Abysmal Dissonance are a death metal band from the Linz-Land district of Upper Austria with a raw, grinding approach evident in track titles like 'Life Termination,' 'The Chainsaw,' and 'Impending Doom.' The band operates deep in the underground with minimal public profile, releasing their material through their own Bandcamp page.
Abysmal Forest is a black metal band from Lavras, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with a history stretching back to 1995. The band released the demo 'Para sempre... reinarás' in 2002 and the CD/DVD 'Tributo aos Irmãos' in 2008, operating as an independent underground act within the Brazilian black metal tradition — not to be confused with the separate Abysmal Forest from Teresina.
Abysmal Growls of Despair delivers some of France's most crushing funeral doom and drone metal from Toulouse since 2013, creating compositions of glacial pace and suffocating atmosphere. Their descriptive name leaves nothing to the imagination about the depths of desolation their music explores.
New Orleans death metal project. Crescent City extremity ruling from the deepest darkness of the NOLA underground.
Abysmal Piss is a brutal death metal and goregrind act from Ceres, California. With a 2018 demo and a 2019 promo, the band delivers the kind of guttural, low-budget extremity that thrives in the goregrind underground.
Abysmal Rites conjures doom and sludge metal from Tampere since 2022, channeling the weight of Finland's heaviest traditions into ritualistic compositions. Their approach to the low-and-slow end of the spectrum draws from the region's deep doom metal legacy.
Abysmal Serpent is a raw black metal project from Tuusula, emerging in 2025 with the lo-fi ferocity that defines the genre's most unpolished expressions. The project embraces black metal's most primitive aesthetic from the heart of southern Finland.
Abysmal Spectre merges black metal, death metal, and progressive metal from the East Anglian city of Norwich since 2018, creating a sophisticated hybrid of extreme styles. Their phantasmal name evokes the ghostly depths their compositions explore.
Abysmal Torment has delivered brutal death metal from Birkirkara in Malta since 2014, establishing themselves as one of the island nation's most internationally recognized extreme metal acts. Their decade-plus body of work brings punishing brutality from a country smaller than most European cities.
