Los Angeles heavy metal / nwothm project from the California underground.
Angelrape channels black and thrash metal from Lidköping on Lake Vänern since 2022. Their blasphemous name drives compositions of sacrilegious aggression from this western Swedish lakeside town.
Angelreich has delivered metalcore from Piła in Greater Poland since 1999, over a quarter century of activity that makes them one of Poland's longest-running metalcore acts. Their Germanic-angelic name brings a Central European identity to a style more commonly associated with American origins.
Martins Ferry, Ohio thrash metal act operating from the state's eastern edge along the Ohio River. A contribution to the Rust Belt's heavy metal tradition from one of its most economically battered corners.
Angels Grace explores progressive metal from La Spezia, the Ligurian naval port, since 2017. Their name's juxtaposition of divine mercy with progressive metal's complexity creates compositions that balance the ethereal with the technical.
Denver power metal project from the Colorado underground.
New Jersey black/death metal outfit who dropped two EPs in 2020 — Hate Fueled Death Ritual and The Unholy Division. The name is a mission statement: angelic imagery torn apart by extreme metal ferocity.
Gallup thrash metal project from the New Mexico underground.
Angelus is a heavy metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2013, working within the traditional heavy metal framework in Germany's capital city. The band contributes to Berlin's eclectic metal scene with their take on classic heavy metal.
