Avet merges black and death metal from Ruma in Srem since 2010. Their Serbian name meaning 'ghost' or 'phantom' drives over fifteen years of spectral extremity from this Vojvodina town.
Aveth has evolved from black metal into a black, folk, and doom metal hybrid from Kungur in the Perm Region since 2018. From this small Ural town famous for its ice caves, they channel subterranean darkness through multiple genre lenses.
Avezuha practices black metal from Bucharest since 2017. Their enigmatic name adds mystique to their Romanian capital-born black metal, maintaining the deliberate obscurity the genre prizes.
Avgmentor is a self-described 'retrofuturistic metal' band from Nuremberg, Germany, formed in 2021, whose releases include the self-titled album, Infinite Skies, and tracks like Hyperdrive and New Horizons. The band's retrofuturistic concept merges science fiction aesthetics with progressive metal musicianship.
Avgrund channels black metal from Sundsvall since 2023. Their Swedish name meaning 'abyss' drives compositions from this northern Medelpad coastal city.
Avgrunden creates drone, doom metal, and ambient from an undisclosed Swedish location since 2011. Their definite-form Swedish name — 'the abyss' — drives fifteen years of glacial, bottomless heaviness.
Avian is a heavy metal band from the Ostrach and Burgweiler area of Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, formed in 2011, delivering traditional heavy metal from the rural landscape of Upper Swabia. The band carries the genre's riff-driven traditions from one of southern Germany's quieter corners.
Swedish metalcore act Aviana formed in Gothenburg in 2016, channeling the city's legendary metal heritage through a modern, aggressive lens. After multiple lineup overhauls left vocalist Joel Holmqvist as the sole remaining member, he rebuilt the project with masked musicians and released the industrial-tinged 'Corporation' in 2022. Their evolution from straightforward metalcore into darker, more theatrical territory has given them a distinctive identity in the crowded Scandinavian metal landscape.
Andover's Aviatörr channel the spirit of classic speed metal with umlaut-adorned abandon, delivering ripping guitar solos and breakneck tempos that pay homage to the genre's 1980s heyday. Since 2020, they've brought infectious energy and old-school metal worship to the UK underground.
