Pontarlier, FR · 2018–present · active
Assigned Fate delivers death metal and groove metal from the Jura mountain town of Pontarlier since 2018, their predestination-themed name reflecting the inevitability of their crushing sound. Their remote origins near the Swiss border lend genuine isolation to their extreme metal.
Gütersloh, DE · 2005–present · active
Assignment is a band from Gutersloh, Germany, active since 2005, whose sound evolved from early death and thrash metal roots into a progressive power metal direction. This stylistic transformation reflects an ambitious musical trajectory that expanded the band's scope from raw aggression into more complex and melodic territory.
Budapest, HU · 2025–present · active
With a name that reads like a medical textbook entry from another dimension, Assimilated Transdimensionalization delivers brutal death metal from Budapest as of 2025. Their commitment to absurdly lengthy nomenclature is matched by their commitment to grinding, guttural extremity.
Freiburg im Breisgau, DE · 2009–present · active
Assorted Nails is a death metal band from Freiburg, Germany, established in 2001, self-described as representing the second wave of death metal with a diversified, idiosyncratic twist on the genre. Their releases, including War Death Destruction and Chocolate, the Kana Rengashaarniskassa EP, and Zoophisticated, are released under Creative Commons licensing, reflecting an unconventional approach to both their music and its distribution.
Breda, ES · 2012–present · active
Assot delivers death metal from the Catalan town of Breda, deep in the Selva comarca's forested landscape, since 2012. Their sound draws from the isolation of rural Catalonia to create punishing extreme metal.
Palermo, IT · 2012–present · active
Assumption has crafted doom and death metal from Palermo since 2012, over a decade of crushing heaviness from the Sicilian capital. Their religious name — evoking ascension to heaven — creates an ironic counterpoint to their earthbound, weight-of-the-world sound.
