A three-piece black metal band from Teresina, Piauí, in northeastern Brazil, formed in 2011 and devoted to the rawer, more primitive sound of 1980s black metal. Their 2017 debut album "Cold Embrace" — recorded at Orange Studio — showcases a sound that leans on lo-fi atmosphere, with lyrics inspired by nihilism, 18th-century poetics, and primitive culture. The band features Mephistopheles on guitar, Sadist on drums and vocals, and Poet on bass.
Marion, Indiana grindcore act with three releases since 2015. Their full-length Luciform and the later Climbing Agnes deliver relentless blasts of fury from a small Midwestern city, the kind of overlooked town where extreme music provides an essential outlet.
Anthropovore channels black metal from Paris since 2021, their man-eating name signaling a project intent on consuming all that is human. The project adds a misanthropic voice to the French capital's dense black metal community.
Anthurium weaves progressive and symphonic metal from the small Catalan town of Santa Eugènia de Berga, creating elaborate compositions that draw from both classical and metal traditions. Since 2019, the project has cultivated a layered, intricate sound that defies their rural origins.
Anti Anti Anti is a thrash metal and crossover band from Cologne, Germany, formed in 2014, blending the speed and fury of thrash metal with the raw energy and attitude of punk-influenced crossover. The band brings a confrontational, high-energy approach to the Rhineland metal and punk scenes.
