Active since 2009 in Brest, Seviss has spent over a decade cultivating a harsh, frigid black metal sound shaped by Brittany's Atlantic storms and grey skies. Their catalog reflects the solitary, windblown character of France's westernmost peninsula.
Scorching Speed / Black Metal from Austin.
Sexlucifer forge black/thrash metal from the Finnish underground, combining blasphemous provocation with dual-genre aggression. Active since 2016, they bring infernal intensity to the Nordic black/thrash scene.
Sexorcism blast through speed metal, black metal, and punk from Baden-Wurttemberg, combining three of heavy music's most aggressive strains with tongue-in-cheek provocative imagery. Their genre-defying approach channels the chaotic spirit of early extreme metal crossovers.
Sexrex play black 'n' roll from Offenbach, fusing black metal's harsh aesthetics with the swaggering groove of rock 'n' roll. Their Frankfurt-adjacent base and irreverent name position them on the fun, riff-focused end of the black metal spectrum.
Tallahassee's Sexual Predator traffic in a chaotic convergence of black metal, death metal, and grindcore that resists easy categorization — raw and confrontational in all three modes at once. Formed in 2015 in Florida's fertile extreme music underground, they favor intensity and dissonance over any single style's rulebook.
Sezarbil are black metal veterans from Brno who have been active since 1997, making them one of the Czech Republic's longest-running black metal acts. Their decades of output have cemented their place in the foundations of the Moravian black metal underground.
Sezession practice black metal from Cologne, their name ("Secession") suggesting a deliberate break from convention. Active since 2011, they've been a steady presence in the Rhineland's black metal underground.
Sg.7 fuse synthwave with raw black metal from Tampere, creating an unlikely but compelling hybrid of electronic retro-futurism and extreme metal. Formed in 2019, they bring neon-lit darkness to the Pirkanmaa underground.
