Sincreation deliver melodic death metal from Kouvola, combining the Scandinavian melodeath tradition with their own southeastern Finnish character. Active since 2016, they bring sinful creation to the Kymenlaakso metal scene.
Salt Lake City's Sindar are an ambitious multi-genre project formed in 2020 that moves fluidly across progressive metal, post-black metal, and death metal — a combination that reflects both the genre-blurring ambitions of the modern extreme metal underground and a name drawn from Tolkien's Grey Elves. Their breadth of influence makes them one of the more intellectually restless acts in the Utah scene.
Sindeep blend symphonic and melodic death metal from Helsinki, layering orchestral arrangements over aggressive melodeath frameworks. Formed in 2020, they bring deep-sinning grandeur to the Finnish capital's extreme scene.
Sindread deliver melodic death metal from the rural northeastern Finnish communities of Nilsia, Siilinjarvi, and Rautavaara, combining Scandinavian melodeath with backcountry Finnish intensity. Active since 2018, they bring Savo-region dread to the melodeath tradition.
Sine Anima ("Without Soul" in Latin) forge gothic, doom, and death metal from Murcia, blending dark romanticism with crushing extremity. Active since 2014, they bring soulless darkness to the southeastern Spanish scene.
Sinetrium play melodic death metal from Pilsen, combining Scandinavian-influenced melodeath riffing with Czech compositional sensibility. Their western Bohemian origins connect them to a city with a growing reputation for quality extreme metal.
Denver death/thrash outfit formed in 2014, Sineus grind out punishing riffs rooted in the old-school death metal tradition while keeping a frantic thrash energy at the core of their attack. Their Colorado front range scene upbringing gives them a gruff, no-frills approach that values aggression over polish.
Sinful Earth play melodic death metal from Bochum, combining Scandinavian melodeath influences with the gritty energy of the Ruhr Valley. Active since 2012, they've built a solid catalog of aggressive yet melodic extreme metal.
Tempe, Arizona's Singularity have built their sound around technical black/death metal since 2012, bringing a labyrinthine compositional density to the desert Southwest's extreme metal scene. Their work favors dissonant complexity and blasting intensity over accessibility, firmly in the tradition of technically demanding extreme metal.
