Accabadora creates doom and sludge metal from the Netherlands as of 2026, sharing the Sardinian death-figure name with an Italian black metal act. Their Dutch interpretation of this traditional euthanasia figure brings crushing, deliberately paced heaviness.
Acher are a black metal, doom, and post-metal band from Würzburg, Germany, active since 2008, who blur the boundaries between these heavy genres. Their multi-faceted approach reflects the creative restlessness of Franconia's underground scene, where traditional heaviness meets avant-garde experimentation.
Achsar has evolved from doom metal into melodic folk, death, and black metal from Levice in the Hron Valley since 2014. Their stylistic expansion over a decade mirrors a journey from monolithic heaviness to folk-enriched melodic extremity.
Acid Arno delivers stoner, drone, and doom metal from Berlin since 2024, channeling the German capital's experimental music legacy into crushing, psychedelic heaviness. Their irreverent name pairs chemical corrosion with casual familiarity.
Acid Cøma channels drone, doom, and sludge metal from Vladivostok since 2014. From Russia's Pacific port — closer to Tokyo than to Moscow — they craft hallucinogenic heaviness influenced by their Far Eastern geography.
Acid Goat channels doom and stoner metal from Birmingham since 2014, bringing psychedelic heaviness to the birthplace of the genre. Their irreverent name and Second City origins connect them directly to the tradition of Black Sabbath.
Acid Hammer delivers doom and stoner metal from Amsterdam as of 2025. Their corrosive-tool name drives compositions of psychedelic heaviness from the Dutch capital.
Athens' Acid Mammoth are one of Greece's premier doom-stoner acts, crushing listeners under mammoth-sized fuzz riffs and Black Sabbath-worshipping heaviness on albums like 'Under Acid Hoof' and 'Supersonic Megafauna Collision' for Heavy Psych Sounds. Founded by father-and-son guitarists Chris Babalis Sr. and Jr., the band's family bond fuels a uniquely cohesive and devastating wall of sound.
Acid Mantra combines heavy and doom metal from Campagnola Emilia in the Reggio Emilia province since 2021. Their name suggests a ritualistic repetition of corrosive riffs, which their Emilian compositions deliver with hypnotic deliberation.
