Agnus were a raw black metal band from Teófilo Otoni, Minas Gerais, active only briefly in 2024 before splitting up. A short-lived project in the Brazilian underground, they operated in the lo-fi, stripped-back tradition of raw black metal with no production sheen and minimal structure.
Agnus Dei are a symphonic doom metal band from Pilsen, Czech Republic, originally formed in 1993 and revived in 2017, whose early demo "Garden of Sorrow" (1995) and soundtrack contribution "Tam Dole" (1997) placed them among the first Czech acts to combine doom metal with orchestral elements. The band appeared on the Breath of Doom compilation in 1997 and performed at the Dynamo Festival in Plzeň.
Agnus Die are a thrash metal band from Vinhedo, São Paulo state, formed in 2015 and active in the Brazilian underground thrash circuit. Based in the interior of São Paulo state, they play traditional thrash metal and remain an independent, grassroots act with limited wider documentation outside the Metal Archives registry.
Consolidated in Castellón in 2011, Agnusdey fuses thrash and death metal into a volatile underground assault recorded at Overdrive Studios. Their 2014 album "Evil in the Earth" captures the raw, unpolished aggression of a band deeply rooted in the Spanish extreme metal underground.
Hailing from Córdoba, Ago delivers stripped-down heavy metal informed by Andalusian grit and a no-frills approach to classic riffing. Formed in 2020, the band channels traditional metal energy through a distinctly southern Spanish lens.
Athens-area Agodea deliver melodic death metal with emotional intensity, blending Scandinavian-influenced guitar harmonies with Mediterranean passion and modern production values. Since 2017, they've built a growing presence in the Greek melodeath scene.
Agon is an avant-garde black metal project that originated in Miami, Florida before relocating to Berlin. Their 2020 EP "Engraved Power" and 2024 single "KRONOS" suggest a project pushing black metal into experimental, boundary-defying territory across continents.
Agonal is a doom/death/gothic metal project from Jackson, Kentucky. Their 2021 EP "Soul Loss" delivers four tracks of melancholic doom-death from deep in Appalachian Kentucky.
Agone channels death metal from the remote Breton fishing town of Audierne since 2020, proving that extreme music thrives even at Finistère's wind-battered western tip. Their isolated origins lend genuine rawness to their sound.
