Thessaloniki's Astar have been delivering no-nonsense heavy metal since 2011, building a catalogue of riff-driven songs that honour the genre's timeless traditions. Their straightforward approach reflects a commitment to the fundamentals of heavy metal.
please update this band
Astarot plays heavy and thrash metal from Rzeszów since 2011. Named after the demon Astaroth, they channel infernal energy through the classic dual format of heavy and thrash metal from the Subcarpathian capital.
Warminster's Astarothica conjure occult black metal steeped in eerie atmospherics and ritualistic intensity. Formed in 2023, the project channels dark mysticism through raw, lo-fi compositions that evoke dread and otherworldly menace.
Asteden channels black metal from Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland since 2018, drawing from the extreme darkness of the polar winter. Their Arctic location infuses their sound with a genuine coldness that many black metal acts can only simulate.
Astel Oscora channels atmospheric black metal from Moscow since 2010. Over fifteen years of activity, their evocative name has guided compositions of dark atmospheric beauty from the Russian capital.
Thessaloniki's Astenia channel exhaustion and depletion (their name is Greek for 'weakness') into furious thrash metal that contradicts their moniker with relentless energy. Active since 2012, they've been a persistent force in the northern Greek thrash scene.
Asterise delivers power metal from an undisclosed Polish location since 2022. Their celestial name — suggesting a star-like entity — drives anthemic compositions of melodic power and ambition.
Asterium has been fusing death and thrash metal from the medieval Catalan town of Castelló d'Empúries since 2011. Their dual-genre approach brings both technical ferocity and velocity to the Alt Empordà's metal scene.
