Animorph delivers symphonic metal from Saint Petersburg since 2024. Their shape-shifting name — evoking the popular science-fiction series — drives orchestrally enhanced compositions of transformative power from Russia's imperial city.
One of Hungary's longest-running extreme metal acts, Ankh has operated since 1994 from the historic town of Tata, blending symphonic arrangements with melodic death metal and folk instrumentation.

Annatar crafts symphonic metal from Delft since 2022, named after Sauron's fair disguise in Tolkien's legendarium. From the city of Vermeer, they weave orchestral deception through compositions that mask darkness beneath beauty.

Sharing their name with the legendary Nantes symphonic black metal act of the 1990s, this incarnation of Anorexia Nervosa has been carrying the banner from 2015 onward. Their multi-genre blend of black, death, industrial, and symphonic metal continues the tradition of boundary-pushing extreme music from the Loire-Atlantique capital.
Antalgia was born from guitarist Igna Jover's progressive ambitions in Lleida in late 2008, evolving from a metal cover band into a fully original symphonic prog-metal project. Albums like "Perception of Reality" and "Twisted Dreams of Dark Commander" showcase increasingly polished compositions mastered at Finland's legendary Finnvox Studios.
