Drawing on the Parisian underground death metal scene, Serenius has been building a catalog of brutality since their 2010 formation in the French capital. Their approach channels classic death metal aggression filtered through the lens of France's thriving extreme music community.
Sergio Mora creates progressive metal and rock from Madrid, building technically ambitious compositions as a solo project. Active since 2020, his work brings personal artistic vision to the Spanish capital's progressive metal landscape.
San Diego's Sergulath fuse orchestral grandeur with the raw edge of black and thrash metal, building a symphonic black/thrash sound that sets them apart in Southern California's scene since their 2018 formation.
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.
Vasteras' Serimosa practice black metal from the Vastmanland capital since 2023. Their enigmatic name and lake-city origins channel undisclosed meaning into atmospheric compositions from central Sweden.
New York's Serling arrived in 2021 with a stripped-down black metal approach — raw, atmospheric, and rooted in the cold intensity that defines underground USBM, named with a nod to the state's tradition of uncompromising darkness.
Serocs is a brutal technical death metal band formed in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico in 2009, later operating as a multinational project across Mexico, France, and Canada before splitting up in 2023. Signed to Everlasting Spew Records, they released four full-lengths including "The Next" (2013), "And When the Sky Was Opened" (2015), and the critically noted "The Phobos/Deimos Suite" (2018).
A technical death metal outfit launched in Avignon in 2024, Seroth represents the newest wave of precision-obsessed extremity emerging from southern France. Their intricate compositions prioritize dizzying fretwork and rhythmic complexity over sheer heaviness alone.
Serp practice black metal from Barcelona, channeling the genre's dark intensity with Catalan character. Active since 2013, they bring serpentine darkness to the Mediterranean black metal scene.
