Chicago progressive metal project. Experimental heaviness from the Windy City's boundary-pushing underground.
Long Island, New York thrash metal project. Suburban aggression from the land of strip malls and speed metal.
Akrethion blends ambient and black metal from Yekaterinburg since 2014. Over a decade from the Ural Mountains' largest city, they have crafted atmospheric compositions that dissolve the boundary between electronic soundscape and metallic aggression.
Akribi explores progressive and gothic metal with rock elements from Gothenburg since 2020. Their Greek-derived name meaning 'precision' drives carefully constructed compositions from Sweden's western musical capital.
Akris is a stoner/sludge metal band from Alexandria, Virginia, just across the Potomac from Washington, D.C.
Akrisy grinds out punishing grindcore from the Finnish underground since 2020, delivering short, sharp bursts of sonic violence. Their anonymous origins and stripped-down approach embody the genre's commitment to raw extremity.
Akroma weaves black metal, progressive metal, and symphonic metal from Nancy since 2006, creating dramatic, orchestrally rich compositions from the Lorraine capital. Their multi-genre fusion produces a sound as architecturally complex as their historic city.
Akroma is a power metal band from Río Cuarto, in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, active since the mid-2000s in the country's underground metal circuit. The band contributed a cover of "Gates of Babylon" to the Argentine Ronnie James Dio tribute compilation Memento: Homenaje a un Grande in 2012, alongside acts such as Helker and Adrián Barilari. They represent Córdoba's provincial power metal scene, outside the Buenos Aires capital cluster where most Argentine metal activity is concentrated.
Akromusto channels black metal from Lipetsk in central Russia since 2004. Over two decades from this Black Earth Region industrial city, they have maintained a committed underground presence in Russian black metal.
