Aspaarn is a one-man raw black metal project from Lausanne, Switzerland, whose music shifts between ice-cold aggression and melancholic atmospheric passages rooted in nature and primordial history. The project's extensive catalog — including "Oblations in Atrocity," "When Iron Meant Survival," "Ancestral Genocides," and the EPs "Cataclysmic Eminences" and "Mørk Virvelvind" — stands among the more prolific efforts in the Swiss raw black metal underground.
Asphagor are a black metal band from the Tyrol region of Austria with over a decade of releases, including Havoc (2010), Anti (2013), The Cleansing (2018), and Pyrogenesis (2023), all leading toward the forthcoming The Aphotic Vortex via Immortal Frost Productions. Their sound is rooted in ferocious, relentless second-wave black metal with a Tyrolean contempt for compromise, characterised by incendiary tempos and an anti-human thematic core.
Asphodèle channels black metal from the French underground since 2013, named after the flower associated with death and the underworld in Greek mythology. Their botanical-funereal name suits the otherworldly atmosphere of their compositions.
Aspro Askari creates progressive black and death metal from Cologne since 2016. Their name, combining Greek and Swahili words, brings a multicultural edge to their progressive approach to extreme metal from the Rhine metropolis.
Ass Burners has been fusing black metal, death metal, and grindcore from Lille since 2003, their deliberately provocative name signaling a project that values transgression alongside extremity. Over two decades of genre-crossing mayhem from northern France reflect enduring commitment.
Assacrentis channels melodic black metal from Nice since 2004, contributing to the Côte d'Azur's surprisingly active extreme metal community for two decades. Their sacral-sounding name adds ceremonial weight to their Mediterranean black metal.
Assamalla is a black metal band from Parnu, Estonia, formed in 2013, channeling the genre's cold hostility from the coastal resort city on the Gulf of Riga. The band contributes to the small but passionate Estonian black metal underground.
Astagaad creates blackened death metal from Gävle since 2022. Their invented name drives compositions of combined extremity from this northern Swedish port city.
