Athiria are a Linz death metal band formed in 2011 who debuted with Capital Punishment (2014) and broke into the underground with Vicious Circle (2015), earning support slots with Cannibal Corpse and Suicide Silence. After a period of inactivity they returned with Conjure The Beast (2023) and the Bash of the Beast EP (2025), refining a ferocious modern death metal sound built on precise, punishing riffwork.
Athkan is a groove and thrash metal band from Salta, Argentina, formed in 2013 by guitarist Gustavo Díaz and bassist Sergio Ruiz. Drawing on the post-thrash heaviness of Pantera and Meshuggah, the band released two records in 2013 — the album Walking Through Fear and the compilation Simbiosis — with vocalist Mauro Espínola and drummer Eduardo Fernández rounding out the lineup.
Athlantis delivers power metal from Genoa since 2017, their mythological-island name evoking the lost civilization's grandeur. From the Ligurian port city, they forge anthemic compositions that reach for the epic scale their namesake demands.
Athon channels sludge metal from Varese in northwestern Lombardy since 2017. Their monolithic name matches the dense, slow-moving heaviness they craft in the shadow of the Pre-Alps.
Athorial delivers melodic death metal from Kemi since 2019, contributing to the Lapland gateway city's growing reputation for extreme music. Their sound draws from the same icy well that feeds all of northern Finland's death metal tradition.
Kalamata's Athos take their name from the sacred Greek mountain and monastic republic, channelling spiritual austerity through black metal of contemplative intensity. Since 2022, the project has brought a meditative quality to extreme metal.
Athrazina merges death and thrash metal from Milan since 2022, named after the controversial herbicide atrazine. Their chemical-weapon identity drives an approach that contaminates listeners with high-toxicity extreme metal.
Athrepsy delivers melodic death metal from the Lyonnais suburb of Meyzieu since 2023, their medical term for severe malnutrition adding clinical gravity to their sound. Their approach brings Finnish-inspired melodeath to the Rhône-Alpes region.
