Airhead has thrashed from Vicenza since 2012, channeling Veneto's historically minded city into reckless speed and aggression. Their self-deprecating name belies the disciplined ferocity of their thrash metal approach.
Polygyros' Airheads deliver straightforward, no-frills heavy metal with the unpretentious energy of a band that plays purely for the love of the riff. Since 2015, they've brought classic metal spirit to the Halkidiki peninsula.
Airless are a heavy metal band from Hamburg, Germany, active since 2002, representing over two decades of persistence in the northern German metal scene. Not to be confused with the Spanish hard rock band of the same name, this Hamburg outfit channels the classic heavy metal tradition from Germany's largest port city.
Airlines of Terror creates a volatile cocktail of death 'n' roll, grindcore, and rock from Rome since 2010. Their absurdist name and genre-blending approach bring irreverent chaos to the Eternal City's diverse extreme music landscape.
Intense Metalcore out of Texas.
Airs is a project from San Francisco that began as black metal/shoegaze before evolving into post-rock, shoegaze, and experimental territory. With five releases between 2013 and 2015 — including the full-length "Adore" — the project represents the genre-fluid experimentation that defines the Bay Area music scene.
AirSpeed delivers heavy metal from Siena, the Tuscan hill city famous for its Palio horse race, since 2016. Their velocity-focused name drives a classic heavy metal sound that races through the medieval streets of their historic hometown.
Airstrike is a heavy metal band from Lincoln, Nebraska. With nine releases spanning 2012 to 2025, the band has been a remarkably consistent presence in one of the most underrepresented states in American metal.
