Patras' Atrophic deliver muscular power metal infused with heavy metal grit, crafting anthemic songs built on driving rhythms and powerful vocals. Since 2009, they've been a reliable force in the Peloponnesian metal scene.
Seattle death metal project whose releases — including the poetically titled Fuselage Aligned With the Stars — blend aviation imagery with musical decomposition since 2020. Death metal as controlled crash landing.

Newark, New Jersey thrash metal act whose 2018 debut The Void Engineers explores the construction of emptiness through aggressive, technically precise thrash. Engineering nothingness from the Brick City.
Atropina is a death metal band from Teutônia, Rio Grande do Sul, founded in 1996 and one of the more enduring names in the gaúcho extreme metal underground. Starting with a thrash/hardcore edge on their 1998 demo "Louvar a Tudo por Nada" and the 2001 debut "Santos de Porcelana," the band evolved toward brutal death metal, later releasing conceptual albums including "Mallevs Maleficarvm" (2014) — which addressed the Inquisition — and "Prego em Carne Podre" (2021), with Portuguese-language lyrics consistently attacking organized religion and authoritarian structures.
Atropine creates death metal from Rzeszów since 2008, named after the alkaloid extracted from deadly nightshade. Over nearly two decades from the Subcarpathian capital, they have administered their particular brand of pharmaceutical brutality.
Greensboro, North Carolina death metal project named after the Greek Fate who cuts the thread of life. Three releases since 2013 including the colorfully titled Moroscapades demonstrate a band with both classical knowledge and a sense of humor.
Atroposy was a progressive death metal band from Plovdiv, Bulgaria, active from 2019 to 2022. They released at least two tracks — "...And Thou was The Usurper" and "Bitter Joy" — through their Bandcamp page before splitting up.
Atrorium is a symphonic metal band from Teresina, Piauí, formed in 2018, representing an outlier in Brazil's northeast metal scene by pairing orchestral arrangements with heavy guitar work. The lineup features vocalist Camila Morais, keyboardist Cassio Carvalho, and guitarist Flavio Anderson, and the band operates independently in a region with relatively limited metal infrastructure.
