Abyssal Frost is a blackened death metal band split between Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina. From their 2020 EP "Antarsia" to their 2024 full-length "The Pyre Aflame," the band has honed a sound that merges black metal's atmospheric menace with death metal's crushing physicality.
Abyssal Necrophony channels black metal from an undisclosed Slovak location since 2023. Their death-music-from-the-deep name drives compositions of cavernous, sepulchral darkness.
Abyssal Pain is a depressive black metal and ambient project from Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, exploring themes of negativity, pessimism, and emotional dissolution. The project has released a substantial run of albums — including "Der Nagel im Sarg," "Frio Esterilizante," "Desvanecer," and "Catarse" — and contributed to the DSBM Brazil Vol. II compilation, situating itself firmly within the Brazilian DSBM underground.
Abyssal Rites is a black metal band from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their 2019 full-length "Synesthesia Ritual" and 2020 follow-up EP "The Final Advance" deliver occult-tinged black metal from the heart of the Great Plains.
Abyssal Worm is a German bestial war metal project whose 2023 debut Kingdom of Decadence packs seven tracks of anti-cosmic brutality into under thirteen minutes. Fans of Blasphemy and Conqueror will find kindred savagery here — the album's cavernous production and relentless blasting have been praised as 'utterly and unrelentingly anti-anthropic death metal.'
Abyssalborne is a raw black metal project shrouded in anonymity. Their 2023 EP "A God's Gambit" offers five tracks of lo-fi, uncompromising black metal stripped to its most essential elements.
Abyssalis is a technical death metal and deathcore band from Atlanta, Georgia. Their 2025 debut full-length "Adaptation" delivers eleven tracks of precisely executed brutality, blending technical death metal complexity with deathcore's crushing breakdowns.
Abyssall was a one-man melodic death metal project from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, conceived and executed entirely by multi-instrumentalist Bruno Eduardo. Their 2022 debut EP "Victory Can Wait Forever" delivered five tracks wrestling with themes of technology, mass control, and guarded optimism, blending melodic death metal structure with introspective lyrical content before the project ceased activity.
Abyssals delivers death metal from the Ain department city of Bourg-en-Bresse since 2016, bringing extreme brutality to the Rhône-Alpes region. Their oceanic-depth name suits the submerged heaviness of their sound.
