Chicago black metal project with four releases since 2014. From raw early demos to the more polished Abhorrent Reflections EP, they trace a decade of evolution within the Windy City's deep black metal underground.
Arida Vortex has delivered power metal from Moscow since 2014. Their Latin name meaning 'arid vortex' drives over a decade of energetic compositions from the Russian capital's established power metal community.
Ariday brings heavy metal to Zaragoza's vibrant live circuit, having built a loyal following in Aragón since 2008. Their nearly two-decade persistence reflects the staying power of traditional metal in Spain's fifth-largest city.
Arides channels atmospheric black metal from Chalon-sur-Saône in Burgundy since 2019, their dry, parched name contrasting with the flowing sonic landscapes they create. The project draws from the Saône valley's misty vineyards and ancient heritage.
Aridnyk practices pagan black metal from Drohobych in the Lviv Region since 2014. From this Galician town famous for its salt works and as the setting of Bruno Schulz's literary works, they channel pre-Christian Ukrainian traditions.
Aridonia formed in San Salvador de Jujuy in Argentina's extreme northwest, with a lineup of Fernando Echenique on guitar and vocals, Benjamin Yecora on guitar, Tomas Longombardo on bass, and Matias Paiva on drums. The band released their debut EP, "EP1", in 2017, followed by their self-titled full-length in 2020, a seven-track record praised for bridging stoner metal, doom, and progressive rock influences. Comparisons to Tool, Kyuss, and Baroness have been noted by reviewers, reflecting the band's blend of heavy riffing and atmospheric song structures.
Santa Fe black metal act whose arid, desolate sound mirrors the stark beauty of New Mexico's high desert landscape, channeling isolation into atmospheric extremity.
Ariel plays heavy metal from Lessebo in Småland since 1975, making them one of Sweden's longest-running heavy metal acts with over five decades of history. From this glassworks village in the Kingdom of Crystal, they have maintained an extraordinary commitment to heavy metal across half a century.
