Ammophila channels depressive black metal from Zvolen in central Slovakia since 2017. Named after the sand wasp genus, their entomological identity drives compositions of burrowing despair from this Hron Valley town.
San Francisco stoner metal project. The Greek word for 'sand' channels desert vibes through Bay Area fuzz.

Liberty, Missouri black metal and grindcore project. Military arsenal imagery from the Kansas City suburbs.
Amnabys channels doom and stoner metal from the Hampshire town of Farnborough since 2024, bringing heavy, psychedelic grooves to the Home Counties. Their enigmatic name adds mystery to their crushing sound.
Portland stoner metal experimentalists active since 2014, pushing the genre into stranger corners with releases that blur the line between heavy music and art project. From the live document AS LIVE to the digital-age meditation STROBE.RIP, they resist easy categorization while keeping the riffs front and center.
Dallas hardcore punk act delivering short, sharp bursts of fury since 2021. Their debut EP A Kingdom Where Hyenas May Jest and Prance pairs literary aspirations with raw punk energy — a combination that feels right at home in the Texas underground.
Amnesie is a death metal and grindcore band from Rostock, Germany, active since 2004, delivering the brutal, high-speed assault characteristic of the grindcore-death metal crossover. Based in the port city on the Baltic coast, the band has maintained a two-decade presence in northeastern Germany's extreme metal underground.
Amnesis explores progressive metal from Turin since 2014, their name — derived from the Greek for 'forgetfulness' — contrasting with the intricate, carefully constructed compositions they create. Piedmont's progressive metal tradition gains another voice in their detailed sonic architecture.
