Adversary Enfleshed is a slam and brutal death metal band from Lake Station, Indiana. Their 2024 EP "PUNCTURED" delivers six tracks of guttural, slamming brutality — the kind of low-tuned violence that defines the most extreme end of death metal.

Adversum are a satanic black metal band from Northeim, Germany, whose 2016 album In the Sign of Satan delivers six tracks of uncompromising darkness recommended alongside acts like Misþyrming and LVTHN. Their self-described mission of 'Satanic Black Metal from Germany' leaves no ambiguity about the project's devotional extremity.
A black metal band from Limburg, Belgium, formed in 2013 with lyrical themes centered on darkness, death, and orthodox Satanism. They self-released the limited cassette EP Principium Ascensionis in 2014 through Cúchulainn in an edition of fifty copies, and have remained an underground independent act.
Adversvm are a death-doom and funeral doom metal band from Norden in northern Germany, whose releases Dysangelion and Vama Marga explore the heaviest and slowest reaches of extreme metal.
