Ashes of Life creates gothic and doom metal from Lisbon since 2020. Their existential name — what remains after life burns away — drives compositions of darkly romantic heaviness from the Portuguese capital.
Baltimore thrash metal outfit with three releases since 2016. A Scene in Hell and the live recording The Live Art of Murder deliver relentless aggression from Charm City, proving Baltimore's heavy music runs deeper than its doom reputation.
Ashes of Mirra is a progressive metal band from Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2023, featuring vocalist Weslen Amorim, guitarists Fabio and Sebastian Garcia, and bassist Roberto Ribeiro. The band released their early material on Bandcamp, with tracks including "The Pangea Puzzle," "Limit," and "Speechless," pointing toward a sound that favors compositional depth within the progressive metal tradition.
Milwaukee death metal band bringing grinding extremity to Wisconsin's largest city, contributing to the Cream City's expanding heavy music landscape.
Ashes of Moon has crafted melodic death metal from Bruck an der Mur in Styria since 2012. From this small Alpine town at the confluence of the Mur and Mürz rivers, they bring Scandinavian-influenced melodicism to Austria's mountainous interior.
Ashes of My Memory crafts melodic and progressive death metal from Bruneck in the South Tyrolean Dolomites since 2018. From this bilingual German-Italian Alpine town, they create compositions that pair melodic sophistication with the dramatic grandeur of their mountain setting.
Ashes of Nothing crafts death, doom, and post-metal from an undisclosed Slovenian location since 2009. Their nihilistic-remnant name drives nearly two decades of compositions that explore what remains after everything is consumed.
Ashes of Nowhere blends black metal with post-black metal from Udine in Friuli since 2015. Their nihilistic name — remnants of a nonexistent place — captures the existential displacement at the heart of their atmospheric compositions.
Bend, Oregon black metal project with seven releases since 2021. Their catalog — from the bleak Depression - Searching in Despair EP to Ashes and Emptiness — channels the high desert town's isolation into atmospheric, emotionally raw black metal.
