Alzheimer plays heavy metal and hard rock from Lentini near Syracuse in eastern Sicily, having formed in 2005 under a name that evokes the terrifying erosion of memory and identity. Their two-decade run from this ancient Sicilian town has produced a consistent body of classic-leaning heavy rock and metal.
Alzheir thrashes from Istanbul since 2019. Their Alzheimer's-referencing name drives compositions of memory-eroding velocity from Turkey's largest city.
New Jersey blackened avant-garde metal project pushing extreme metal into weird, angular territory. Spectrum delivers unconventional compositions that defy easy categorization within metal's established subgenres.

Their 2025 single "Increase" was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Loic Gaillard at Uproarious Records, with orchestrations by Brian Bendahan.
Lakeland, Florida groove metal/metalcore act with four releases spanning 2014-2019. Their Central Florida sound balances groove-driven heaviness with metalcore's dynamic shifts and melodic hooks.
Amaduscias is a death metal band from Carazinho, Rio Grande do Sul, formed in 2003 and rooted in the fierce extreme metal tradition of southern Brazil. Starting as a black metal act, they evolved into brutal death metal territory, with lyrical themes centered on war, paganism, and the bloody revolutionary history of Rio Grande do Sul; their album "Conceived Annihilation" documents this direction.
Amaguq practices black metal from Rennes in Brittany since 2016, named after the Inuit wolf spirit. From the capital of France's Celtic-influenced northwestern region, they channel the predatory spirit of their Arctic namesake.
Amala channels heavy and folk metal from Timișoara in the Banat since 2020. From Romania's westernmost major city — the city that sparked the 1989 revolution — they blend traditional Banat folk elements with metallic force.
