San Antonio, Texas black metal project. The demonic name combined with cosmic imagery creates infernal astronomy from the Alamo City.
Allochesia channels black metal from the tiny Breton village of Langolen in Finistère since 2014, drawing from the Celtic heritage and Atlantic isolation of France's westernmost region. Their medical-term name, referencing displaced sensation, suits music that recontextualizes familiar black metal elements.
Brooklyn thrash metal project named after the magic system in Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. Fantasy literature meets New York speed metal.
Allos is a progressive power metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, blending the speed and harmony of power metal with sophisticated prog technique and symphonic elements. Their 2024 album 'Strong Delusion' features guest appearances from Christian Liljegren of Swedish veterans Narnia and Rob Rock of Impellitteri, and was mixed by Thomas 'Plec' Johansson, signaling the band's growing international reach.
Allow delivers heavy metal from Foggia in the Puglia flatlands since 2014, an unusual name for a metal band that carries a permissive quality at odds with the genre's typical aggression. Their Tavoliere delle Puglie origins place them in the agricultural heartland of southern Italy.
Rooted in Pamplona's metal community since 2014, Allowance merges melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with thrash metal's velocity and death metal's weight. Their sound carves a niche at the intersection of Navarra's extreme metal traditions.
Stuart, Florida groove metal project. The metallurgical name — a blend of metals — fits the hybrid nature of their rhythmically driven sound from the Treasure Coast.
Allt is a Swedish progressive metalcore and djent band formed in 2011, whose name is the Swedish word for "everything." The band developed a sound rooted in the thall and djent subgenres, characterized by polyrhythmic guitar work, heavy low-end emphasis, and atmospheric passages. Their debut full-length From the New World was released in October 2024, preceded by EPs including The Seed of Self-Destruction and Dark Waters that established the band within the progressive metalcore underground. A follow-up album was confirmed in production as of late 2025.
Portland, Oregon post-metal project. The altar-referencing name channels sacred space through atmospheric heaviness.
