Tampa death metal band carrying the torch of Florida's legendary death metal legacy, emerging from the same city that birthed Morbid Angel, Obituary, and Deicide.
Aspaarn is a one-man raw black metal project from Lausanne, Switzerland, whose music shifts between ice-cold aggression and melancholic atmospheric passages rooted in nature and primordial history. The project's extensive catalog — including "Oblations in Atrocity," "When Iron Meant Survival," "Ancestral Genocides," and the EPs "Cataclysmic Eminences" and "Mørk Virvelvind" — stands among the more prolific efforts in the Swiss raw black metal underground.
A heavy metal band from Kostelec nad Orlicí in the Hradec Králové Region, Aspect operate within the Czech traditional metal underground. Their Bandcamp URL resolves to an unrelated electronic/ambient project, and specific release information for this Czech act was not verifiable through available sources.
Aspen has crafted stoner and doom metal from Barcelos in the Minho region since 1995, making them one of Portugal's oldest stoner doom acts. Three decades from this northern Portuguese town famous for its folk pottery rooster have produced a substantial body of hazy, riff-heavy work.
Asper is a heavy metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, active since 2018 in one of Brazil's most established regional metal scenes. Porto Alegre has long been a hub for traditional and extreme metal in southern Brazil, and Asper operates within that tradition as an independent act.
Asperatus delivers technical death metal from Kraków since 2015. Named after the rare, turbulent cloud formation, their sound channels atmospheric turbulence through surgical-precision brutality from Poland's cultural capital.
Cornwall, New York death metal project named after the fungal lung infection, with five releases since 2025. The medically themed extremity — including the sports-gore hybrid Lesotho VS South Africa Goreball — signals a uniquely bizarre approach to the genre.
Aspergillus Flavus has crafted death, doom, and gothic metal from Gdańsk since 1997, nearly three decades under a name borrowed from the toxic mold that produces aflatoxin. Their mycological identity drives compositions of slow-spreading, persistent toxicity from the Baltic coast.
Brighton's Asperitas deliver a crushing blend of death metal, deathcore, and groove metal, shifting between technical precision and brutalising breakdowns. Since 2012, they've honed a sound that balances the cerebral with the visceral, making them a standout in the UK's extreme metal underground.
