Amalek is a black metal band from Saxony, Germany, formed in 2018, operating in the raw and uncompromising tradition of the genre. The band's Saxony roots place them within one of eastern Germany's most active regions for underground black metal.
San Antonio progressive metal outfit formed in 2023, channeling technical precision and atmospheric songwriting into a sound that pushes beyond conventional genre boundaries. Their debut EP The Outer Limits captures a band already comfortable with complex arrangements.
Albany thrash unit tearing through New York's capital region since 2021 with a prolific output that includes multiple full-lengths and splits. Their sound blends classic thrash aggression with a restless creative energy, covering ground from the raw fury of Royal Nothing to the refined attack of Best Behavior.
Athens' Amalphi generate thick, fuzz-drenched doom and stoner metal built on massive riffs and hypnotic grooves. Since 2019, they've been crafting a haze of psychedelic heaviness that nods to the genre's desert rock roots.
Amalthea has evolved from atmospheric death and doom metal into alternative rock territory from Murcia since their most recent incarnation in 2025. Named after the goat that nursed infant Zeus, their stylistic metamorphosis reflects the nourishing, transformative power of their Mediterranean setting.
Winchester, Virginia doom merchants conjuring heavy, psychedelia-laced riffs since 2017. Named after the genus of poisonous mushrooms, their catalog sprawls across multiple EPs and full-lengths that explore the intersection of crushing weight and hypnotic repetition, from the lysergic haze of Love³ to the pandemic-era Quarantine in Warm.
Amanita Virosa takes its name from the deadly destroying angel mushroom and delivers equally toxic melodic death metal from Mikkeli since 2015. The mycological moniker perfectly suits a band whose music combines lethal heaviness with deceptive melodic beauty.
Amanite delivers raw black metal from the Mediterranean port of Toulon since 2015, named after the deadly Amanita mushroom genus. Their toxic fungal name suits a sound designed to be as lethal and unpalatable as the poisonous fungi they honor.
Hailing from the Basque town of Laudio, Amankomun unleashes death-thrash metal with lyrics rooted in Basque cultural identity. Formed in 2019, they channel the region's fierce independent spirit into a volatile mix of extreme metal aggression.
