Silver Skull channels the spirit of classic heavy metal and hard rock from Marseille, having formed in 2021. Their riff-forward approach and anthemic songwriting draw from the deep well of 1980s metal tradition.
Portland, Oregon's Silver Talon play heavy and power metal steeped in the classic '80s tradition, bringing muscular riffing and soaring vocals to a city better known for its doom and black metal scenes. Formed in 2018, they represent a deliberate revival of the heroic, melodic side of the metal canon.
Silverblade is a traditional heavy metal band from Berazategui, Buenos Aires, founded by guitarist César Liptai and built around influences including Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Accept. The band released the EP "Sombras del Tiempo" in 2012, then rebuilt their lineup — featuring vocalist Sebastian Bradocck, guitarists Liptai and Federico Saucedo, bassist Roman Bond, and drummer Charly Bek — before putting out their self-titled debut full-length in 2019.
Heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, formed in 2019, with a lineup including Bruno Arantes, Paulo Henrique, Bernardo Silveira, André Milagres, and Joanes dos Santos. The band operates as an independent act rooted in old-school heavy metal traditions.
Silverstage plays heavy metal and hard rock from Paris with a polished, performance-oriented approach, active since 2020. Their name evokes the live stage spectacle that sits at the heart of their musical identity.
Los Angeles-based Silversteel bring a traditional heavy metal sensibility to a city where the style has deep roots, forming in 2019 to carry on the classic sound with unironic commitment. Their name telegraphs both the genre's ornamental glam inheritance and its steely, unbending core.
New York's Silvertomb work the fault line between doom and traditional heavy metal, pairing the genre's crushing weight with the melodic hooks that classic heavy metal demands. Formed in 2019, the band builds an atmosphere of gloomy grandeur without abandoning songcraft for pure heaviness.
Silvertrain delivers heavy metal from Strasbourg, the Alsatian capital straddling the French-German border, active since 2021. Their sound reflects the cross-cultural character of their hometown, drawing on both French and German metal traditions.
Las Vegas's Simms arrived in 2024 fusing heavy metal with neoclassical shred, a combination that places technical guitar virtuosity at the center of otherwise traditionally structured metal songs. Their home in the entertainment capital of America is fitting for a project where showmanship and technicality are equally valued.
