Kadikoy's Sarinvomit pair black and death metal from the Asian-side Istanbul district since 2013. Their chemical-weapon-emetic name channels the horror of nerve-agent warfare into over a decade of dual-genre compositions from the Anatolian shore of the Bosphorus.
Sarkasm practice black metal from the Breton capital of Rennes, channeling dark sarcasm through extreme compositions. Formed in 2021, they bring sardonic intensity to the Brittany underground.
Lawrence, Kansas's Sarkatha arrived in 2023 with a speed/thrash/black metal hybrid that pulls the Great Plains' wide-open emptiness into genuinely ferocious music. They operate in a college town with a surprisingly deep underground tradition, channeling that energy into a sound that refuses to pick just one lane between black metal's cold fury and thrash's kinetic aggression.
Sarkrista practice black metal from Schleswig in Germany's far north, channeling the genre's icy atmospheres from a region closer to Scandinavia than to the rest of Germany. Their northern location naturally informs their cold, aggressive sound.
Sarnath channel black metal from Solothurn, drawing their name and thematic inspiration from Lovecraftian mythology. Their approach to the genre favors atmospheric menace and cosmic dread over sheer velocity.

Austin's Sarpa have been pursuing black/death metal since 2020, bringing the Texas capital's increasingly dense extreme metal underground another entry in the serpentine tradition the band's name invokes. Their sound moves with the coiled aggression of the subgenre's finest work — death metal's weight carrying the black metal's atmosphere rather than the other way around.
Yekaterinburg's Sarpentra merge black, death, and melodic death metal from the Ural capital since 2013. Their serpentine name and gateway-to-Asia origins channel ophidian darkness into multi-genre compositions.
Sarvekas practice black metal from the Salo/Sauvo area of southwestern Finland, channeling the genre's dark fury from the Varsinais-Suomi countryside. Active since 2018, they've earned recognition in the Finnish black metal underground.
