Tolyatti's Singulus deliver death metal from Russia's automotive capital since 2021. Their Latin name meaning "single" channels isolated focus into compositions of extremity from the Volga bend.
Colorado Springs death metal veterans Sinister Creed have been active since 2000, making them one of the longer-tenured acts in the Colorado extreme metal underground, delivering a brand of death metal that trades in punishing grooves and downtuned brutality cultivated over more than two decades. Their longevity in the scene speaks to a steadfast commitment to straightforward, unembellished death metal.
Vologda's Sinister Void pair death and thrash metal from the northern Russian city since 2024. Their malevolent-emptiness name channels the void of existence into compositions of dual-genre aggression from the Russian north.
Elizabethtown, Kentucky death/thrash act Sinistrum formed in 2022, fusing the clinical brutality of death metal with thrash's driving momentum in a small-town Kentucky underground that punches well above its size. Their style reflects a reverence for the classic hybrid sounds of bands like Sepultura and early Death filtered through a contemporary American perspective.
Los Angeles-based Sink Shower have been carving their niche in the city's extreme metal underground since 2018, combining black metal's abrasive atmosphere and tremolo intensity with the brute physicality of death metal in a way that feels cold and urban rather than pastoral. Their music reflects the disorienting density and alienation of Southern California's sprawling megalopolis.
Marysville, Washington's Sins of a Bullet have been playing death metal since 2012, working within the genre's Pacific Northwest tradition of heavy, technically grounded brutality drawn from the region's long extreme metal lineage.

A California progressive death metal project formed in 2024, Sinthetik Sentienz blends the harmonic complexity and compositional ambition of progressive metal with the brutality and technical demands of modern death metal.
