Lidköping, SE · 2022–present · active
Angelrape channels black and thrash metal from Lidköping on Lake Vänern since 2022. Their blasphemous name drives compositions of sacrilegious aggression from this western Swedish lakeside town.
Oberkotzau, DE · 2006–present · active
Angelus Mortis is a melodic death and black metal band from Oberkotzau near Hof in Bavaria, Germany, whose 2006 debut album Venerable Grey Epitaph spans nine tracks of metal that crosses between death, black, and thrash territories.

Kaunas, LT · 2017–present · active
Angis has transitioned from doom and death metal into pagan black metal from Kaunas since 2017. Their Lithuanian name meaning 'snake' threads through compositions that have shed their skin to reveal new stylistic forms.
Vienna, AT · 2017–present · active
Angor is a Vienna-based black/doom project whose recordings layer glacial, dirge-paced riffs over a bleak atmosphere shaped by early-Scandinavian black metal orthodoxy. Their music favours long-form compositions that unfold slowly, weaponising repetition and dissonance to cultivate a sense of spiritual desolation.
Rauma, FI · 2016–present · active
Angra Ahriman channels black metal from the western Finnish port city of Rauma since 2016. Their name doubles down on Zoroastrian evil, combining two names for the destructive spirit, and their sound delivers the concentrated darkness that redundancy implies.
DE · 2004–present · active
Angra Mainyu is a German black metal project active since 2004, named after the Zoroastrian spirit of destruction, whose German-language releases include Die kalte Dunkelheit, Nie zu brechen, and Versunkenheit. The project has also released a split with the influential depressive black metal act Xasthur, placing it within the atmospheric and melancholic end of the black metal spectrum.

please update this band
Toruń, PL · 2018–present · active
Angrrsth channels black metal from Toruń, the birthplace of Copernicus, since 2018. Their deliberately harsh, consonant-heavy name mirrors the abrasive quality of their black metal from this medieval Vistula River city.
Bavaria, DE · 2021–present · active
Angstkvlt is a Bavarian black metal duo formed in 2019 by Kvltist H. and Kvltist B., two musicians whose friendship spans over two decades before they began composing together.
