Rochester, New York progressive metal project. The chemical-sounding name suggests synthetic complexity from Western New York.
Acronica is a death metal and hardcore band from Murcia, Spain, formed in 2022, fusing death metal's guttural extremity with hardcore's raw, confrontational energy. The band represents the newer wave of extreme metal crossover in southeastern Spain.
Acrópole is a black metal band from Rio Brilhante and Dourados in Mato Grosso do Sul, active since 2020. Based deep in Brazil's interior rather than in the traditional urban metal centers, the band operates in the raw, atmospheric tradition of Brazilian black metal, contributing to what is a notably sparse but growing extreme metal presence in the Mato Grosso do Sul state.
Acsa is a heavy metal band from Cipolletti, in the Patagonian province of Río Negro, Argentina, formed under their current name around 2014 after originating as Pucara in 2009. The band's lineup of Javier Burgos on vocals, David Ariel Rodríguez on guitar, Damián Zeballos on bass, and Alejandro Rodríguez on drums recorded their debut album "Sangriento Final" at Horus Estudio in Cipolletti in 2021. Their sound draws from the classic Argentine heavy metal tradition while aiming for a heavier, more original direction.
Act has delivered melodic death metal from İzmir since 1994, over three decades of activity making them one of Turkey's longest-running melodic death metal acts. Their concise name carries the weight of pioneering extreme metal in the Aegean coast city.
Act III crafts gothic metal from Trelleborg in Skåne since 2023. Their theatrical name — the climactic act of a play — drives compositions of dark dramatic intensity from this southern Swedish port city.
Ronkonkoma, Long Island thrash metal project. The legal/military term repurposed for suburban aggression.
Act of Creation merges death and thrash metal from Haiger in Hesse since 2002, one of Germany's longer-running extreme metal acts from small-town central Germany. Over two decades, they have built a reputation for technically proficient brutality from the Lahn-Dill-Kreis district.
Act of Defiance is a thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California. Featuring former members of Megadeth, the band delivers precision thrash metal with the technical chops and polish of seasoned professionals across two full-lengths.
