As Autumn Dies... are a doom/death metal band from Switzerland, formed in 2001, whose sound combines the crushing weight of death metal with the slow, mournful tempos of doom.

Moscow, RU · 2013–present · active
As Death Lingers delivers metalcore and melodic death metal from Moscow since 2013. Their morbid-persistence name drives over a decade of compositions that explore death's patient, hovering presence.
Nottingham, England, GB · 2014–present · active
As December Falls make independent pop punk with arena-sized hooks and a sharp, modern rock finish. The band's songs are driven by Bethany Hunter Jimenez's bright, forceful vocals, fast guitar motion, and choruses that favor instant lift over subtlety. Early records leaned into classic emo-pop urgency, while Happier., Join the Club, and Everything's On Fire But I'm Fine widened the palette with heavier riffs, bigger production, and lyrics that move through anxiety, defiance, relationship fallout, and the absurdity of keeping it together under pressure. Their independence is not just a career note; it shapes the music's energy, giving the catalog a scrappy, fan-built intensity even when the hooks are polished. The band writes for rooms where every chorus is meant to be shouted back, but the arrangements still keep guitars and drums in the foreground. At their strongest, As December Falls capture the sweet spot between 2000s pop punk velocity, contemporary alternative rock gloss, and the emotional bite of emo.
Vriezenveen, NL · 2017–present · active
As Empires Fall blends melodic death metal with metalcore from Vriezenveen in Overijssel since 2017. Their civilizational-collapse name drives compositions that pair Scandinavian melodicism with hardcore dynamics from this small Twente town.
High Wycombe, GB · 2013–present · active
Emerging from High Wycombe, England, As Everything Unfolds have established themselves as rising stars in the UK rock scene with vocalist Charlie Rolfe's dynamic range drawing comparisons to Hayley Williams and Amy Lee. Their 2021 debut 'Within Each Lies The Other' and follow-up 'Ultraviolet' blend alternative rock, post-hardcore, and metalcore into an emotionally charged package. A signing to Century Media Records in 2025 signaled their arrival as a major force in modern heavy music.
Athens, GR · 2017–present · active

Bremen, DE · 2017–present · active

Sosnowiec, PL · 2022–present · active
As I Die crafts melodic death and doom metal from Sosnowiec in the Silesian conurbation since 2022. Their existential name drives compositions that pair Swedish-style melodic death with the ponderous weight of doom.
Thessaloniki, GR · 2013–present · active
