Amistad practices black metal from North Holland since 2019. Their Spanish name meaning 'friendship' creates a striking contrast with the misanthropic hostility typical of their genre.
Athens' Amken deliver blood-pumping thrash metal that bridges old-school ferocity with modern precision, signed to Massacre Records for their acclaimed album 'Passive Aggression.' Their sound captures the relentless energy of classic thrash while incorporating a uniquely Greek sense of urgency and technical ambition.
Amma plays heavy metal and hard rock from Wallonia since 2012, their name — shared with the Icelandic word for grandmother — carrying an unexpected warmth for a metal act. Their Francophone Belgian identity shapes a classic-leaning approach to heavy music.
Ammanas has evolved from black metal into epic and atmospheric black metal from Vladivostok since 2019. Named after the god of shadow in Steven Erikson's Malazan books, they channel literary fantasy into increasingly expansive compositions from Russia's Pacific coast.
Ammit is a death metal and deathcore band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, named after the Egyptian mythological demoness — part lion, hippopotamus, and crocodile — who devoured the hearts of the unworthy dead. The band incorporates lyrical themes drawn from hermetic philosophy and Egyptian mythology, and their sound blends the technicality of modern death metal with the heaviness of deathcore. They gained early visibility opening for Ukrainian metal act Jinjer on the band's Brazilian dates.
Ammokrates channels power metal from Helsinki since 2016, bringing epic grandeur to Finland's capital with their mythologically inspired approach. Their Greek-flavored name hints at compositions that draw from ancient warrior traditions.
Savannah, Georgia speed metal warriors with a Viking metal edge, blending Peach State grit with Norse mythology since 2018. Their EPs Artificial Intelligence and Shadow Work show a band evolving from pure velocity into more thematically ambitious territory.
Ammonium creates death metal from Izhevsk, the capital of Udmurtia, since 2012. Named after the chemical ion, they bring molecular-level intensity to over a decade of death metal from this Ural Republic arms-manufacturing center.
Doom and progressive metal project of unknown origin named after the extinct cephalopod. Prehistoric heaviness built on geological time.
