Agressor is a heavy and power metal band from New York City. With four releases between 2018 and 2021 — including the full-lengths "Medieval Rites" and "Neverending Destiny" — the band plays classic-styled power metal with an epic, medieval flair.
Thrash metal band from Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, with roots tracing back to a veteran act of the same name founded in 1982 in that city — one of Brazil's earliest thrash outfits. The band recorded demo tapes including 'Destruição Metálica' (1986) and 'Kill or Die' (1988, later reissued on vinyl), singing in Portuguese with hardcore-influenced vocals over raw thrash riffs before disbanding and eventually reconvening.
Budapest's Agresszor emerged in 2023 carrying the raw, unpolished fury of old-school thrash metal into Hungary's capital city. Their debut material channels the reckless velocity and gang-shout energy of the genre's 1980s golden era.
Agrezor is a thrash metal band from Los Angeles. Their 2023 output includes the EP "Death to Earth" alongside a reissued 2008 demo, connecting the band's present-day thrash to over a decade of underground activity.
Agriculture is a post-black metal band from Los Angeles that has quickly become one of the most talked-about acts in American underground metal. Formed by members of the hardcore and punk scenes, the band's approach to black metal is informed by shoegaze, post-rock, and a DIY ethos, earning critical acclaim and festival appearances since their emergence in 2022.
Agrimonia has delivered sludge, post-metal, and crust from Gothenburg since 2013. Named after the agrimony plant used in folk medicine, they channel herbal bitterness through crushing, socially conscious heaviness from Sweden's west coast.
Agrinex is a black metal band from Des Moines, Iowa. Their 2016 full-length "Forsaken Ancestral Blood" delivers eight tracks of black metal from the heartland, one of the genre's least expected geographic strongholds.
Newington, Connecticut industrial and progressive metal project. The occultist philosopher's name paired with a year for boundary-crossing heaviness.
Grindcore band from Paraíba formed in 2024, self-described as inspired by 'eardrum-destroying' grind acts. In their short existence they have already released a split with Abissal and contributed to the Incorruptible Project split, playing unpolished, raw grindcore in the vein of classic old-school grind.
