Charlotte's Sikarra operate in the melodic and technically ambitious space between progressive metal and power metal, weaving clean-toned guitar work and dynamic song structures into their heavy metal foundation since 2016.
please update this band
Active since 1994, Silent Cry are long-running American purveyors of progressive heavy and power metal — patient, technically considered arrangements wrapped around soaring vocals and the kind of melodic ambition that keeps them relevant decades in.
Power metal band from Indaiatuba, São Paulo, formed in 2020, with Dan Figueiredo on vocals, Giovanni Moizio and Viny Ferrari on guitars, Clayton Lopes on bass, and Lucas Tagliari on drums. The band issued their debut album Temple of Greed in 2020, released through PureSteel Records and ROAR Records.
Silent Scream are power/progressive metal veterans from Hagen who have been active since 1981, making them one of the oldest continuously operating bands in German power metal history. Their four-decade tenure predates the genre's crystallization and has witnessed its entire evolution.
York, Pennsylvania's Silent Tyrant have been developing a technical take on power and thrash metal since 2020, pushing the melodic ambition of power metal into more technically demanding territory without losing sight of the driving momentum that makes thrash work.
Silent Voices have been delivering melodic progressive/power metal from the Ostrobothnian city of Kokkola, combining technical sophistication with anthemic melodies. Active since 2013, they bring cerebral power metal to western Finland.
Cincinnati's Silver Cypher have been fusing power metal's soaring ambitions with thrash metal's aggression since 2011, producing a sound that pairs high-octane riffing with melodic reach. The Ohio band occupies a compelling space where anthemic energy meets speed-driven intensity.
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.
