Colorado Springs sludge/death metal project with a rapid-fire 2025-2026 output including covers compilations and originals. A prolific one-person operation grinding out heaviness at altitude.
Alone in the Dark crafts doom and death metal from Báhoň near Bratislava since 2012. Their horror-game-referencing name drives over a decade of compositions that explore solitary dread from this small western Slovak town.
Alone in the Mist creates atmospheric black and doom metal from the Rudnya-Smolensk area since 2020. Their fog-isolated name perfectly captures the damp, grey atmosphere of western Russia's borderland forests.
Alone Path is a one-man raw black metal project from Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2024 by a multi-instrumentalist named Felipe. The project channels lo-fi, atmospheric black metal with lyrical themes rooted in depression, luciferianism, and occult introspection.
Alone with Whores is a black metal/grindcore band from Catanduva, São Paulo, formed in 2023 and released on the local D.I.Y. imprint Podreira Records. Their self-titled 2023 EP blends the abrasive speed of grindcore with black metal rawness, representing the underground noise scene of the interior of São Paulo state.
Along Memories crafts atmospheric post-black metal from Dnipro since 2019. Their nostalgic name drives compositions that walk alongside recollection, channeling the vast Dnieper River landscape into atmospheric compositions.
Aloys Fudanshi has evolved from blackened death metal into avant-garde and death metal territory from Turku since 2021. Their Japanese-inflected name — fudanshi being a male fan of boys' love manga — signals an unconventional creative vision from the Finnish southwest.
Lewisburg, Kentucky doom metal duo crafting patient, heavy compositions from rural Appalachia. Their work bridges traditional doom's weight with a DIY intimacy that reflects their small-town origins.
Alpamysh blends black metal with ambient textures from Pescara since 2024, named after the Central Asian folk hero. Their cross-cultural name brings Turkic mythology into the framework of Adriatic-coast extreme metal.
