Agony Face has delivered technical death metal from Milan since 2007, nearly two decades of activity producing a body of technically demanding, brutally precise work. Their visceral name captures the contorted intensity that their Lombard technical death metal induces.
Agony Forge is a thrash/power metal and melodic death metal band from Madison, Wisconsin. Their 2021 EP "The Sleepy Sessions" offers a brief but energetic glimpse of the band's genre-crossing approach.

Agony Reigns is a thrash metal and metalcore band from the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area of Minnesota. Their 2017 "Powerhouse Demo" captures the raw early energy of a Twin Cities crossover act.
Death/doom metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, regarded as one of Brazil's leading acts in the progressive death-doom space. Their sound blends melancholic, somber atmosphere with a mix of powerful growls and clean vocals, as heard on their albums including 'Mankind's Glory' and the 2023 release 'We Don't Know What We Have Become', which pushed further into progressive territory.
Agoraphobia are a death metal band from Mönchzell in the Rhine-Neckar area of Germany, active since 2017, channeling extreme metal from the rural fringes of the Odenwald. Not to be confused with the Spanish rock band of the same name, this German incarnation delivers the genre's heaviest traditions.
Agoraphobic Nosebleed is a legendary grindcore and experimental extreme music project from Springfield, Massachusetts. Founded by Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer, the project is known for their machine-gun cybergrind assaults as well as unexpected stylistic detours into sludge and doom metal, making them one of the most unpredictable and influential acts in American grindcore.
Grindcore band from Rio de Janeiro formed around 2000, active intermittently since with a resumed presence from 2015 onward. Singing predominantly in Portuguese, their lyrics take on social and political themes — anti-war, anti-prejudice, environmental devastation — delivered over tight, blast-driven grind across releases including the demo 'Evergrind', the LP 'Ruptura', and the 2017 EP 'Infrator'.
Agoria blends black and doom metal from Riihimäki since 2011, creating compositions that shift between blast-beat fury and crushing slowness. Their dual-genre approach spans the extremes of tempo within Finnish underground metal.
