Austin, Texas metalcore project. The name rebels against the old guard from a city that reinvents itself constantly.
Against the Current formed in Poughkeepsie in 2011 and grew from a YouTube-era pop-rock band into an international alternative act with clear pop-punk roots. Chrissy Costanza, Dan Gow, and Will Ferri first built momentum through covers and independent EPs, then developed their own catalog with Infinity and Gravity. In Our Bones established a polished full-length identity with "Running with the Wild Things," "Wasteland," and "Young & Relentless," while Past Lives moved toward sleeker synth-pop and alternative rock. Later singles and Fever brought back more bite, and "Legends Never Die," created with League of Legends, carried the band to a much wider global audience. Against the Current fit punk scope through pop punk and alternative-rock context, especially in their early writing, touring, and scene relationships. They are melodic and highly polished, but the core appeal remains guitar-driven urgency, big choruses, and Costanza's commanding vocal presence. The band works best when pop clarity and rock momentum reinforce each other, turning self-doubt and defiance into songs built for immediate lift.
Against the Damned is a melodic death metal band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Their self-titled 2019 EP delivers six tracks of melodic death metal from a state rarely associated with the genre.
Chicago black/death metal project. Pestilence-fighting extremity from the Windy City.
Against the Seasons blends atmospheric folk, doom, and post-metal from an undisclosed Polish location since 2024. Their name suggests defiance of nature's cyclical rhythms, which their multi-genre approach mirrors through compositions that refuse seasonal predictability.
Pittsburgh noise rock project. Biblical-sounding fury channeled through dissonant heaviness from the Steel City.
Agalarieth are a black metal band from Valdivia, Chile, who released the demo "Dark Path Begins" in 2011, recorded at Black King studio in Valdivia and issued as a pro-CDR limited to 300 copies. The four-track demo was also distributed on cassette through labels including Anti Cosmic Productions and Depressive Illusions Records.
Agaliarept is a black metal project from California named after a demon from occult grimoire tradition. Their two EPs — "Human sacrificium" (2017) and "Necro Lust Invocation" (2019) — deliver raw, occult-themed black metal steeped in the traditions of the Second Wave.
Agaliareth is a black metal band from San Cristobal de La Laguna in the Canary Islands, Spain, formed in 2017, channeling black metal's dark aggression from the Atlantic archipelago. The band takes its name from demonic tradition, reflecting the occult themes central to their black metal approach.
