Atrymo is a death and black metal band from João Pessoa, Paraíba, formed in 2017 by members with roots in prior extreme metal projects. The four-piece — featuring Aracélio on drums and vocals, Ivan on bass and vocals, Ivaldo and Bruno on guitars — channels themes of human hatred, greed, and spiritual corruption through tracks like "Sentidos Infames," "Miséria e Ódio," and "Depressão," with lyrics sung in Portuguese.
Binghamton, New York progressive metal act from the Southern Tier, bringing technical ambition and compositional complexity to upstate New York's underground.
Atrystos delivers death and thrash metal from the Picard city of Amiens since 2019, channeling the Somme valley's historic intensity into modern extreme metal. Their Greek-derived name, suggesting something unworn or indestructible, suits their enduring approach.
Atsphear creates melodic death metal from Madrid since 2005, two decades of activity from Spain's capital. Their atmospheric portmanteau name guides a sound that pairs aggression with the expansive qualities their name suggests.
St. Helens' Attache revive the spirit of NWOBHM with twin guitar harmonies, galloping rhythms, and soaring vocal melodies that honour the movement's golden era. Since 2016, they've carried the torch for classic British heavy metal with authenticity and passion.
Washington, D.C. black metal/grindcore hybrid whose confrontational name matches their blistering blend of blast beats and political fury from the nation's capital.
Columbus, Ohio's Attack Attack! became the lightning rod of the electronicore movement in the late 2000s, polarizing listeners with their fusion of Auto-Tuned cleans, synth breakdowns, and metalcore heaviness on their debut 'Someday Came Suddenly.' Their crabcore stance became an internet meme, but the band's influence on the intersection of electronic music and metalcore is undeniable.
Attack Fire is a thrash metal band from Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, founded in 2010 and signed to Tanatofobia Productions. The band built a prolific catalog through the 2010s and into the 2020s, releasing splits and EPs including "Satanic Riffs" (2013) and "Habemus Tenebris Papam" (2014), and appearing on the 2013 Ultrametal Productions compilation "30 Years Of War, Fight, Sweat & Blood." Vocalist and bassist Kristhian Spinal has been a constant presence since the band's founding.
