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.
Athos is a heavy metal band from Fortaleza, Ceará, formed in 2022 and currently active. Part of a thriving underground metal scene in Brazil's northeast, the band plays traditional heavy metal rooted in the classic sounds of the genre.
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.
Athron delivers death metal from Craiova in Oltenia since 2014. Over a decade from this major Wallachian city, they have maintained a straightforward commitment to death metal's core principles.
Athron was a Brazilian death/thrash metal band active in the 2010s before splitting up. Playing in the aggressive tradition of Brazil's extreme metal underground, the band combined the riff-driven attack of thrash with the heavier, darker tonality of death metal.
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho black metal project drawing from Northern Idaho's forested mountain landscape to fuel atmospheric, nature-inspired extremity.
Athus Cerimonae is a Brazilian black metal and dark ambient duo — Anatole (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Angellus (bass, vocals) — whose music explores existential metaphysics and occult writing. Since their 2022 debut "Foedera Naturae," the project has released a series of albums weaving multilingual lyrics in Portuguese, English, and Romanian through atmospheric, ritualistic compositions.
Athvarf crafts funeral doom metal from Bucharest since 2022. Their Old Norse-derived name, suggesting a vanishing or disappearance, drives glacially paced compositions of slow dissolution from the Romanian capital.
