Anfel creates symphonic gothic and doom metal from Tver since 2009. Over fifteen years from this historic city between Moscow and Saint Petersburg, they have crafted orchestrally enriched compositions of dark romanticism.
A doom/sludge/drone trio from Liège whose name derives from the Inuit word for shaman, reflecting the band's interest in ritualistic and shamanic sonic spaces. After a 2012 EP, they released a self-titled debut album in May 2015 via Satanath Records, recorded at Noise Factory Studio by Gérald Jans, described as a fat, aggressive ride through dark and shamanic places.
Angel of Nature channels doom and black metal from Poltava since 2010. Their paradoxical name — a celestial being of the natural world — drives fifteen years of compositions that explore the divine within wilderness.
Angellore has been crafting atmospheric doom metal from Avignon since 2007, combining death growls, clean singing, and baritone vocals with violin and acoustic guitar. Albums like "Errances" and "La Litanie des Cendres" have earned them recognition as one of France's finest doom acts, with their upcoming "Nocturnes" on Ardua Music continuing their tradition of melancholic grandeur.
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.
Angizia are a long-running Viennese avant-garde ensemble who blend doom, gothic, and symphonic metal with chamber music and Expressionist literary themes. Albums such as Das Schachbrett des Trommelbuben Zacharias and Das Tagebuch der Hanna Anikin are full-length conceptual works that function almost as dark operettas, using strings, piano, and sung German narrative to tell bleak, Kafkaesque stories.
Angmodnes channels funeral doom metal from Utrecht since 2022. Their Old English name meaning 'anxiety' or 'anguish' guides glacially paced compositions of profound emotional weight from the Dutch cathedral city.
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.
Angurth crafts atmospheric black and doom metal from Volgograd since 2022. From the city formerly known as Stalingrad — site of the WWII battle that changed history — they create compositions of vast, solemn weight.
