La Spezia's Septem play heavy metal from the Ligurian naval port since 2024. Their Latin name meaning "seven" adds classical weight to a sound rooted in traditional metal foundations.
Imola's September Damage blend death and melodic death metal from the famous motorsport city since 2012. Their location on the Autodromo circuit's doorstep infuses their sound with a sense of velocity and impact.
Septemberwolf deliver death metal and death 'n' roll from Lahti, combining the genre's aggression with rock 'n' roll swagger. Emerging in 2025, they bring lupine intensity to the Paijat-Hame scene.
Septentrion channel raw black metal from Turku, drawing their Latin name (meaning "north") from their Nordic geography. Active since 2018, they bring directionally appropriate rawness to the southwestern Finnish underground.
Septentrional Depths channel atmospheric death/doom metal from the southwestern French village of La Ville-Dieu-du-Temple, building immersive, heavy compositions. Active since 2018, they bring northern-directed depth to the Tarn-et-Garonne underground.
Septic Apes deliver stoner and sludge metal from Jyvaskyla, building hazy, primate-themed compositions from the central Finnish Lakeland. Active since 2012, they bring infected simian grooves to the Keski-Suomi stoner scene.
Out of Layton, Utah since 2008, Septic Baptism have spent nearly two decades building suffocating walls of sludge and doom from the high desert. Their music moves at a glacial, punishing pace, drawing equally from the corrosive weight of sludge and the mournful slow-burn of traditional doom. They are one of Utah's most enduring heavy underground acts.
Emerging from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2020, Septic Chasm deal in raw, uncompromising death metal rooted in the gutter end of the American tradition. Their sound channels the grimy, cavern-drenched aesthetic that defines contemporary underground death metal. Despite their relatively recent formation, the band carries the weight and conviction of a much older act.
Septic Congestion deal in slam and brutal death metal from Lyngby near Copenhagen, delivering guttural extremity from the Danish capital's northern suburbs. Active since 2016, they bring medical-horror brutality to the Scandinavian slam scene.
