Thrash metal band from Lausanne, Switzerland, formed in 2008 by members Mat, Tony, Ed, and Phil, and signed to Unspeakable Axe Records after an early deal with Stormspell Records. Their discography spans the 2012 debut "Polymorph," the 2019 album "Pulse?," and a 2022 follow-up, placing them among Switzerland's most consistently active thrash metal acts.
Algeia channels atmospheric and depressive black metal from Sevastopol since 2017. Named after the Greek spirit of sorrow, they craft compositions of oceanic grief from this historic Black Sea port city.
Algeroth merges thrash and death metal from Warsaw since 2018. Named after a Mutant Chronicles wargame deity, they bring tabletop-gaming mythology to extreme metal from Poland's largest city.
Algetic produces technical brutal death metal from Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg since 2013. Named after a term relating to pain sensitivity, their surgical-precision brutality emerges from one of Germany's leading technology cities.
Portland, Maine black metal act whose debut The Osseous Key delivers eight tracks of cold, northeastern black metal. The project mines the same bleak atmosphere that defines New England's growing extreme metal underground.
Salt Lake City black/thrash project that emerged in 2023 with a self-titled three-track debut. Fast, aggressive, and rooted in the first-wave spirit of Bathory and early Sodom.
Pennsylvania progressive black metal act blending celestial themes with intricate compositions. Their debut Catasterismi — named for the mythological transformation of figures into constellations — explores cosmic subject matter through technically ambitious black metal.
Milwaukee black metal project. The name — meaning 'cold funeral' — captures the frozen finality of a Wisconsin winter burial.
Algide channels black metal from the Franche-Comté town of Montbéliard since 2013, their French word for "icy cold" perfectly describing the frigid atmosphere of their sound. The project draws from the harsh winters of eastern France's Jura borderlands.
