Pittsburgh progressive metal project with twelve releases since 2018. Named after the Norse realm of gods, their eclectic catalog — including the tongue-in-cheek Bruce Li / Supreme Ninja split — blends prog ambition with b-movie fun from the Steel City.
Asgardians is a heavy metal band from Denmark, formed in 2015, whose Norse-mythological name channels the warrior spirit of the gods into traditional heavy metal. The band carries forward the Scandinavian heavy metal tradition with their riff-driven approach.
Asgaroth conjures the intersection of black metal's blast-beat fury and doom metal's glacial weight from Barcelona since 2011. Named for a demon prince, their sound explores the vast spectrum between extremes of speed and slowness.
Asgarth has played power metal from Donostia-San Sebastián in the Basque Country since 1999, a quarter-century of activity from this culinary and cultural jewel on the Bay of Biscay. Their Norse-mythological name belies deep Basque roots and a long dedication to European power metal.
Asghath channels black metal from Pesaro on the Adriatic coast of the Marche since 2015. From this city where Rossini was born, they practice an art far removed from opera — raw, hostile, and uncompromising.
Asgâya channels heavy metal from Castellón de la Plana with a dedication to classic metal values since 2015. Their Tolkien-inflected name hints at epic aspirations within a traditional heavy metal framework.
Asgëir has been delivering heavy metal from Madrid since 2012, named with Norse-inspired flair that reflects the band's connection to metal's Viking-age mythology. Their output contributes to the capital's broad and deep traditional metal community.
Black metal project of undisclosed origin with ten releases since 2014. Albums like Dance And Kill and Fear build a substantial catalog of raw black metal with no geographic anchor — pure anonymity in service of the sound.
Ash and Coal creates gothic metal from an undisclosed Swedish location since 2013. Their combustion-remnant name drives over a decade of darkly atmospheric compositions built from the remains of fire.
