Sacrimoon is a depressive black metal project from León, Guanajuato, Mexico, formed in 2012. The band has released multiple full-lengths including Reflections of My Suicide Melancholy (2015), Lost in an Endless Delighted Illusion (2019), and I'm Gonna Miss You. Later activity has been split between Mexico and Italy.
Sacris ritus Vermes ("Sacred Rite of Worms") forge black/death metal from Heidelberg, layering occult Latin nomenclature over aggressive extremity. Their university city origins contrast starkly with the primal savagery of their sound.
Thrash/death metal band from the small Bulgarian town of Berkovitsa, formed in 2024. Their aggressive hybrid channels the energy of both genres from northwestern Bulgaria's mountainous countryside.
Sacrist channel black metal from Opava under their Sad Wrist banner, exploring themes of anguish and darkness through raw, uncompromising compositions. Their Silesian Czech origins place them in a region with deep connections to the Polish and Czech underground scenes.
Black/death metal band from Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil, with roots going back to 1989 when the original lineup recorded the demo Corpus Christis. After years of inactivity, Sacristia re-emerged and released False Preacher on April 16, 2020 via Voz da Morte Prod, a four-track MCD that included three previously unreleased studio recordings alongside a live version of the title track.
Sacristia deliver melodic death metal from Malaga on the Costa del Sol, combining Scandinavian melodeath influences with Mediterranean passion. Active since 2014, they bring melodic extremity to Andalusia's sun-drenched coast.
Sacrosanta Decadencia Occidental blend death metal, crust punk, and grindcore from Galicia and Salamanca, channeling anti-establishment fury through their Spanish-language critique of Western decay. Formed in 2023, they bring politically charged extremity to the Iberian underground.
Sacroscum blend black metal with crust punk from Memmingen in Bavarian Swabia, creating a filthy, D-beat-driven hybrid that spits on genre purity. Their fusion reflects the ongoing cross-pollination between extreme metal and punk's confrontational energy.
