Symphonic black/death metal band from Lucerne, Switzerland, whose 2019 concept album "Gate Into the Abyss" is built around Greek mythology—specifically the Promethean narrative of divine rebellion, human liberation, and descent into the underworld. The nine-track record follows a protagonist journeying through Hades and Tartarus guided by the prophet Teiresias, and was self-released for 20 CHF.
Acheronte practices black metal from San Benedetto del Tronto on the southern Marche coast since 2010, named after the River Acheron of Greek underworld mythology. Their infernal-river identity infuses a classically rooted darkness into their Adriatic-coast black metal.
Acherontia is a sludge and stoner metal band from L'Hospitalet de Llobregat near Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2012, featuring Rico on guitar and vocals, Rayo on bass and vocals, Jose on lead guitar, and Josep on drums.

Achlyphos is a black metal project from Santa Rosa, California. Their 2020 full-length "Into Interdimensional Slumber Of Frozen Decay" delivers seven tracks of frigid, otherworldly black metal steeped in cosmic horror.
Ohio black metal project named after the Greek goddess of death mist. Atmospheric obscurity from the Buckeye State.
