Anima Tempest channels gothic and doom metal from Moscow since 2022. Their Latin name meaning 'soul storm' drives compositions of tempestuous dark romanticism from the Russian capital.
Animal Farm delivers technical thrash metal with crossover elements from Naples since 2013, their Orwellian name adding political subtext to their precise, high-speed approach. From southern Italy's chaotic metropolis, they bring sardonic social commentary through thrash.
Animal House plays power metal from the Gorizia area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia since 2014, their irreverent name contrasting with the disciplined melodicism power metal demands. From Italy's Slovenian borderland, they forge anthemic metal with northeastern vigor.
Athens' Animal Man Machine explore the boundaries of black metal through a conceptual lens examining the relationship between the bestial, the human, and the mechanical. Since 2020, this project has pushed the genre into uncomfortable philosophical territory.

Animals Grace is a death metal band from Munster, Germany, formed in 2014, delivering the genre's characteristic brutality from the heart of Westphalia. The band contributes to Munster's active underground metal scene with their aggressive approach to death metal.
Animamortua plays heavy and thrash metal from Malta since 2017, their Latin name meaning 'dead soul' adding classical gravity to their Mediterranean island metal. From the smallest EU member state, they punch above their weight in heavy metal power.
Animate Death creates death metal from Koszalin on the Pomeranian coast since 2022. Their paradoxical name — bringing death to life — drives compositions that reanimate the genre's most violent impulses.
Animator has thrashed out of Waterford — Ireland's oldest city — since 2010, bringing speed and aggression from the sunny southeast coast. Their high-energy approach to thrash metal has earned them a devoted following within Ireland's touring circuit.
