After Eternity explores progressive metal from Oslo since 2017. Their name suggests the impossible — what comes after the infinite — and their compositions pursue equally ambitious structural territory.
After Evolution are a symphonic/gothic metal band from Zlín, Czech Republic, formed in 2013 by vocalist Nikolette Olšáková and guitarist Michal Matzner, whose epic orchestral arrangements draw from Nightwish, Epica, and film composer Hans Zimmer. Signed to Wormholedeath Records, the band released their debut "Threnodies" in 2016 and followed it with "War of the Worlds" in June 2022.
After Fall is a sludge metal band from Lake Worth, Florida. Their 2016 full-length "Seasons after Fall" is a mammoth forty-three-track release that suggests an experimental, sprawling approach to sludge metal.
After Forest blends groove and progressive metal from Vaasa on Finland's western coast since 2012, creating a rhythmically complex yet accessible sound. Their arboreal name and Ostrobothnian origins connect them to Finland's vast forest landscapes.
After Infinity reaches for the cosmic with power metal from the Finnish underground since 2022. Their name suggests compositions that venture beyond the boundaries of conventional metal, into territories as vast as their ambitions.
After Nine Comes Forty has evolved from deathcore into death metal from Yekaterinburg since 2022. Their mathematically absurd name brings surreal humor to the Ural city's growing extreme metal community.
After Oblivion are a technical death/thrash band from Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose music sits at the complex, precise end of the death metal spectrum. Their approach combines the angular riffing of technical death metal with the velocity and aggression of old-school thrash, producing material that is both rhythmically intricate and physically demanding.
After Realized explores progressive metal from Nantes since 2017, bringing structural complexity and intellectual depth to the Loire-Atlantique metal scene. Their reflective name suggests music that unfolds its full meaning only upon repeated listening.
