Aggressor is a thrash metal band from Boston, Massachusetts. Their 2018 demo captures three tracks of raw, unpolished thrash from the New England underground.
Aggressors are a death/thrash metal band from Botucatu, São Paulo state, formed in 2014 around members who previously played together in a different project. Their debut EP The First Evil, released through Odioground Records in September 2016, delivers four tracks of grinding riff-driven thrash with death metal brutality and lyrical themes focused on war, religion, and political critique.
Aggrevil practices black metal from Koper on Slovenia's short Adriatic coastline since 2022. From this Mediterranean port city — the country's gateway to the sea — they channel maritime darkness through black metal.
Aggrieved delivers thrash metal from Newcastle upon Tyne since 2022, their angry name capturing the righteous fury that fuels their Tyneside riffing. Their northeast English origins feed a distinctly blue-collar approach to thrash.
Aggro is a thrash/death metal band from Hayward, California. Their 2020 release "Going Under OST" is a massive twenty-nine-track video game soundtrack, an unusual format that channels metal aggression into interactive entertainment.
Aggroculture is a thrash metal band from Allston, Massachusetts — Boston's legendary DIY music neighborhood. Their 2026 full-length "Scrumpydrinking Thrashcore Gimps" and a 2025 live recording capture the chaotic, irreverent energy of the Allston house show scene.
Agharta plays heavy and neoclassical metal from Groningen since 2008, named after the legendary underground kingdom. From the university city that serves as the cultural capital of the northern Netherlands, they bring classical sophistication to heavy metal.
Aghartha is a post-black metal band split between Evansville, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky. With six releases between 2016 and 2023 — including the full-lengths "Oceanic Womb" and "Avian" — the band crafts atmospheric, nature-influenced post-black metal from the Ohio River Valley.
Aghast is a death metal band from New York City. With five releases in 2020 alone — including remastered versions of earlier material — the project delivered a concentrated burst of death metal output.
