Welsh punk trio Aerial Salad emerged from Cardiff around 2014, channeling the spirit of classic skate punk and pop-punk through a distinctly British lens. Their raw, fast-paced approach recalls Fat Wreck Chords bands of the late '90s while injecting self-deprecating humor and working-class frustration. Albums like 'Roach' showcase a band that prizes energy and honesty over polish, delivering short, sharp bursts of infectious punk rock.
Aerial View is a progressive metal band from Sacramento, California. With two EPs and a single released between 2014 and 2017, the band crafts technically accomplished progressive metal that draws from both the djent movement and classic prog influences.
Aerik is a black metal project from New York City tied to the broader creative output of Aerik Von. With seven releases in 2023-2024 alone — including remastered anniversary editions — the project delivers raw, confrontational black metal from the heart of the NYC underground.
Aerik Von is a New York City-based multi-genre solo artist whose work spans heavy metal, hard rock, punk, and synthwave. With a catalog including the sprawling fifteen-track "Shadow Empire" and anniversary reissues, Von is a one-person creative force whose output defies easy categorization.
Aerith is a melodic death metal project from Chico, California. Named after the iconic Final Fantasy character, the project's 2019 single "The Cosmic Winds" offers a glimpse of melodic death metal with a cosmic, fantastical edge.
Aerodyne delivers melodic heavy metal and hard rock from Gothenburg since 2017. Their aerospace-derived name drives streamlined, velocity-focused compositions from Sweden's industrial west coast.
Aeronwen is a symphonic progressive metal band from San Diego, California. Their 2023 debut full-length "Fallen in Ruin" combines orchestral grandeur with progressive metal complexity across eight tracks, a polished entry into the Southern California metal scene.
Death metal band from Locarno, in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, Switzerland, who reformed in autumn 2021 after roughly three decades of inactivity. Their releases—including "Sworn to the Grave," "Rehearsal Flatulences," and "Invoking the Filth"—foreground horror-oriented, splatter-themed lyrics in the tradition of old-school gore death metal.
Aeroscreamer is a heavy metal band from Vitoria-Gasteiz, the capital of the Basque Country in Spain, formed in 2020, delivering traditional heavy metal from the heart of the Basque region. The band's name evokes the screaming power and sonic velocity at the core of their heavy metal approach.
