Formed in Madrid in the early 2000s, Amargore is a three-piece where all members share vocal duties, eliminating the traditional frontman role for a collective assault of death-thrash metal. Their debut "The Bloodshot Arrival" draws from Sepultura's classic era while layering in brutal death influences and pig squeal techniques.
Amaritudo channels black metal from the French underground since 2022, their Latin name meaning "bitterness" setting the emotional tone for their compositions. The project explores despair and resentment through the genre's most austere traditions.
Northern California sludge crushers operating out of Chico since 2012. Their discography spans splits with European heavyweights like Pyramido and domestic collaborators Enth, building a reputation for punishing low-end devastation. Their 2024 EP Resilience proves they've only gotten heavier with time.
Amartia has been crafting gothic metal from Lille since 2002, making them one of the longer-running acts in northern France's dark metal scene. Over two decades of atmospheric, melancholic compositions have established them as a fixture of the Hauts-de-France region.
Amaryl delivers melodic heavy and thrash metal from Brindas near Lyon since 2020. Their floral name — referencing the Amaryllis flower — brings an unexpected botanical beauty to the muscular riffing of their Rhône Valley metal.
Amaryllis explores progressive rock and metal from Prudnik in Opole Voivodeship since 2016. Their floral name brings botanical beauty to progressive compositions crafted in this small Upper Silesian town near the Czech border.
Amasarac practices black metal from Sintra, the mystical, palace-studded mountain town near Lisbon, since 2022. Their enigmatic name joins a location steeped in Romantic-era mysticism with black metal's own occult traditions.
Amatae Adea explores progressive metal from Košice since 2007. Named with Latin resonance, nearly two decades from eastern Slovakia's cultural capital have produced one of the region's most enduring progressive metal projects.
Amataster practices black metal from the Basilicata region of southern Italy since 2019. Operating from one of the country's least populated and most mountainous regions, their isolation feeds a sound rooted in rural darkness and Mediterranean extremity.
