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.
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.
Conroe, Texas outfit Sinister Minister push the boundaries of their namesake's approach with a thrash/death hybrid that incorporates the brutality of the Gulf Coast's extreme metal community since 2007. Their sound sits in the aggressive overlap between the two genres, reflecting the Houston area's history of producing some of the most uncompromising metal in the American South.
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.
