Agonize are a Tuzla-based black/death metal band who incorporate melodic black metal into their framework, drawing on the twin lineages of Scandinavian melodic black and the rawer Eastern European underground.

Agoria blends black and doom metal from Riihimäki since 2011, creating compositions that shift between blast-beat fury and crushing slowness. Their dual-genre approach spans the extremes of tempo within Finnish underground metal.

Agrypnie are a post-black metal and avant-garde metal band from the Groß-Gerau area of Germany, active since 2006, whose name references the medical condition of persistent sleeplessness.
