Sacred Steel are champions of epic power metal from Ludwigsburg, known for their high-pitched vocals, galloping riffs, and themes of steel and battle. As one of Germany's most dedicated true metal acts, they've earned a devoted following in the international power metal underground.
Death/thrash metal band from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, formed in 2011. The band self-released the Stormrider EP in 2006 (predating the current formation, indicating an earlier lineup history) and later issued the full-length Apocalipse Holocaust in 2017, an eight-track album. Their catalogue is available through their Bandcamp page.
Sacrifice in Fire deliver symphonic melodic death/thrash metal from Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, layering orchestral elements over aggressive Bavarian metallic fury. Their ambitious genre fusion combines the melodic sweep of symphonic metal with the intensity of death and thrash.
Sacrificed Conspiracy was a metalcore band from Santiago, Chile, active from 2006 until their split-up. The band released a full-length album Nuevas esperanzas nacen cada día in 2010 and the EP Seguir de Pie in 2015.
Sacrificed Moloch were a death metal band from Graz, Styria, active from approximately 2002 until their split-up, and remained unsigned throughout their existence. They operated as an independent unit within the Graz extreme metal underground, leaving behind a small catalog of raw death metal recordings.
Sacrificed Sorcery practice black metal from an undisclosed Slovak location since 2022. Their name of magical arts offered in sacrifice channels the ritual surrender of occult power into compositions of anonymous atmospheric darkness.
Sacrificed with a Scythe deliver groove-laced thrash metal and hardcore from Zurich, with releases like the "Bitter End" EP showcasing their crossover intensity. Their sound hammers together pit-ready breakdowns with razor-sharp thrash riffing.
San Antonio's Sacrificial Possession arrived in 2023 with a black/death metal sound rooted in hostility and ritual darkness — the kind of band that treats genre conventions as a launchpad rather than a ceiling. Their approach fuses the savagery of death metal's low-end brutality with the icy tremolo malevolence of black metal, carving out a uniquely Texan corner of the underground.
Michigan's Sacrificial Rite works in the corrosive tradition of raw black metal and noise, producing recordings that feel less like performances than transmissions from somewhere deeply hostile. Formed in 2020, the project also ventures into dungeon synth, creating a tension between freezing lo-fi aggression and solitary, meditative ambience.
