Asura is a slam and deathcore band from Sofia, Bulgaria, blending brutal death metal weight with deathcore breakdowns. The band features members Georgi Kapashikov, Nikolay Petrov, Vladimir Kichkov, and Mope and has released material through their Bandcamp page as an independent act.
Seattle/Long Beach doom and drone metal project. The minimalist name matches their approach — glacially paced, frequency-obsessed heaviness that operates at the outer reaches of metal's slowest subgenre.
Asvynn is a pagan, black, and death metal band from Bad Grund in the Harz Mountains of Germany, formed in 2018, channeling the forested, mythological landscape of their mountain homeland through extreme metal. The band's fusion of pagan themes with black and death metal aggression draws natural inspiration from one of Germany's most historically mystical regions.
Asyle delivers black metal from the Mayenne capital of Laval since 2018, their French word for "asylum" evoking the confined madness at the heart of their compositions. The project channels the rural isolation of western France's interior.
Detroit metalcore project whose 2020 EP Eulogy of Man delivers apocalyptic breakdowns from the Motor City. The portmanteau name — asylum plus silence — captures the quiet madness at the core of their sound.
Hampton Roads, Virginia melodic death metal project with seven releases since 2019. A prolific output from the Tidewater region, their catalog spans singles, EPs, and compilation packs that demonstrate relentless creative energy.
Asylum was a doom/black metal band from Araguari, Minas Gerais, formed in 2014 and later split-up. Situated in the Triângulo Mineiro region of Minas Gerais — a state with deep roots in Brazilian extreme metal going back to Sepultura and Sarcófago — the band melded the slow, crushing weight of doom metal with the atmospheric coldness of black metal.
Asylum 8 delivers groove metal from the eastern Finnish city of Kuopio since 2016, bringing rhythmic heaviness to the Savonia region. Their institutional name suggests a contained madness that fuels their groove-driven assault.
Asylum Creation delivers brutal death metal from the small Ain village of Culoz since 2012, proving that devastating extremity can emerge from France's most pastoral settings. Over a decade of brutality from the Rhône corridor speaks to sustained commitment.
