Absenth has navigated from melodic death and doom metal through industrial gothic to melodic metalcore from Voronezh since 2005. Two decades of stylistic reinvention from this Black Earth Region city speak to relentless creative restlessness.
Los Angeles death/doom project — distinct from the Chicago act. West Coast interpretation of the same absence-themed name.
Abside crafts progressive heavy and gothic metal from Conversano near Bari in Puglia since 2016. Their name, referencing the apse of a church, speaks to the architectural ambition of their compositions — sweeping, structured, and suffused with dark reverence.
A death metal band split between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, Absidia formed in 2020 and bring together musicians from two of Baden-Württemberg's major cities. Their approach to death metal reflects the collaborative energy of southwest Germany's growing extreme metal community.
Absinth thrashes from Bornheim near Bonn since 2016, named after the legendary green liquor that fueled bohemian artists and inspired hallucinations. Their Rhineland thrash carries the intoxicated abandon their absinthe namesake promises.
Absinthe channels death and thrash metal from the Île-de-France town of Limay since 2017, named after the notorious green spirit that fueled so much Parisian art. Their intoxicating name suits a sound that hits with hallucinatory intensity.
Athens' Absinthiana weave progressive metal complexity through compositions that shift between delicate passages and heavy, riff-driven sections with the intoxicating unpredictability their name suggests. Active since 2013, they draw from the full spectrum of progressive metal's possibilities.
Absinthropy channels black metal from the Warwickshire spa town of Royal Leamington Spa since 2012, their absinthe-misanthropy portmanteau name evoking intoxicated hatred. Over a decade of activity reflects deep commitment to extreme music from an unlikely English origin.
A black and funeral doom metal band from São Paulo active since 2004, whose name translates as "Without Faith." The project — centered on N. (Marcos Felinto Santos) on guitar, synth, violin, and vocals — weaves funeral doom heaviness with psychedelic and post-rock textures, releasing a self-titled album in 2012 and "O sol fulmina a terra" in 2016, and eventually breaking their no-live-show policy to perform at São Paulo's Let There Be Doom festival in 2013.
