New York City heavy metal project with seven releases since 2015. Their eclectic catalog — spanning an Afghanistan EP and INDUSTRIAL LANGUAGE — pushes NWOTHM boundaries with geopolitical and linguistic themes from the world's cultural capital.
Attila Heller creates symphonic and heavy metal from Belgrade since 2023. Named for a Hungarian historical figure, they bring Central European grandeur to orchestrally enhanced metal from the Serbian capital.
Attis plays heavy metal from Reșița in the Caraș-Severin mountains since 2016. Named after the Phrygian vegetation deity, they bring ancient Anatolian mythology to classic metal from this steel-industry town in the western Carpathians.
Oakland, California crossover thrash act whose 2021 EP Pause & Effect delivers punchy, politically charged punk-metal from the East Bay birthplace of American hardcore.
Koprivnica's Attitudes to Human Extinction deliver death metal that confronts existential threats with unflinching brutality. Since 2019, they've channelled apocalyptic anxiety into crushing compositions from the Podravina region.
Attma is a death and groove metal band from Parnaíba, Piauí, active since 2020 and part of a small but growing extreme metal community in Brazil's northern coast. They blend the rhythmic heaviness of groove metal with death metal extremity, operating independently in a state better known for Teresina's scene than for coastal metal activity.
Attomic Soldier is a thrash metal band from São Paulo, Brazil formed in 2017, carrying forward the city's tradition of aggressive, crossover-flavored thrash. Their 2017 debut album "In Mental Prison" is a nine-track assault covering themes of war, insanity, and darkness, showcasing the raw, high-speed aggression typical of the São Paulo underground scene.
Attralia channels black metal from the small Loire town of Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert since 2012, drawing from the rural landscapes of central France. Over a decade of activity from such a modest community speaks to the universal reach of black metal.
