Age of Fear is a heavy metal band from Paulo Afonso, in the interior of Bahia, Brazil, formed in 2014. One of the few metal acts from this small city in the São Francisco Valley, the band operates in the classic heavy metal tradition and has released material including a self-titled EP, a demo "Echoes of a Lost Age," and the album "Born in Darkness." Their existence reflects the spread of Brazil's metal underground well beyond the major urban centers of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
Age of Fire is a heavy and thrash metal band that started in South Florida before relocating to Charlottesville, Virginia. With six releases spanning 2019 to 2025 — including a 30th anniversary reissue — the band is a veteran act that has persisted through decades and geography changes.
Age of Nefarious delivers thrash and speed metal from Värmland since 2016. Their wicked-era name drives compositions of villainous velocity from this forested western Swedish province.

Age of Pain delivers death metal from Palermo, Sicily's capital city where Norman, Arab, and Byzantine influences converge, since 2022. Their direct name matches the brutal straightforwardness of their approach to Sicilian extreme metal.
Age of Rage is a death metal project from Marion, Ohio. With five releases including the sprawling forty-track "SKALD Covers" and the eighteen-track "INSIDEME," the project favors quantity and ambition over restraint.
Age of Ruin is a melodic death metal and metalcore band from Washington state. Active since at least 2003 with their EP "The Longest Winter's Woes," the band returned over two decades later with the 2025 full-length "Nothingman," proving remarkable longevity.
