Secures play death/thrash metal from Zurich, combining the technical precision of thrash with death metal's heavier tonalities. Their dual-genre approach delivers both speed and crushing low-end impact.
Securitate practice black metal from Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock in North Rhine-Westphalia, their name referencing the Romanian secret police in keeping with black metal's fascination with authoritarian imagery. Their crust-influenced output adds a punk dimension to their extremity.
Sed Lex craft progressive metal from the Rhone Valley city of Valence, building intricate compositions from the Drome department. Active since 2012, they bring legal-Latin-named ("But the Law") precision to the French progressive scene.
Sedated channel stoner and doom metal from the Occitanie region, building hazy, heavy compositions from southern France. Emerging in 2025, they bring tranquilized heaviness to the French stoner/doom scene.
Sedated Angel channel stoner metal and rock from Kolding, building hazy, laid-back compositions from the Jutland harbor town. Active since 2007, they bring tranquilized heaviness to the Danish stoner scene.
Syktyvkar's Sedation pair doom and gothic metal from the Komi Republic capital since 2014. Their anesthetic name and sub-Arctic origins channel the numbing cold of the Russian north into compositions of atmospheric, darkly romantic weight.
Sedative play groove metal and metalcore from Kremze, combining rhythmic heaviness with aggressive vocal delivery. Active since 2007, they've been a consistent presence in the South Bohemian heavy music scene for nearly two decades.
Chicago thrash act Sedition formed in 2018 with a straightforward mission: write punishing, fast, and aggressive metal in the mold of the genre's classic period. Operating out of a city with a long history of heavy underground activity, they channel the crossover energy and riff-forward intensity that made thrash a movement rather than just a style.
