Athens' Agos merge black and death metal into compositions of darkened intensity, drawing from the deep well of Greek extreme metal tradition. Active since 2018, they channel both genres' most aggressive elements into a cohesive and punishing sound.
Black metal band from São Paulo formed in 2018, whose name translates roughly to 'omen' or 'ill omen' in Portuguese. They pursue a misanthropic, satanic-tinged style within the Brazilian underground black metal tradition, with their Bandcamp page operating under the handle 'mauagouro' ('bad omen').
Agowilt is a drone/doom metal and crust project from Long Beach, California. Their 2012 single "Clocks Made Of Their Own Bones" hints at a band operating at the crushing intersection of drone doom and crust punk.
Agoyzen delivers death metal from the Basque Country since 2016, their Basque-language name bringing the ancient Euskara tongue into extreme metal territory. Their Basque identity distinguishes them within Spain's broader death metal landscape.
New York City black metal project. Named after the demon queen of the night, adding Jewish demonology to NYC's diverse black metal scene.
Formed in the industrial town of Tatabánya in 1997, Agregator fuses the melodic intensity of Swedish-style death metal with gothic metal's brooding elegance. Their sound sits at the crossroads of aggression and melancholy, a combination that has sustained them through nearly three decades in Hungary's underground.
Agresia thrashes with hardcore from Žilina in northwestern Slovakia since 2015. Their Slovak name for 'aggression' drives a decade of punk-influenced thrash from this Váh River industrial city.
Madrid's Agresiva spent over a decade unleashing ferocious thrash metal driven by Samuel San José's vocals and Miguel Coello's razor-sharp guitar work. Albums like "Pánico escénico" and "Decibel Ritual" tackled themes of war, politics, and personal experience with the intensity the band's name promises.
Thrash metal band from Fortaleza, Ceará, formed in 2023. A very new entry into the northeast Brazilian metal scene, playing in the aggressive, riff-heavy thrash tradition that has long been a staple of Brazilian extreme metal.
