Colorado Springs death metal project. The name's white-washed death house imagery channels clinical horror from the Pikes Peak region.
Alacrity delivers crossover and death metal from Warsaw since 2012. Their energetic name — meaning cheerful willingness — brings an unexpected enthusiasm to the violence of their punk-death fusion from the Polish capital.
Despite being born in the 1990s, Alacrán's four members play heavy and speed metal with the fire of an earlier era, proudly singing in Spanish over riffs that nod to the NWOTHM movement. Their 2024 album "Luzifer" distills Zaragoza's underground metal spirit into fast, unapologetic traditional metal.
Aladecorb carried the heavy metal torch from the tiny Catalan village of Serinyà for over a decade before splitting up in 2017. After the passing of member Jordi Zaporta, the remaining members reunited for one final tribute show in October 2019, closing a heartfelt chapter in Catalonia's grassroots metal community.
Aladåb plays heavy metal from Vaasa on Finland's western coast as of 2025. From this bilingual Finnish-Swedish city on the Gulf of Bothnia, they bring classic heavy metal energy to the Ostrobothnian metal scene.
Alagos has evolved from thrash and death metal into purer thrash territory from Tomsk in western Siberia since 2014. Over a decade from this historic Siberian university city, they have refined their approach to focused thrash intensity.
Alaic is a one-man depressive black metal and ambient project from Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, run solely by the musician known as Putrefactus, who handles all instruments, mixing, and mastering. Active since 2016, the project has produced a substantial catalog including the albums "The Harvest," "Final Embers of Sunlight," and "Overcoming the Existence," as well as split work, exploring themes of despair and inner dissolution characteristic of the Brazilian DSBM scene.
Newark, Delaware death metal project. The name's playful energy belies its brutal musical intent from the First State.
Alakran is a Buenos Aires heavy metal and hard rock band with roots going back to 1982, making them one of Argentina's longest-running acts in the genre. Founded by guitarist Gady Pampillón and vocalist Mario Curcio, the band released albums including Vagabundear and Otra vez en las calles (1991), and has since continued under vocalist Mario Ian through multiple reunion periods. They were part of the wave of Argentine hard rock acts — alongside Kamikaze and Rata Blanca — that defined the sound of the country's metal scene in the late 1980s.
