Westland, Michigan death metal project whose 2019 single Unscathed delivers unbowed extremity from the Detroit suburbs. The regal name promises dominion through heaviness.
Archtribe plays heavy metal from Stockholm since 2001. Over a quarter century from the Swedish capital, they have maintained a tribal approach to traditional heavy metal.
Archtype is a power metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2013, carrying forward influences rooted in the classic Brazilian power metal tradition. Their lyrical themes revolve around esotericism and prophecy, setting them apart from the more fantasy-oriented peers in the genre. The band emerged partly from the lineage of earlier São Paulo acts and has remained active on the underground circuit.
Archura explores progressive and melodic death metal from İzmir since 2019. Their enigmatic name drives technically ambitious compositions from Turkey's Aegean coast.

Archvile channels black metal from Norwich since 2020, their Doom-game-inspired name referencing one of the franchise's most feared enemies. Their East Anglian origins feed a distinctly modern approach to the genre.
Archvile King channels melodic black metal with thrash elements from Nantes since 2020, their video-game-inspired name referencing the fearsome Doom enemy. Their genre-blending approach creates a distinctly modern take on the French black metal tradition.
Archæic crafts melodic black metal from Bursa since 2024. Their deliberately archaic spelling drives compositions that reach back to ancient forms from this former Ottoman capital at the foot of Mount Uludağ.
Arcillah thrashes from Stockholm since 2011. Over a decade of riff-driven thrash from the Swedish capital has established their place in Stockholm's metal underground.
