Trentino-South Tyrol, IT · 2023–present · active
Aasar fuses blackened death metal with deathcore from the Trentino-South Tyrol region, where Alpine culture meets Italian identity, since 2023. Their mountain-born aggression carries the weight of the Dolomites through punishing breakdowns and tremolo fury.
Molenbeersel, BE · 2014–present · active

Linz, AT · 2017–present · active
Abaddon Codex are a symphonic death metal band from Linz who blend crushing death metal with orchestral arrangements.

Moscow, RU · 2012–present · active

Dublin, IE · 2022–present · active
A veteran presence in Dublin's extreme scene since their original founding in the early 1990s (reformed 2022), Abaddon Incarnate traversed from black and death metal into full-bore grindcore over their career.

Abandon the Weak delivers death metal and deathcore from the Plymouth and Tavistock area since 2017, channeling Devon's rugged Dartmoor landscape into crushing extremity. Their Darwinian name suits a sound that demands the strongest survive.
Hagen, DE · active
Abandoned are a death metal band from Hagen, Germany, operating in the long shadow of the Ruhr Valley's industrial metal tradition. Their sound carries the grim weight and rhythmic intensity characteristic of the German death metal underground.
Milan, IT · 2024–present · active
Abandoned Crypts emerged from Milan in 2024 with a wild genre-mixing approach that spans black metal, death metal, punk, and dungeon synth. This stylistic restlessness captures the creative energy of the Lombard capital's underground, where convention is treated as optional.
