Rome's Serpent Ritual blend black and death metal with occult ceremony since 2018. Their ritualistic name matches a sound that channels esoteric themes through the genre's most transgressive traditions.
Kansas City's Serpent Sceptre arrived in 2024 with a blackened death metal approach, combining the ferocity of death metal with the cold, malevolent atmosphere of black metal in a city with a quietly growing extreme metal underground.
Moscow's Serpent Sermon merge black, death, and symphonic metal from the Russian capital since 2020. Their ophidian-homily name channels the serpent's teaching into multi-genre compositions of capital-city darkness.
Los Angeles death/thrash outfit Serpentance formed in 2019 and channel the old-school ferocity of both genres — tightly wound riffs, barked vocals, and the kind of no-frills brutality that keeps the Southern California underground honest.
Out of Arbuckle in rural Northern California, Serpentera have been delivering death/thrash metal since 2018 — a two-genre hybrid that puts the pedal down on aggression and channels the raw energy of both traditions into a compact, punishing sound.
Serpentine Dominion is an American death metal supergroup formed in 2009 by Killswitch Engage lead guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, Cannibal Corpse vocalist George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher, and former The Black Dahlia Murder drummer Shannon Lucas. The project originated when Dutkiewicz composed material specifically tailored to Fisher's vocal style, with lyrics written by Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach. The band released their sole self-titled album in October 2016 through Metal Blade Records, a record that balanced Fisher's brutal death metal delivery with Dutkiewicz's trademark melodic and groove-driven riffing.
Serpentine Path is a doom and death metal band formed in New York in 2011, built around all three members of the cult doom act Unearthly Trance together with Tim Bagshaw, a founding member of Electric Wizard and Ramesses, and later augmented by Stephen Flam of New York doom-death legends Winter. The project's sound leaned toward a slow, crushing death-doom approach heavier and more deliberate than any of the members' previous bands. The band released a self-titled debut in 2012 and followed with Emanations in 2014 before going on hiatus in 2016, with Bagshaw shifting focus to With the Dead.
Serpentrance merge black, death, and doom metal from an undisclosed Russian location since 2014. Their serpent-trance name channels hypnotic ophidian states into multi-genre compositions of immersive, anonymous heaviness.
Spokane, Washington's Serpentspire have been one of the Pacific Northwest's most technically demanding death metal outfits since 2016, building elaborate, riff-dense compositions that push technical death metal into labyrinthine territory.
