Abhorvm fuses black and death metal from Scotland since 2025, their deliberately archaic spelling adding ancient weight to their modern extremity. The project represents the newest generation of Scottish extreme metal.
Abhoth creates atmospheric death metal from Podgorica, the Montenegrin capital, since 2017. Named after the Lovecraftian entity 'Source of Uncleanliness,' they channel cosmic horror from the Balkans into suffocating, atmosphere-laden death metal.
A black metal project from Zwickau, Germany, Abiarthar emerged in 2020 channeling the atmospheric and raw currents of the genre. The project takes its name from the biblical high priest, weaving spiritual and historical themes into its dark sonic palette.
Abigail thrashes from Grabenstetten on the Swabian Alb in Baden-Württemberg, having originally formed in 1999. Their longevity from this small Alb village speaks to an unwavering commitment to thrash metal's relentless energy.
Abigeatum creates death and doom metal from Florence since 2020, their Latin name referring to cattle theft — a crime taken seriously enough in Roman law to warrant its own legal category. From the cradle of the Renaissance, they craft music of patient, crushing deliberation.
Abighor channels power and speed metal from Bologna since 2017, combining the anthemic grandeur of power metal with speed metal's relentless velocity. Their demonic name adds a dark edge to the triumphant melodicism of their Emilian sound.
Vienna's Abigor formed in 1993 and have grown into one of Austria's most respected and enduring black metal acts, known for fusing ferocious early-second-wave fury with increasingly avant-garde experimentation. Their catalog spans from the foundational 1995 album Nachthymnen (From the Twilight Kingdom) through avant-garde milestones like Fractal Possession (2007) to the conceptually dense Taphonomia Aeternitatis, building a body of work with over three million streams on Last.fm.
Abigorum blends black metal, doom metal, and ambient from Saint Petersburg before relocating to Batumi, Georgia, active since 2012. Their multi-genre, multinational journey has produced atmospheric works that transcend geographic boundaries.
Folk metal band from Luzern, Switzerland, who released five albums between 2009 and 2018—including "Hörensagen," "Versteckte Pfade," "Handgeschrieben," "Wegweiser," and "Weltenwanderer"—before going inactive. Their music incorporated German-language lyrics and Central European folk elements into a melodic metal framework.
