Spokane, Washington's Serpentspire have been one of the Pacific Northwest's most technically demanding death metal outfits since 2016, building elaborate, riff-dense compositions that push technical death metal into labyrinthine territory.
San Diego's Serpentyne draw from three directions at once — progressive, thrash, and power metal — resulting in a dynamic, melodically rich hybrid that has been sharpening its edge in Southern California's metal scene since 2018.
Austrian atmospheric black metal project formed in 2024, Serpere released their debut "The Invoker" followed by "Exsequiae" in 2025 on Into Endless Chaos Records. Their dark, immersive compositions blend black metal with ambient textures, establishing them as a rising force in Austria's underground.
Vastervik's Serpesta practice black metal from the Smaland coast since 2021. Their plague-serpent name channels the venomous spread of pestilence into atmospheric compositions from the Baltic shore.
Serphika is a melodic power metal band from Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina, formed in late 2011 with the aim of blending symphonic and operatic elements into a metal framework drawing on influences including Nightwish and Helloween. The band released the EP Despertar in December 2014, recorded at Heaven and Hell Recording Studio with vocalist Lorena Espinoza fronting a lineup that also included guitarists Santiago Cabezas and Cristian Testaseca.
Rome's Serpi in Seno play heavy metal with an Italian name meaning "serpents in the bosom" since 2023. This idiomatic expression for hidden treachery gives their traditional metal a distinctly Italian literary flavor.
Serpiente Eterna is a black/thrash metal band from Copiapó, Chile, whose history stretches back to 2001 through predecessor projects including My Funeral Hell, Silentium Noctis, and Serpent Noctis before adopting the current name in 2014. The band released their debut full-length, also titled Serpiente Eterna, in 2017, with lyrical themes exploring darkness, anti-Christianity, and Sumerian mythology.
Houston death metal act Serpientes de Fuego have been bringing the fire since 2018, rooted in the Lone Star State's storied brutal underground and delivering uncompromising, riff-driven death metal out of one of Texas's most historically fertile metal cities.
A young technical death metal outfit from Huntsville, Alabama, Serratia formed in 2024 and immediately set their sights on clinical precision and surgical riff construction. Their name — borrowed from the rod-shaped bacterium — signals an interest in the microscopic and malignant, matching a sound built on rapid-fire fretwork and punishing rhythmic density.
