Adaga — Portuguese for "dagger" — is a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, built around the duo of Anderson Ribeiro and Fabrizzio Hanoi. Their 2019 EP "Spawning Black Seeds" channels themes of darkness, occultism, and chaos through a stripped-down, underground black metal attack.
Founded by guitarist Stéphan Forté, a graduate of the CMCN Music Academy, Adagio brought technical precision and dark orchestration to French symphonic progressive metal from Montpellier. Across albums like "Sanctus Ignis," "Underworld," and "Dominate," they established themselves as one of France's most technically accomplished metal acts before entering indefinite hiatus in 2018.
Adagio is an atmospheric death/doom metal band from Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil, active from the mid-1990s through the early 2010s before going on hold. Their 1999 album "Romantic Serenades", released on Megahard Records, epitomizes their mournful, melancholic approach that blends death metal heaviness with slow, grief-laden doom atmospheres.
Adaia is a power metal band from Cartago, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, formed in 2011 by guitarist Jorge Soto, vocalist Cristian Badillo, and drummer Jaime Guzmán. The band crafts melodic heavy metal centered on themes of freedom, hope, death, and love, drawing on the classic power metal influences the members grew up with. They operate as an independent act and released early material including the 2013 single "Muerto en Vida."

Adalwolf is a black metal project from Oranienburg, Germany, whose 2019 album Christenfeind features nine tracks of old-school black metal driven by furious drumming and melodic riffing, including re-recorded demo material originally from 2005. The project's anti-religious themes and German-language lyrics place it firmly in the tradition of misanthropic European black metal.
