Austin, Texas NWOTHM project. Soaring classic heavy metal from the Live Music Capital.
Athens' Aetherian craft emotionally charged melodic death metal exploring themes of nature, inner conflict, and the corruption of the human soul. Signed to Lifeforce Records, their albums 'The Untamed Wilderness' and 'At Storm's Edge' have established them as one of Greece's leading melodeath acts with a devoted following across Europe.
Aetheric is a melodic death metal project from Minneapolis, Minnesota. With nine releases since 2018 — including two full-lengths "delirium" and "dying embers" — the project has built a substantial body of atmospheric, emotionally textured melodic death metal with an introspective, lowercase-aesthetic sensibility.
Aetheric Existence is a symphonic blackened death metal project from New Hampshire. Their two full-lengths — "H o r r i f i c a" (2021) and a 2023 remaster — layer sweeping symphonic arrangements over blackened death metal, creating a dense and dramatic sound.
A black/death metal band from Zoersel, Antwerp, formed in 1995 by a group of friends with lyrical themes rooted in psychology and depression. The lineup stabilized in 1997 around a five-piece including two guitarists, bass/vocals, keyboards, and drums, and the band recorded a rehearsal tape in 1998 before internal changes led to their eventual dissolution.
Aetherium Mors merges black metal, death metal, and melodic death metal from Plymouth since 2012, their Latin name meaning "ethereal death" reflecting a sound that bridges beauty and brutality. Over a decade of triple-genre extremity from Devon speaks to sustained commitment.
Aetherius is a progressive metal band from North Chelmsford, Massachusetts. One of the most prolific acts in New England prog metal, the band has released four full-lengths and seven EPs since 2019, with titles like "Razed Youth" and "Things I Cannot Change" reflecting a deeply personal and emotionally driven approach to heavy progressive music.
Aetherna plays heavy metal and rock from Rome since 2019, their name suggesting an eternal quality that the Eternal City itself embodies. Their classic-leaning approach pays homage to heavy metal's foundational principles within one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
Aethernaeum is a folk black metal project from Berlin, Germany, creating naturalistic music in the vein of Agalloch, Dornenreich, and Moonsorrow. With releases including Wanderungen durch den Daemmerwald and Naturmystik, the project weaves pagan folk elements into atmospheric black metal, and as of 2025 is working on a comeback album.
