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.
Brutal Slam / Brutal Death Metal out of Texas.
New York grindcore act living up to their name with blunt-force sonic punishment, contributing to the city's long tradition of extreme, boundary-pushing heavy music.
Assiette grinds from Montpellier since 2024, their French word for "plate" adding absurdist humor to their grindcore assault. The project embodies the genre's tradition of combining extreme music with provocative silliness.
Assigned Fate delivers death metal and groove metal from the Jura mountain town of Pontarlier since 2018, their predestination-themed name reflecting the inevitability of their crushing sound. Their remote origins near the Swiss border lend genuine isolation to their extreme metal.
