Daytona Beach thrash band from Florida's racing capital, delivering speed metal at full throttle with the same reckless intensity as the Daytona 500.
Atomic Fault delivers death and thrash metal from Belgrade since 2023. Their seismic-nuclear name drives compositions of tectonic aggression from the Serbian capital, built on geological fault lines of its own.
Atomic Fear was a death metal band from Timóteo, Minas Gerais, with roots tracing back to 2007 before the band reconstituted in the early 2010s. The group released the EP "Globaritarian" in 2013 and earned a foothold in the regional underground scene with politically charged lyrics delivered over aggressive death metal, performing at festivals including Grito do Rock in their home city before eventually splitting up.
London's Atomic Fog generate a dense cloud of doom, sludge, and stoner metal, layering fuzz-soaked riffs over lumbering rhythms that evoke a radioactive wasteland. Since 2018, they've been crafting apocalyptic heaviness with a nod to Electric Wizard and Eyehategod.
Atomic Front is a black and death metal band from Aachen, Germany, formed in 2025, representing one of the newest extreme metal acts in the westernmost German city. The band fuses black and death metal's combined ferocity at the intersection of German, Belgian, and Dutch metal cultures.
Painesville, Ohio thrash metal act whose 2017 EP Wrath of Militaristic Barbarism delivers exactly the kind of war-obsessed thrash fury the title demands from the Lake Erie shore.
Atomic Head was a speed metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2004 by guitarist and vocalist SEbG with a focus on Bay Area thrash influences. The band released a self-titled five-track EP in 2006 and their only full-length album, March of the Urban Zombies, in 2014 before disbanding.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania doom band merging cosmic horror with crushing heaviness from the heart of Amish Country, an inspired juxtaposition of pastoral setting and Lovecraftian dread.
Atomic Mold creates psychedelic stoner metal and rock from Verona since 2015. Their nuclear-fungal name captures the mutant quality of their sound — a lysergic, heavily distorted fusion born in the city of the Arena.
