Sintech forge industrial black metal from Neustadt bei Coburg in Upper Franconia, fusing the cold atmospheres of black metal with mechanical, electronic textures. Active since 2003, they've spent over two decades at the intersection of these two extreme forms.
Los Angeles, California's Sinyells have built a sound since 2019 that layers industrial metal's mechanized, abrasive textures into a metalcore framework, producing music that feels digitally hostile and physically aggressive in equal measure.
Sipher craft gothic, alternative, and industrial metal from Helsinki, blending multiple dark music traditions into a versatile heavy sound. Active since 2015, they bring encoded darkness to the Finnish capital's alternative metal scene.
Normal, Illinois' Skeptic brings an industrial edge to the technical death metal formula, combining mechanical rhythmic precision with the clinical brutality of tech-death in a sound that feels machine-driven and merciless.
Boston's Skin Drone pushes technical death metal through an industrial filter, layering mechanical textures and cold electronic production over complex, precision-tooled riff structures since their 2016 formation.
SKLP is an industrial metal project from Santiago, Chile, founded in late 2019 or early 2020, drawing inspiration from late 1980s and mid-1990s industrial metal. The project's name is a contraction of the Sanskrit word "sankalpa," reflecting its lyrical focus on self-transformation and the use of music as mantras and audio sigils.
Eau Claire, Wisconsin's Skull Fuckers Incorporated formed in 2023, playing a confrontational mix of industrial groove metal and hard rock that leans into provocation as part of its identity.
Blistering Industrial / Thrash Metal from Dallas.
Alingsas' Skymning have evolved from melodic power/death metal to industrial death/black metal since 2012. Their Swedish name meaning "twilight" and Vastergotland origins channel the liminal moment between day and night into compositions that have grown progressively darker.
