Argesk channels melodic black metal from Manchester since 2018, contributing to the northwest's growing black metal presence. Their enigmatic name suits a project that balances raw aggression with melodic sophistication.
Argharus channels black metal from Šiauliai in northern Lithuania since 2015, the city famous for its Hill of Crosses — a pilgrimage site of thousands of crucifixes. This extraordinary religious landmark provides an unlikely but potent backdrop for their black metal.
Raleigh, North Carolina black metal project whose 2017 demo captures raw, primitive fury. The name itself sounds like a guttural exclamation of horror — fitting for music this abrasive.
Argiduna crafts atmospheric black metal from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region since 2016, drawing from the vast landscapes of southwestern France. Their Basque-inflected name adds cultural depth to their expansive, tremolo-driven soundscapes.
Argile merges avant-garde experimentation with death and doom metal from Angers since 2020, their French name meaning "clay" reflecting malleable compositions that constantly shift shape. Their genre-defying approach creates a sound as moldable as their namesake material.
Argishrot blends black metal with metalcore from Saint Petersburg since 2019. Their genre-bridging approach connects black metal's atmospheric hostility with metalcore's rhythmic breakdowns from Russia's second city.
Los Angeles black metal project with seven releases since 2016. Named after the towering statues guarding the river Anduin in Tolkien's Middle-earth, their albums Dark Stories of the Sidhe and Journey to the Otherworld draw from Celtic mythology as much as Norse, building an extensive catalog of folk-inflected atmospheric black metal.
Tacoma/Seattle stoner metal project with nine releases since 2007. Their albums — from the space-rock tinged AUTOHYME I HEADSPACE to CHASING ZEBULON — trace nearly two decades of Pacific Northwest fuzz exploration, building one of the region's most substantial stoner catalogs.
Eustis, Florida black metal project whose 2020 single Oceánica channels maritime vastness through atmospheric extremity. Named after the epic poem about Jason's voyage, bringing mythological seafaring to landlocked Central Florida.
