Assumption has crafted doom and death metal from Palermo since 2012, over a decade of crushing heaviness from the Sicilian capital. Their religious name — evoking ascension to heaven — creates an ironic counterpoint to their earthbound, weight-of-the-world sound.
Assur is a one-man grindcore and death metal project from Brasschaat, Antwerp, Belgium, formed in 2004. The project has appeared on the Deathmetal.be sampler series, including the track "Morphogenetic Stomache Medley" on the Face Your Underground 6 compilation via Rotten to the Core Agency.
Assur was an Epic Black Metal band from Manizales, Caldas, Colombia, formed in 2000. The band released the split Dark Reborn of Frozen Souls in 2003 through Mighty Hordes Productions before eventually disbanding, with their work rooted in themes of paganism and evil.
Assyria brings heavy metal to the South Ostrobothnian city of Seinäjoki since 2013, named after the ancient Mesopotamian empire. Their historical inspiration feeds a sound rooted in the timeless traditions of classic heavy metal.
Assàl creates epic heavy metal from Bonate Sopra near Bergamo since 2015. From this small Lombard town beneath the Orobie Alps, they forge epic narratives through traditional heavy metal's heroic vocabulary.
Astagaad creates blackened death metal from Gävle since 2022. Their invented name drives compositions of combined extremity from this northern Swedish port city.
Thessaloniki's Astar have been delivering no-nonsense heavy metal since 2011, building a catalogue of riff-driven songs that honour the genre's timeless traditions. Their straightforward approach reflects a commitment to the fundamentals of heavy metal.
Astaria is a traditional heavy metal band from the greater Porto Alegre area of Rio Grande do Sul, formed in 2019 across the neighboring cities of Cachoeirinha and Porto Alegre. The band draws from the classic heavy metal canon in the vein of bands that shaped the strong gaúcho metal scene, with clean vocals and melody at the forefront of their approach.
