Agaliaretph is a black metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2017, whose name references the demon Agaliarept from the Grand Grimoire. The band delivers black metal from Spain's capital city, channeling demonological themes through the genre's hostile framework.
Agalirept practices black metal from Malbork since 2017, named after a demon from the Grand Grimoire. From the shadow of Europe's largest Gothic castle, they summon compositions of infernal authority.
Agalloch was one of the most revered bands in American atmospheric metal, based in Portland, Oregon. Blending black metal, folk, doom, post-rock, and neofolk into something entirely their own, the band created a string of landmark albums including "The Mantle" and "Ashes Against the Grain" before disbanding in 2016. Their Bandcamp catalog preserves remasters and demos from a body of work that helped define the atmospheric metal genre.
Agamendon are a melodic death metal band from Castrop-Rauxel in the Ruhr Valley, Germany, active since 2006, drawing from the Scandinavian melodeath tradition while injecting the industrial grit of their hometown. Nearly two decades in the scene have given them a mature command of the genre's balance between melody and aggression.
Agan are a gothic metal and heavy metal band from Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, active since 2014, who blend the dark romanticism of gothic metal with the power of traditional heavy metal. Their sound reflects the atmospheric sensibility common to the gothic metal tradition rooted in central European aesthetics.
Aganoor delivers stoner and doom metal from Rome as of 2025, bringing hazy riff worship to the ancient capital. Their name, shared with the Italian poet Vittoria Aganoor, hints at an artistic sensibility beneath the fuzzed-out heaviness.
Aganthros combines black metal experimentation from Jyväskylä since 2022, pushing the genre's boundaries in central Finland. Their experimental approach reflects the adventurous spirit of Finland's inland metal communities.
Agape is a black/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2020. Drawing on themes of the human mind, inner darkness, and resilience, the band merges the slow, crushing weight of doom metal with the cold, abrasive textures of black metal. They are part of Rio de Janeiro's active underground extreme metal scene, operating independently.
Agares is a black metal project from Stade, Germany, formed in 2025, named after the demon duke from the Ars Goetia who commands thirty-one legions of spirits.
