Thessaloniki's Agnes Vein are Greek underground legends who fuse epic doom with Hellenic black metal, drawing from influences spanning Bathory to Primordial to Sunn O))).

Agnikrit practices pagan black metal from Saint Petersburg since 2018. Their Sanskrit-derived name — combining fire and a creative act — brings Hindu-Vedic mythological elements to pagan metal from Russia's imperial city.
Agnosy merges crust punk with death metal from London since 2011, creating a volatile crossover that bridges the English capital's punk and metal undergrounds. Their agnosticism-inspired name reflects a questioning approach to sonic conventions.

Agnus Dei are a symphonic doom metal band from Pilsen, Czech Republic, originally formed in 1993 and revived in 2017, whose early demo "Garden of Sorrow" (1995) and soundtrack contribution "Tam Dole" (1997) placed them among the first Czech acts to combine doom metal with orchestral elements. The band appeared on the Breath of Doom compilation in 1997 and performed at the Dynamo Festival in Plzeň.

Hailing from Córdoba, Ago delivers stripped-down heavy metal informed by Andalusian grit and a no-frills approach to classic riffing. Formed in 2020, the band channels traditional metal energy through a distinctly southern Spanish lens.
Athens-area Agodea deliver melodic death metal with emotional intensity, blending Scandinavian-influenced guitar harmonies with Mediterranean passion and modern production values. Since 2017, they've built a growing presence in the Greek melodeath scene.
Agone channels death metal from the remote Breton fishing town of Audierne since 2020, proving that extreme music thrives even at Finistère's wind-battered western tip. Their isolated origins lend genuine rawness to their sound.
