Maryland stoner metal outfit built around thick, fuzzed-out riffs and hypnotic grooves. Their debut EP Magic Elixir channels the low-end worship of Sleep and Electric Wizard through a distinctly East Coast lens.
An Antwerp symphonic metal project formed in 2018 that melds Lovecraftian horror with tongue-in-cheek pirate metal theatrics. Their debut album Necronomiquest (2019) features tracks like "Night of the Pirate Robots from the Dark Beneath," with the project handled largely by a single composer overseeing guitars, bass, vocals, and drum programming.
Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell creates psychedelic hard rock and heavy metal from Hastings since 2012, named after the 17th-century English naval commander whose fleet famously wrecked off the Isles of Scilly. Their historical-naval name matches the swaggering, vintage-flavored heaviness of their seaside sound.
Admirality delivers slam and brutal death metal from Bryansk since 2012. Their naval-command name brings maritime authority to over a decade of crushing brutality from this western Russian city near the Ukrainian and Belarusian borders.
Admit plays heavy metal from Östersund in Jämtland since 2017. From this northern Swedish city on the shores of Lake Storsjön — home of Sweden's own lake monster legend — they deliver classic heavy metal.
Admonish channels melodic black metal from Stockholm since 2018. Their warning-based name drives compositions of reproachful intensity from the Swedish capital.
Thessaloniki's Admonisher deliver commanding power metal with heavy metal muscle, built on galloping rhythms, soaring vocals, and triumphant guitar leads. Since 2015, they've upheld the Greek tradition of epic, classically-influenced heavy metal.
Southeast Texas black metal project from Beaumont specializing in atmospheric, melodically charged darkness. Their earliest material hints at a band reaching for sweeping grandeur within the raw black metal framework.
Adnauseam is an Italian-American death metal and grindcore project that defies genre boundaries with their mathematically precise yet chaotic approach to extreme music. Their album "Nihil Quam Vacuitas Ordinatum Est" is a study in controlled dissonance, layering atonal guitar work over intricate blast patterns in a way that feels simultaneously calculated and unhinged. Their Roadburn 2025 live set captured the visceral intensity of their performance in a festival known for pushing sonic extremes.
