Aeshma is a black metal band from Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brazil, originally formed in 2002 and later relaunched around 2019. The band operates in the underground Brazilian black metal tradition, drawing on themes of darkness and misanthropy, with founding member Nocturnus Tepesh serving as vocalist and guitarist throughout the project's lifespan.
Aeshma Daeva is a black metal project from Salzburg, Austria, releasing austere material through the Bandcamp handle thenewathens. Their 2020 release XI is a compact three-track statement, and the project operates firmly within the raw, underground black metal tradition with minimal public presence.
Aesir is a remarkably prolific thrash metal solo project from Croton Falls, New York. With nine releases across just three years (2023-2025), including three full-lengths and six EPs, the project maintains a relentless output of riff-driven thrash spanning conceptual territory from sci-fi to existential themes.
Aesma Daeva is a symphonic metal and darkwave band from Saint Paul, Minnesota. Their 2006 album "Dawn of the New Athens" blends operatic vocals, orchestral arrangements, and darkwave atmospherics into a distinctive take on symphonic metal.
Aesmóðir creates death metal and powerviolence from Gävle in Gästrikland since 2021. Their Old Norse-styled name adds Viking-era linguistic identity to a fierce genre combination from this northern Swedish port city.
Aesta is an Austrian black metal project based in Linz, active since at least 2014 when they released the album From Darkness To Light. The project combines traditional black metal aggression with atmospheric elements, and has sporadically released singles into the 2020s, including the track 'City of Lights.'
Aesthesia is a heavy and power metal project from Mansfield, Ohio. With two full-lengths and three EPs released between 2019 and 2021, the project draws from nature-themed concepts — rainforests, cloud forests, jungles — creating an unusual thematic niche within power metal.
Aesthetics of a Loss crafts melodic death metal from Malmö since 2018. Their art-of-grief name drives compositions that find beauty in devastation from Sweden's southernmost major city.
Aesthetics of Creation is a melodic death metal project from Virginia. Their 2016 instrumental full-length "A Foreseen Demise" delivers melodic death metal stripped of vocals, letting the guitar work and arrangements speak for themselves across eleven tracks.
