Antagonyze is a death metal band from the Bio Bio region of Chile, founded by guitarists Ignacio Riveros and Francisco Álvarez and bassist Mateo Gutiérrez. The band released the demo cassette Echoes from Soul in 2020 and later re-recorded and expanded that material into their debut full-length Interpretations of the Unknown Wilderness, released in April 2024 on Chaos Records. The album was recorded at Estudio Chains in Los Ángeles, Chile, and drew praise for its old-school 1990s death metal approach with thrashing, prog-inflected intensity.
Antagrel practices black metal from İzmir since 2019. Their name drives compositions of atmospheric hostility from Turkey's third-largest city on the Aegean coast.
Antalgia was born from guitarist Igna Jover's progressive ambitions in Lleida in late 2008, evolving from a metal cover band into a fully original symphonic prog-metal project. Albums like "Perception of Reality" and "Twisted Dreams of Dark Commander" showcase increasingly polished compositions mastered at Finland's legendary Finnvox Studios.
Antar creates symphonic melodic death metal from Surgut in western Siberia since 2018. Named after the pre-Islamic Arabian warrior-poet, they bring desert mythology to orchestrally enriched extremity from the frigid oil capital of the Khanty-Mansi region.
Eugene, Oregon black metal entity whose 2015 self-titled EP channels the Pacific Northwest's primeval forests into raw atmospheric extremity. A single statement of intent from the Willamette Valley underground.
Houston death metal project exploring temporal themes since 2023. Their releases — titled with timestamps like 81:03 and 23:03 — suggest a conceptual framework beneath the brutality, freezing the tropical Houston heat into something glacial and unforgiving.
New York City black metal project with six releases since 2022, including modular synthesis sample packs that blur the line between metal and electronic experimentation. Named after the red supergiant star, their music reflects a cosmic ambition rare in the underground.
Antares Predator merges black and thrash metal from Trondheim since 2010. Named after the red supergiant star paired with a hunter's identity, their stellar-predatory combination drives aggressive metal from central Norway.
Omaha doom metal project from the Nebraska underground.
