Amethys has been delivering power metal from Bordeaux since 2003, bringing over two decades of melodic, anthemic compositions to the Gironde capital. Their gem-inspired name captures the precious quality of their polished sound.
Chicago NWOTHM project. The crystalline name adds geological beauty to Windy City traditional metal.
Illinois black metal project emerging in 2023 with a rapid-fire release schedule. Three EPs in two years — including the enigmatically titled Descending Green Object — suggest a prolific creative drive channeling atmospheric black metal through a distinctly Midwestern filter.
Amethyste combines death and thrash metal from the northern coastal town of Boulogne-sur-Mer since 2004, channeling the Channel coast's harsh winds into aggressive extreme metal. Two decades of activity make them one of the Pas-de-Calais department's most enduring metal acts.
Pennsylvania death metal project named after the eye condition causing blurred vision. Medical horror from the Keystone State.
Ametropie is a melodic black metal band from the Leverkusen and Wermelskirchen area of Germany, formed in 2018, weaving melody into the raw aggression of black metal. The band represents the melodic side of the Rhineland's black metal scene, tempering blast beats and tremolo picking with memorable harmonic passages.
Amfortas crafts death-doom metal from the southeastern port city of Hamina since 2017, named after the wounded Grail King of Arthurian legend. Their literary inspiration feeds compositions that carry the weight of ancient myth and inevitable suffering.
Amid the Barren and Lost fuses death metal, deathcore, and thrash metal from London since 2018, their desolate name evoking the wasteland their compositions inhabit. Their triple-genre approach creates an overwhelming assault.
Atlanta black/doom hybrid that arrived fully formed in 2020 with Such Devils We Shame. The band merges the tremolo-picked fury of black metal with the glacial pacing of doom, creating an oppressive atmosphere fitting for the humid Southern heat.
