San Diego death metal act with impressive longevity, spanning 2007 to 2020. Famine of A Thousand Frozen Years established their epic approach to the genre, while the much later Allies of a Fallen Empire shows a band still committed to their dark vision after over a decade.
Pensacola, Florida crossover thrash outfit with four releases since 2018. Their catalog — from the philosophically titled A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon to the transitional Liminal — pairs Kantian concepts with aggressive punk-metal from the Gulf Coast.
Apostle of Satan practices black metal from Trondheim since 2024. Their blasphemous dedication drives compositions of devotional darkness from Norway's ecclesiastical capital, the seat of the country's Lutheran archbishop.
Indianapolis doom metal institution and one of the Midwest's most respected heavy bands since 2005. Six releases spanning nearly two decades of crushing, emotionally resonant doom have established them as pillars of Indiana's heavy scene, their name perfectly capturing the genre's essence of lonely devastation.
Apostoł practices black metal from an undisclosed Polish location since 2017. Their Polish name meaning 'apostle' brings religious weight to their anonymous black metal ministry.
Brooklyn black metal project with a remarkable seven releases since 2024, including the full-length Albedo and cinematically titled singles. The punctuation-mark name signals a minimalist aesthetic that contrasts with their prolific creative output.
Apotelesma crafts doom and death metal from Utrecht Province since 2017. Named after the astrological concept of cosmic influence on earthly events, they create compositions that channel celestial weight into terrestrial heaviness.
Washington death metal project from the Indiana underground.
Apoteom is a groove metal band from Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, whose roots trace back to a project started in 2007 by guitarists Pedro Ferreira and Maurício Torres. The band evolved from a thrash-heavy debut, Alienation (2013), through the groove-forward Paper God (2016) and into their third album Beautiful Lies (2023), steadily building a reputation in the southern Brazilian metal circuit. Their current lineup has been working on a fourth record.
