Hailing from Unionville, Florida, Serration have been cultivating a raw and uncompromising strain of death metal since 2018, drawing on the punishing aesthetic of the Florida tradition while carving their own jagged edge. Their approach favors heaviness over technicality, leaning into grinding riffs and brutal rhythmic punishment.
Richmond, Virginia's Serum have been a fixture of that city's underground death metal scene since 2008, channeling the grim and gritty energy that Richmond's heavy music community is known for. Their sound is rooted in old-school death metal values — thick, downtuned riffs, menacing vocals, and a no-frills devotion to the form.
Serum 114 is a Frankfurt-based German punk rock band formed in 2006, drawing primary influence from Social Distortion while delivering socially and politically charged lyrics in German. Fronted by vocalist Esche, the band built a devoted following over more than fifteen years and eight releases, with the album Die Nacht mein Freund (2016) reaching number three on the German charts. Their 2020 album Im Zeichen der Zeit was released through Napalm Records and continued their streak of chart success, while a 2022 acoustic EP Zuhause Unplugged demonstrated the range of Esche's songwriting stripped of electric instrumentation.
Crushing Grindcore / Death Metal from Austin, Texas (early); Portland, Oregon (later).
Servants to the Tide are a Hamburg-based epic doom metal outfit featuring keyboards alongside traditional guitar work, creating a symphonic dimension to their crushing heaviness. Albums like "Where Time Will Come To Die" showcase their ability to blend orchestral grandeur with the genre's monolithic weight.
Servator deliver death/thrash metal from Helmstedt on the former Inner German Border, channeling aggressive extremity from a town once divided between East and West. Active since 2010, their border-town origins lend a particular edge to their dual-genre attack.
Moscow's Servators play heavy metal from the Russian capital since 2010. Their Latin name meaning "preservers" channels the act of safeguarding into traditional metal compositions from Europe's largest city.
Served Cold play metalcore and deathcore from Schongau in the Bavarian Alps, combining punishing breakdowns with the scenic backdrop of the Lech Valley. Formed in 2022, they bring modern heaviness to one of Upper Bavaria's most picturesque regions.
Service Geriatrie burst onto the French brutal death metal scene in 2023 with a darkly humorous name belying genuinely punishing sonic output. Their blasting, guttural approach sits firmly within the gore-obsessed end of the death metal spectrum.
