Savage Death Metal out of Texas.
Ayenna plays power metal from an undisclosed Swedish location since 2017. Their ethereal-sounding name drives compositions of anthemic melody and heroic ambition.
Aygan is a progressive metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed around 2001 and active into the 2010s. Their sound blends heavy riffing, groove, and progressive rock complexity, landing somewhere between melodic hard rock and progressive metal. The band released the full-length album "Plastic City" in 2010 — recorded at Mr. Som Studios in São Paulo and premiered live at the Fúria Festival on a bill that included Sepultura and André Matos.
Aygghon delivers heavy metal and thrash metal from the Gascon town of Auch starting in 2026, representing the absolute newest wave of metal from France's rural southwest. Their arrival brings fresh energy to the Gers department's nascent metal scene.
Ayin was a technical death metal band from Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The project was conceived by guitarist/vocalist Abner Ramires in 2003 and realized as a full band in 2010 with the addition of bassist Tiago Romeo and drummer Leonardo Treuherz. Ayin wove themes of chaos, conspiracy, and Thelema through dense, technically demanding compositions, releasing the album "Ordo ab Chao" on Brutal Records before eventually disbanding.
Ayn creates melodic death metal from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on Sakhalin Island since 2017. Named after the Hebrew letter, they bring melodic sophistication to extreme metal from Russia's most easterly island outpost.
Aynsophar has practiced death metal from Debrecen since 2010, taking their name from the Kabbalistic concept of the infinite divine light. This mystical underpinning informs a death metal approach that reaches beyond pure brutality into more contemplative extremity.
Ayperos was a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active from 1994 to around 2021. The band took its name from the demonological Prince of Hell said to command thirty-six legions of demons, and their lyrical themes orbited occultism, Satanism, and Luciferian philosophy. They remained an underground independent act throughout their career, releasing material that adhered to classic second-wave black metal aesthetics.
Aypheros is a black metal band from Santiago, Chile, founded by guitarist and vocalist Jorge Pilquian (performing as Haizum), with current members including guitarist Ulthar, guitarist Rhaeadr, bassist H.S., and drummer Kerberos. The band has released three full-lengths — Ascendet Novissima Tua (2014), TziTzaudel (2018), and Impetu Spiritus (2023) on Umbrium Records — alongside the 2019 EP Oboth Iddeonim.
