Separate My Veins blend melodic groove metal with metalcore from Regensburg, combining rhythmic heaviness with emotionally charged melodic passages. Their visceral name matches the intensity of their Bavarian-crafted modern metal.
Denver's Seren occupy an ambitious crossroads of progressive black and death metal with metalcore influences, weaving volatile extremity and structural complexity into a sound that has distinguished the band in Colorado's underground since 2017.
Norrkoping's Serial Experiments deliver experimental metalcore with noise elements since 2023. Their name referencing the cult anime "Serial Experiments Lain" channels digital-age alienation into boundary-pushing compositions from the Ostergotland industrial city.
Served Cold play metalcore and deathcore from Schongau in the Bavarian Alps, combining punishing breakdowns with the scenic backdrop of the Lech Valley. Formed in 2022, they bring modern heaviness to one of Upper Bavaria's most picturesque regions.
SETYØURSAILS is a German metalcore and post-hardcore band formed in Cologne in 2017, built around a blend of aggressive screamed vocals and clean melodic passages addressing themes of mental health, resilience, and personal struggle. Their self-produced debut Enough (2018) established the band in the domestic scene before their major-label debut Nightfall (January 2022) on Napalm Records brought them wider recognition with a more polished and expansive sound. A third album Bad Blood (2024) pushed the band's palette further, incorporating rock and pop influences alongside their core metalcore foundation.
Severed is a New York metalcore band with roots stretching back to 1980, making them one of the longer-standing acts in the genre's history. They blend aggression and structure in the metalcore mold, drawing on decades of East Coast heavy music tradition.
Moscow's Seversun merge groove, metalcore, and progressive metal from the Russian capital since 2017. Their north-sun name channels the weak light of high latitudes into multi-genre compositions of metropolitan ambition.
Sevicia evolved from melodic heavy metal into metalcore from Bilbao, tracing a trajectory from classic melody to modern aggression. Their Basque Country origins connect them to one of Spain's most vibrant music cultures.
Seyr craft progressive metalcore with post-rock influences from Berlin, blending heavy, angular riffing with expansive, atmospheric passages. Formed in 2022, they represent the more cerebral, artistically ambitious end of the Berlin heavy music scene.
