Chicago crossover thrash act blending hardcore punk velocity with metal riffing, adding to the Windy City's diverse and productive heavy music scene.
Fullerton, California NWOTHM band from Orange County, delivering classic heavy metal revival from the same suburban sprawl that spawned iconic punk and metal acts.
Augmented Existence creates atmospheric black metal from an undisclosed Finnish location since 2018. Their enhancement-focused name suggests black metal that transcends its basic form, reaching for expanded emotional and sonic territories.
Augmented Fury merges black and death metal from Tromsø, Norway's Arctic city above the 69th parallel, since 2023. Their enhanced-rage name drives extreme metal forged in the polar darkness and midnight sun of the far north.
Augrimmer is a black metal band from Gunzburg in Swabia, Germany, active since 2009, whose discography spanning Autumnal Heavens, From the Lone Winters Cold, Nothing Ever Was, Moth and the Moon, and beyond is characterized by primitive old-school yet atmospheric black metal with rich melodies. Their releases appear in limited physical editions, including hand-numbered vinyl pressings of two hundred fifty copies.
Augspiem are a death metal/grindcore band from Salzburg whose album My Life is a Big Puke signals their commitment to unvarnished extremity and the sardonic, confrontational humour of the grind tradition. Their music is fast, aggressive, and deliberately unglamorous, situting itself within the European grindcore underground that runs from Terrorizer worship to power-violence aesthetics.
Denver black metal project whose 2017 EP Shadows of the Black Cross channels prophetic doom through atmospheric extremity. The name — meaning one who divines the future — fits their ominous sound.
Augure Funèbre channels black metal from the southern Cévennes town of Alès since 2012, their French name meaning "funeral omen" setting the tone for over a decade of dark, foreboding compositions. Their Gard department origins connect them to Languedoc's extreme metal underground.
Augurman is a Finnish black metal project emerging in 2026, representing the absolute newest generation of the country's extreme metal artists. Their prophetic name, evoking ancient Roman fortune-tellers, suggests a project looking both backward and forward simultaneously.
