Astarot plays heavy and thrash metal from Rzeszów since 2011. Named after the demon Astaroth, they channel infernal energy through the classic dual format of heavy and thrash metal from the Subcarpathian capital.
Astarot is a one-man black metal project from Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, founded in 2010 and signed to Sun Empire Productions. The project is remarkably prolific, having released dozens of full-lengths, EPs, and splits across its career, exploring themes of nature, nostalgia, melancholy, and astral introspection.
Tampa death metal project named after the Great Duke of Hell. Three releases since 2020 including In Reverence To The Machine God blend occult and technological horror from the birthplace of Florida death metal.
Not to be confused with the legendary 1980s Porto Alegre act of the same name, this Astaroth was a short-lived traditional heavy metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, active briefly around 2020 before splitting up. The city has a storied heavy metal heritage — the original Astaroth released the first heavy metal LP from Rio Grande do Sul in 1986 — and this later outfit carried that name into the modern underground scene.
Astaroth Cult is a one-man melodic and atmospheric black metal project from Minas Gerais, Brazil, the work of solo musician Patryck Leal who handles all instruments, vocals, and lyrics. Formed in 2020 and rooted in the DSBM and raw atmospheric black metal underground, the project released its debut album Return of the Falls in November 2020, blending depressive and Satanic lyrical themes with melodic riffing and cold, harsh production.
Warminster's Astarothica conjure occult black metal steeped in eerie atmospherics and ritualistic intensity. Formed in 2023, the project channels dark mysticism through raw, lo-fi compositions that evoke dread and otherworldly menace.
Asteden channels black metal from Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland since 2018, drawing from the extreme darkness of the polar winter. Their Arctic location infuses their sound with a genuine coldness that many black metal acts can only simulate.
Astel Oscora channels atmospheric black metal from Moscow since 2010. Over fifteen years of activity, their evocative name has guided compositions of dark atmospheric beauty from the Russian capital.
Thessaloniki's Astenia channel exhaustion and depletion (their name is Greek for 'weakness') into furious thrash metal that contradicts their moniker with relentless energy. Active since 2012, they've been a persistent force in the northern Greek thrash scene.
