Old-school thrash in the Kreator/Slayer vein, formed in 2008. Invited to play Inferno Festival in Oslo off the strength of their early demos.
Aggression Core is a thrash metal band from Seattle, Washington. Their 1995 EP "Dead God" is a six-track relic of the mid-90s Pacific Northwest thrash underground, predating the era when grunge had all but eclipsed metal in the region.
Aggressive Crucifixion is a one-man thrash and heavy metal project based in Mexico City, formed in 2022. The project draws heavily from classic acts including Exciter, Venom, Judas Priest, Motörhead, and Manowar, channeling the raw energy of early speed and heavy metal into its solo-produced output.
Aggressor is a thrash metal band from Boston, Massachusetts. Their 2018 demo captures three tracks of raw, unpolished thrash from the New England underground.

Aghartha is a post-black metal band split between Evansville, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky. With six releases between 2016 and 2023 — including the full-lengths "Oceanic Womb" and "Avian" — the band crafts atmospheric, nature-influenced post-black metal from the Ohio River Valley.
Aghast is a death metal band from New York City. With five releases in 2020 alone — including remastered versions of earlier material — the project delivered a concentrated burst of death metal output.
