Agent Slimepunk is a Florida-based project that began as melodic death metal before veering into glitch, dubstep, and electronica. The schizophrenic evolution across four releases — from death metal to electronic music and back — makes this one of the more unpredictable acts in the dataset.
Los Angeles/Tampa thrash metal legends who helped pioneer the speed metal movement in the 1980s. One of the most important bands in the early LA thrash scene.
Agent X is a thrash metal band from Amherst, New York. Their 2023 full-length "The War Will Feed Itself" delivers eight tracks of politically charged thrash from the Buffalo suburb.
Agentpunch are a self-described 'apocalypse-oriented metal' band from Osnabrück, Germany, active since 2020, with releases including Investigation and Breaking Pizdation. Their dystopian thematic focus and irreverent naming conventions suggest a band with as much sardonic humor as heaviness.
Agents of Man is a New Jersey metalcore and hardcore punk band formed in 2000, featuring veterans of acts including Bulldoze, One4One, and Maximum Penalty. The band released Count Your Blessings in 2005 and maintained an active profile in the New Jersey and New York hardcore scenes before disbanding in 2006 and reuniting in 2018. Their sound sits at the intersection of metalcore and East Coast hardcore.
Agentz of Khaos is a groove, death, and thrash metal band from Harrison, Arkansas. Their 2021 single "Khaos Reigns" introduces the band's blend of groove-driven heaviness from the Ozarks.
Boston death metal project. Forgotten millennia rendered in New England extremity.
Ages of Blood is an Argentine black metal project formed in 2020 that works with themes of medieval mysticism, anti-Christianity, and occultism.

The project was released through His Wounds and is currently on hold.
Ages of Night creates gothic and doom metal from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky since 2014. From the capital of the Kamchatka Peninsula — one of the most volcanically active places on Earth — they craft darkly romantic metal surrounded by fire-breathing mountains.
