Antenor are a thrash metal band from Cipolletti in Argentina's Patagonian province of Río Negro, drawing on the classic influences of Megadeth, Testament, and Sepultura. Their 2016 album Círculo del Infierno, released through Tommy Gun Records and distributed via Universal Music, established them across the Patagonian circuit and earned them dates in Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile. The band is built around brothers Nicolás and Gustavo Estrada.
Raleigh/Cary, North Carolina death metal and progressive project named after the second ring of the ninth circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno. Their 2018 debut Horrors channels literary horror through technically accomplished extreme metal from the Research Triangle.
Ypsilanti, Michigan black metal project with a prolific seven-release catalog since 2013. From self-titled EPs to splits, they've built a substantial body of atmospheric black metal from the fringes of the Detroit metro area, their invented name adding to the enigmatic presentation.
Austin sludge metal outfit whose 2012 EP Titan delivers monolithic heaviness befitting its mythological title. A contribution to Austin's diverse heavy music scene that extends well beyond the city's reputation for psych rock.
A thrash metal band from Pilsen (Plzeň) in western Bohemia, Anteros operate within the Czech underground metal scene. Their Bandcamp page resolves to a post-hardcore band from Barcelona, suggesting the Prague listing may share the slug with another act, and further specific release details for this Czech band were not verifiable through available sources.
Antes Que Todos Mueran is a hardcore and groove metal band from Lanús, Buenos Aires, formed in 2017. Their self-titled debut EP, recorded in August 2016 and featuring vocalist Enzo Cardozo alongside guitarist Germán López and bassist Hugo Blanco, laid down four tracks of aggressive, groove-driven hardcore. The band has remained active in the Buenos Aires underground scene and continued releasing material on streaming platforms.
Antesser delivers brutal death metal and grindcore from Smolensk since 2000. Over a quarter century from this ancient western Russian fortress city, they have maintained a relentless commitment to punishing extremity.
Anthagora are a Vienna death/grindcore band whose discography was catalogued under the mantragora Bandcamp imprint. Rooted in the grinding extremity of acts like Napalm Death and Repulsion, they combine hyper-compressed blastbeat assaults with caustic low-end death metal heaviness.
A speed/thrash metal institution from São Paulo, founded in 1984 and among the earliest bands in the city's underground metal scene alongside Korzus and Attomica. Their 1987 debut "No Limite da Força" is regarded as a classic of Brazilian national metal, and the band returned after a hiatus with "O Caos da Razão" in 2015 to mark their 30th anniversary, followed by "Anthares Espetáculo Sangrento" in 2025. The current lineup centers on guitarists Topperman and Mauricio Amaral, bassist Pardal, drummer Evandro Jr., and vocalist Diego Nogueira, carrying forward their trademark aggressive riffing and politically charged lyrical stance.
