Omaha, Nebraska's Sinne emerged in 2022 playing speed/black metal with a punk backbone, combining the reckless velocity of first-wave black metal with the rawness of '80s hardcore and the Midwestern underground's DIY ethos.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Sinner have operated in the hard rock and heavy metal space since 2003, drawing on the hook-heavy, leather-and-chrome tradition of classic American heavy metal with a workmanlike Midwestern directness.
A Pennsylvania black metal act that materialized in 2022, Sinnihte pursues a stripped-down, orthodox approach to the genre, favoring cold atmosphere and uncompromising rawness over production sheen or modern embellishment.

A Minneapolis, Minnesota black metal outfit formed in 2024, Sinstate brings the stark, cold traditions of the genre to the Twin Cities underground, a brand-new project developing its voice within Minnesota's quietly strong extreme metal scene.
Sintech forge industrial black metal from Neustadt bei Coburg in Upper Franconia, fusing the cold atmospheres of black metal with mechanical, electronic textures. Active since 2003, they've spent over two decades at the intersection of these two extreme forms.
Sinvision blend black metal with punk from the Oulu suburb of Kempele, creating a raw hybrid that channels both genres' DIY aggression. Active since 2015, they bring cross-genre vision to the Ostrobothnia underground.
Modesto, California's Siom have been working in raw black metal since 2015, producing intentionally lo-fi, caustic material that prioritizes atmosphere and malevolence over any concession to modern production standards.
