Autumn Aurora merges progressive death and black metal from Murmansk since 2016. From Russia's largest Arctic city, their seasonal-light name channels the brief, brilliant colors of polar autumn into compositions of technical extremity.
Autumn Crows crafts melodic death metal from an undisclosed Swedish location since 2018. Their seasonal-corvid name drives compositions of dark melodic beauty informed by the character of Nordic autumn.
Autumn Dream evokes the fading warmth of Seville's seasons through gothic and symphonic metal launched in 2024. The project's atmospheric approach contrasts southern Spain's scorching reality with the melancholic beauty their name implies.
Autumn Equinox creates progressive metal from Hoorn in North Holland since 2022. Named after the September moment when day and night achieve perfect balance, their compositions seek similar equilibrium between heaviness and melody.
Mansfield, Ohio death metal project. The oxymoronic name — autumn implies change, eternal implies permanence — captures the tension at the heart of their heavy music.
Lima, Ohio black metal band channeling the rural Midwest's bleak, windswept emptiness into atmospheric darkness from small-town Northwest Ohio.
New York black metal project wrapping melancholic themes in tremolo-picked atmospherics, contributing to the state's vast and varied extreme metal landscape.
Autumn Kings formed in the Windsor-area town of LaSalle, Ontario in 2015 and developed a polished, high-impact rock sound shaped by hard rock, pop hooks, rap cadences, and modern production. The band's early independent years produced Silver Screens and a steady run of singles that emphasized big choruses, motivational lyrics, and sharp rhythmic drive. Songs such as "Electrified," "POWER," and "Echo" helped define their style: glossy but guitar-forward, built for radio, workouts, and arena-sized crowd response. Book of the Broken deepened the band's focus on resilience, anxiety, ambition, and self-belief, turning personal struggle into anthemic rock songwriting. After years of self-releasing and touring, Autumn Kings signed with Hopeless Records, marking a broader push into the international modern rock circuit. Their newer work keeps the same core ingredients: blazing guitars, clean melodic hooks, occasional screams, and a confident mix of pop accessibility with hard-rock force.
Autumn Laments is a one-man melancholic and atmospheric black metal project from Lower Saxony, Germany, formed in 2019, whose releases include Elegies and the 2023 album Gone. The project delivers atmospheric black metal steeped in melancholy from the solitary creative vision of its sole member.
