Aberdar are a stoner metal band from Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose three-album discography — Kolos, The Cult of the Naked Snail, and THE SUN — moves through the hazy, riff-heavy tradition of desert and stoner rock. Their sound is built on downtuned, fuzz-soaked guitar work and a gravitational low-end that connects them to the European stoner metal scene's love of sustained heaviness.
Aberrancy has crafted stoner and sludge metal from Piła in Greater Poland since 1991, a remarkably early origin for a style that barely existed at the time. Over three decades, they have evolved alongside the genres they helped pioneer in the Polish underground.
Aberrant Construct is a brutal death metal and deathcore band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Their 2018 full-length "Silience" delivers seven tracks of pummeling, low-tuned extremity where brutal death metal meets deathcore ferocity.
Aberranthe is a melodic black/death metal band from Hermosillo, Mexico, formed in 2023. Their self-titled debut album, released in November 2023, blends symphonic black metal and death metal across six tracks, drawing lyrical inspiration from Lovecraftian mythology, Mexican folklore, and themes of social and human psychology.

Aberrated is a progressive thrash and death metal band from Long Island, New York. Though their released output consists of two singles, the band's technical approach to thrash and death metal marks them as part of Long Island's vibrant extreme metal scene.
Death metal band from Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, formed in 2018 and featuring a lineup of Yuri Almeida on drums, Júlio Cesar on guitar, David Andrade on vocals, and Nathan Franco on bass. They released a self-titled debut in 2016 and followed it with the full-length Thanatos in 2023, the latter produced with a music video for the track "Eviscerator." Their sound draws on traditional brutal death metal with lyrical themes spanning philosophy, history, and politics.
Black/death metal band from Ourinhos, São Paulo, formed in 2021 and representing the deep interior of the state's underground extreme metal scene. Little documented material exists beyond their Metal Archives registration, placing them squarely in the raw South American black and death metal tradition.
Aberrazione channels thrash and death metal from San Donà di Piave in the Venice metropolitan area since 2021. Their Italian name meaning 'aberration' captures the deviant energy they bring from the Veneto flatlands.
