Ails is a black metal band from Oakland, California featuring former members of Ludicra, one of the Bay Area's most celebrated black metal acts. Their 2018 EP "The Unraveling" carries forward the atmospheric, emotionally complex black metal that defined their prior band.
Ailurophobia delivers death metal from Geneva since 2024, named after the irrational fear of cats. From the city of the United Nations and CERN, they bring a particularly intense brand of death metal that belies their whimsical feline-phobia name.
Aim explores melodic and progressive death metal from Kaliningrad since 2010. Over fifteen years from Russia's Baltic exclave, they have crafted compositions that target the intersection of melody and technical ambition.
Aima channels experimental and progressive metal from Rome since 1999, a quarter-century of boundary-pushing creativity from the Italian capital. Their Greek name meaning 'blood' runs through compositions that refuse to conform to genre expectations.

Aimless Death are a death-thrash metal band from Kulmbach, Germany, active since 2018, whose releases include the Mountains of Madness album and a self-titled EP. Operating from Upper Franconia's brewing heartland, they deliver Lovecraft-inspired extreme metal with the directness their name implies.
Aina is a German symphonic power metal project active since 2015, blending orchestral arrangements with heavy metal power and vocal grandeur. Not to be confused with the Ukrainian electronica act of the same name, this project channels the epic traditions of European symphonic metal.
Ainkurn is a Hungarian black metal project that surfaced in 2021, maintaining anonymity regarding its geographic origins within the country. The project channels a raw, uncompromising strain of black metal steeped in misanthropy.
