Anomalie is a black metal project from Leobendorf, Lower Austria, whose output sits within the atmospheric and post-black metal tradition rather than the purely raw underground. Their releases prioritise textured, layered guitar work and shifting dynamics, building lengthy pieces around themes of alienation and natural desolation native to the Central European countryside.
Anomalistic is a two-piece slam and brutal death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, consisting of vocalist Fabio K and guitarist João Holzer. Their sound centers on crushing slam breakdowns interwoven with elements of technical and melodic death metal, and their discography includes the albums "Butchery" (2013), "Dissecting the Living" (2014), "Human Decimation," and "Azoic" (2020).
Anomalize explores progressive death metal from Valls in Catalonia since 2017. From this Tarragona-province town famous for its human tower (castells) tradition, they build towering progressive compositions of structural ambition and death metal intensity.
Anomaliя plays heavy metal from Moscow since 2022. Their Cyrillic-Latin hybrid name — 'Anomaly' with a Russian я — bridges linguistic worlds through straightforward heavy metal from the Russian capital.
A black/death metal project from Kruibeke in the Scheldt region, named after the ancient Cambrian sea predator, and operating under the Bandcamp handle anomalocarisband. The project is rooted in the Belgian extreme metal underground, with music available through Bandcamp.
San Francisco death metal project from the California underground.
Death Metal project from the American underground.
Tampa progressive metal outfit crafting ambitious compositions since 2015. Planet Storm and the earlier Terms of the Saw Doctor EP demonstrate a band that uses prog's expansive toolkit while staying rooted in Florida's heavy music DNA.
Easton, Maryland black metal project with five releases since 2014. Their catalog — from early raw works to the more polished Influencing Machine in 2024 — traces a decade of evolution from the Eastern Shore, an unlikely outpost for atmospheric black metal on the Chesapeake Bay.
