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.
Tolyatti's Shadar Logoth practice black metal named for the Wheel of Time cursed city since 2006. Two decades from Russia's automotive capital channel literary-fantasy darkness into atmospheric compositions.
Shaddai have been practicing black metal from Montreux since 1999, making them one of the longer-running acts in the Swiss black metal underground. Their decades of activity have produced a body of work steeped in darkness and the cold tradition of European black metal.
Umea's Shade of Black practice black metal from the northern Swedish university city since 2011. Over a decade from the Vasterbotten capital, their tonal-darkness name has shaped atmospheric compositions.
Shades of Extinction practice black metal from an undisclosed Slovak location since 2023. Their name of varied dying-out channels the multiple colors of annihilation into compositions of anonymous atmospheric darkness.
Black metal band from Marília, São Paulo, active since 2000, built around the core of Lord Sabbaoth on vocals, Blasphemia Rakshasa on guitar, and Agressos Dirae on drums. The band operates independently and released a self-titled album on May 29, 2014, with lyrical themes centered on Satanism.
