Asperity explores progressive heavy metal from Sala in Västmanland since 2024. Their roughness-named project brings textural complexity to progressive compositions from this historic Swedish silver-mining town.
Asphagor are a black metal band from the Tyrol region of Austria with over a decade of releases, including Havoc (2010), Anti (2013), The Cleansing (2018), and Pyrogenesis (2023), all leading toward the forthcoming The Aphotic Vortex via Immortal Frost Productions. Their sound is rooted in ferocious, relentless second-wave black metal with a Tyrolean contempt for compromise, characterised by incendiary tempos and an anti-human thematic core.
Cleveland crossover thrash and sludge outfit arriving in 2025 with three releases including the wildly titled Balkan Night Fever. The incorporation of Romica Puceanu — a legendary Romanian singer — into their sound suggests a genuinely original fusion of Eastern European music and American sludge.
Richmond, Virginia grindcore outfit tearing through the capital city's vibrant punk and metal crossover scene with blistering blasts and socially charged fury.
Asphalt Grieving is a black/death metal act from Santiago, Chile, who debuted in January 2024 with the EP "Lack of Certainty," released by Black Legion Records as a limited clear CD edition of 300 copies worldwide. Later in 2024 they released a second EP, "Transgression of the Quantum Self: Tertiary Magnitude," featuring session drums by Krzysztof Klingbein and three tracks totaling approximately 24 minutes.
Greek heavy metal act Asphalt Lips deliver road-worn, riff-driven metal with a blue-collar attitude. Since 2021, they've crafted a straightforward sound built on classic heavy metal foundations.
Asphaltator thrashes from Rome since 2016, their name suggesting a machine that paves roads — and eardrums — with relentless mechanical force. From the Italian capital, they deliver crushing thrash with the efficiency of heavy construction equipment.
Portland stoner metal project whose 2025-2026 releases blend heavy grooves with electronic remix culture. Named after the flowers of the Greek underworld, their New Paradigm album suggests a forward-looking approach to fuzz worship.
Asphodelos is a death and thrash metal band from Jena in Thuringia, Germany, formed in 2010, whose releases include And Death Shall Reign, To the Grounds of Everwhite, and The Five Rivers of Erebos. The band's album titles draw heavily on Greek underworld mythology, with Asphodelos itself referencing the fields of the afterlife where ordinary souls dwell in Greek tradition.
