Los Angeles post-metal and progressive project whose 2016 debut Temporal explores the nature of time through atmospheric, boundary-crossing heaviness. Cerebral LA metal.
Dallas melodic death metal project with seven releases since 2021. A New Low and Empty Vessel anchor a prolific catalog that channels Scandinavian melodeath traditions through DFW Metroplex intensity, the name pairing nuclear physics with Durkheimian sociology.
Athens' Atomic Blast combine progressive metal ambition with thrash metal aggression, creating technically accomplished compositions that balance cerebral complexity with visceral impact. Active since 2012, they represent the more adventurous side of Greek thrash.
Atomic Blast is a thrash metal band from Parnaíba, Piauí, formed in 2012 and active in Brazil's northeast underground metal scene. Playing aggressive, riff-forward thrash in the tradition of the Brazilian thrash movement, the band has maintained a presence on regional circuits since their formation.
Orlando, Florida crossover thrash act with seven releases since 2023. The name is a statement of maximum excess, and their prolific output — including a self-titled debut and the surf-rock-referencing Beyond the Sea — delivers exactly the over-the-top chaos it promises.
Atomic Breath are a death/progressive metal band from Innsbruck whose music extends beyond the genre's conventional brutality to incorporate dynamic shifts, complex song structures, and technically ambitious instrumental passages. Their Tyrolean origins place them in a regional scene with strong traditions of craftsmanship, which is reflected in their meticulous approach to heaviness.
Spokane, Washington progressive metal project whose 2019 Supermoon Edition and subsequent instrumental mixes demonstrate a precision-obsessed approach to heavy music. The name fits — every note measured with scientific accuracy.
Atomic Dog plays heavy metal and hard rock from Oulu since 2013. From the northern Finnish city known for its air guitar championships, they channel canine ferocity through classic-leaning metal and rock.
Virginia Beach black metal project with nine releases since 2020, including the memorably titled Bootymania. The wrestling-move name and irreverent titles suggest a band that refuses to take black metal's solemnity at face value.
