A Total Wall merges industrial, groove, and death metal from the Milan and Varese area since 2010. Their name evokes an impenetrable sonic barrier, which their genre-blending approach constructs through mechanical rhythms and crushing low-end.
A Tree of Signs merges doom metal with psychedelic rock from Lisbon since 2012. Their symbolic-arboreal name guides compositions that grow branches of meaning through patient, deliberate heaviness from the Portuguese capital.
A Very Old Ghost Behind the Farm creates sludge and doom metal from Toulouse in southwestern France since 2010. Their elaborate, narrative name — suggesting rural Gothic horror — informs compositions of crushing, slow-motion dread from the Pink City.
A Vintage Death crafts blackened doom and death metal from Ortona in Chieti province on the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo since 2018. Their oxymoronic name pairs aged refinement with mortality, a tension their darkly atmospheric compositions explore.
A Virgin Burial has delivered metalcore from the Adriatic resort city of Rimini since 2014. Far from the beach-holiday associations of their hometown, their sound channels aggressive breakdowns and emotional intensity through hardcore-influenced metal.
Thessaloniki's A Void Eternal merge doom and gothic metal into sorrowful, atmospheric compositions draped in melancholy and darkness. Since 2018, they've crafted a sound that balances crushing weight with haunting beauty, drawing from the European gothic-doom tradition.
A Written Apology has been delivering metalcore from the Scottish city of Dundee since 2004, making them one of Scotland's longest-running metalcore acts. Over two decades of activity speak to remarkable persistence in the Tayside metal scene.
