Aedroth fuses black and death metal from the remote Provençal village of Bargemon since 2017, channeling the wild beauty of the Var hinterland into extreme metal. Their sound draws from the isolation of one of southeastern France's most rural communities.
Aedy plays Celtic folk metal from Aosta, the Alpine valley town at the foot of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, since 2013. Their location in Italy's smallest and most mountainous region provides a natural connection to the Celtic heritage they channel through their music.
Aegaeon is an atmospheric deathcore band from Evansville, Indiana. Their 2018 full-length "Age" pushes deathcore into spacious, atmospheric territory across eleven tracks, incorporating ambient elements and progressive dynamics that set them apart from the genre's more formulaic acts.
Aegeon channels black metal from Helsinki since 2014, named for the mythological giant of Greek legend. The project contributes to the Finnish capital's vast black metal underground with compositions that carry the weight of ancient mythology.
Aeger is a black metal project from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, active since 2012, whose German-language releases including KotzeAdel and Fieber reflect philosophical introspection wrapped in extreme metal. The project's name, Latin for 'sick' or 'troubled,' aligns with the existential questioning that permeates its output.
Aegir is a German black metal project active since 2020, named after the Norse god of the sea. Not to be confused with the Icelandic experimental drummer of the same name, this project channels the mythological depths of its namesake into raw black metal.
Aegis channels melodic death metal from Schleswig in Germany's northernmost state since 2016. Their shield-like name protects a core of Scandinavian-influenced melodicism, naturally suited to their proximity to the Danish border.
Aeglos is a one-man metal project from Offenburg in southern Germany, founded in 2010 by Patrick Schneckenburger, who handles guitar, bass, vocals, and songwriting. Their 2014 debut album I spans nine tracks of Tolkien-influenced heavy metal across forty-six minutes, with songs like Balrog and Gil-Galad revealing the literary inspirations behind the project's name — the icicle-spear wielded by the Elven king.
Half Moon Bay, California groove metal project channeling coastal fog into heavy, rhythmically driven music from the Pacific shoreline.
