Andavald emerged from Reykjavík in 2019 with a vision of black metal rooted in Iceland's extreme natural environment. Their atmospheric approach channels the desolation of volcanic wastelands and glacial valleys into compositions of stark, wind-carved beauty.
Andhrimnir channels black metal with Viking themes from Birmingham since 2021, named after the cook who feeds the warriors in Valhalla. Their Norse-mythological inspiration feeds compositions rooted in the warrior traditions of the Viking age.
Andracca channels black metal from Lancashire since 2018, their Old English name connecting them to Anglo-Saxon heritage. Their northwest English origins feed a sound steeped in the pre-Norman darkness of the region.
Andromalius merges black and death metal from Moscow since 2019. Named after a Great Earl of Hell who punishes thieves and returns stolen goods, they channel demonic justice through extreme metal from the Russian capital.
Andy Sacro creates industrial black metal from Zawadzkie in Opole Voivodeship since 2020. From this small Upper Silesian industrial town, they forge a mechanical, electronically enhanced strain of black metal.
Anemic Death channels black metal from Oulu as of 2025, their name evoking a weakened, bloodless form of mortality. From the subarctic Finnish city, they bring a pallid, ice-cold vision of black metal.
Anemye crafts atmospheric and post-black metal from Veliky Novgorod since 2022. Their name, suggesting anemia or weakness, brings a pallid fragility to atmospheric compositions from one of Russia's oldest cities.
Anesmwythder channels depressive black metal from Wales since 2014, their Welsh-language name meaning "restlessness" or "anxiety" connecting their DSBM to Wales's Celtic linguistic heritage. Over a decade of Welsh-language extreme metal reflects deep cultural commitment.
