash from the Ukrainian capital.
Somerset, Kentucky sludge metal project. The name's martial variation channels legionary discipline into crushing heaviness from the Daniel Boone country.
Alehammer merges black metal, crust punk, and thrash metal from the West Yorkshire town of Halifax since 2014, their drinking-destruction name capturing the volatile spirit of their genre-crossing assault. Over a decade of punk-metal fury from the Pennines.
Detroit NWOTHM project named after Aleister Crowley. Occult classic metal from the Motor City.
Fort Collins death metal band that's built a rapid-fire discography since 2023, already stacking three releases. Their sound channels relentless brutality with a Western twist their name suggests — death metal for the high plains.
Alek explores progressive metal and hard rock from Kragujevac in central Serbia since 2017. From this automotive-industry city, they craft compositions that balance progressive complexity with hard rock accessibility.
