Abigeatum creates death and doom metal from Florence since 2020, their Latin name referring to cattle theft — a crime taken seriously enough in Roman law to warrant its own legal category. From the cradle of the Renaissance, they craft music of patient, crushing deliberation.
Abighor channels power and speed metal from Bologna since 2017, combining the anthemic grandeur of power metal with speed metal's relentless velocity. Their demonic name adds a dark edge to the triumphant melodicism of their Emilian sound.
Vienna's Abigor formed in 1993 and have grown into one of Austria's most respected and enduring black metal acts, known for fusing ferocious early-second-wave fury with increasingly avant-garde experimentation. Their catalog spans from the foundational 1995 album Nachthymnen (From the Twilight Kingdom) through avant-garde milestones like Fractal Possession (2007) to the conceptually dense Taphonomia Aeternitatis, building a body of work with over three million streams on Last.fm.
Abigorum blends black metal, doom metal, and ambient from Saint Petersburg before relocating to Batumi, Georgia, active since 2012. Their multi-genre, multinational journey has produced atmospheric works that transcend geographic boundaries.
Folk metal band from Luzern, Switzerland, who released five albums between 2009 and 2018—including "Hörensagen," "Versteckte Pfade," "Handgeschrieben," "Wegweiser," and "Weltenwanderer"—before going inactive. Their music incorporated German-language lyrics and Central European folk elements into a melodic metal framework.
Abiogenesis is a heavy metal band from Concepción, Chile, whose sound blends traditional heavy metal with hard rock, technical metal, and jazz-influenced passages. Their album "Eternos Laberintos" (2025) was recorded at El Cuartel del Músico in Concepción, produced by guitarist Eduardo Martínez alongside the band, and mixed and mastered by César González. The record is a conceptual work exploring the mental, emotional, and physical states of the human experience.
Abiosis creates gothic metal from Zwickau in Saxony since 2014, named after the absence of life. From the east German city once known for its Trabant automobile production, they craft darkly atmospheric compositions.
Abiotic is a progressive deathcore and technical death metal band from Miami, Florida. With two full-lengths — 2012's "Symbiosis" and 2015's "Casuistry" — the band carved out a reputation for blending shredding technicality with the crushing weight of deathcore, earning a following in the Florida extreme metal scene.
Heavy metal and punk band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, formed in 2012 and representing the northeast Brazilian underground scene. The band blended metallic riffing with punk energy in a region not traditionally known for a large extreme metal presence, though they have since split up and left minimal documented releases.
