Nashville hardcore punk/thrash crossover act that became a significant name in the Southern underground, blending crusty punk ferocity with thrash metal intensity from Music City.
Assedio crafts power and heavy metal from Turin since 2019, their Italian name meaning 'siege' evoking the patient, relentless approach of military encirclement. Their Piedmontese compositions carry the weight and determination of a sustained assault.
Assedium delivers epic heavy metal from Milan since 2019, sharing the siege-warfare theme with their Turin neighbors Assedio but pursuing a more grandiose, epic approach. Their Lombard vision of heavy metal favors sweeping narratives and triumphant melodies.
Assemble the Chariots merges death metal, deathcore, and symphonic elements from the Helsinki/Espoo area since 2009, creating an unusually broad sonic palette within the extreme metal spectrum. Their biblical-warfare name suits compositions that combine orchestral grandeur with crushing heaviness.
Assembler is a progressive power and groove metal band from Maipú, Chile, formed in 2014 under the name Jala el Gatillo before adopting their current name. In 2021 they released their debut album Serendipia, an eight-song record blending melodic metal with theatrical elements, recorded and mixed at Estudios Arrebol by Felipe Cuevas.
New Haven, Connecticut NWOTHM project whose 2013 Summer Demo captures classic heavy metal aesthetics from the Elm City. The evocative name paints a picture of twilight gatherings and ancient rites.
Assent merges groove and progressive metal from Paris since 2017, their affirmative name contrasting with the heavy complexity of their sound. Their rhythmically driven approach combines cerebral composition with visceral impact.

Assfault merges thrash and groove metal from Stockholm since 2010. Their deliberately crude portmanteau of asphalt and a body part drives fifteen years of road-ready aggression from the Swedish capital.
