Gastonia black metal project from the North Carolina underground.
Manchester death metal project from the New Hampshire underground.
Angel Nation crafts symphonic metal from London since 2014, bringing orchestral drama and soaring vocals to the English capital's diverse metal landscape. Over a decade of sweeping compositions reflect sustained commitment to the genre.
Active since the early 1990s in Murcia, Angel Negro played thrashcore fueled by the influence of Soziedad Alkoholika and Beer Mosh, with socially conscious lyrics delivered in Spanish. Their brief but fiery run produced demos like "Trashgüerta" and "Hombre Rico, Hombre Pobre" before the band disappeared in the mid-1990s.
Jackson groove metal project from the New Jersey underground.
Angel of Light was a black metal band from Piracicaba, São Paulo, active from 1995 to 2003, rooted in the Luciferian and Satanic tradition of Brazilian black metal. The band appeared on the 1999 split "Gloria Patri" alongside fellow Brazilian act Satanaquia, released through MegaTherion.
Detroit stoner metal project whose 2020 single Siren in Scorpio blends cosmic imagery with fuzzy, groove-heavy riffs. Motor City heaviness filtered through astrological mysticism.
Las Vegas heavy metal act keeping the NWOTHM flame burning since 2013. Five releases including the boldly titled Dead Cops and various splits demonstrate a band with punk-adjacent attitude delivering classic heavy metal from the neon-lit desert.
Angel of Nature channels doom and black metal from Poltava since 2010. Their paradoxical name — a celestial being of the natural world — drives fifteen years of compositions that explore the divine within wilderness.
