Sacrosodomy practice black metal across Madrid and Bratislava, channeling blasphemous fury through a Spanish-Slovak collaboration. Active since 2017, their cross-continental approach brings unique perspective to European black metal.
Sacrotorsus is a Death/Doom Metal band from Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, founded in April 2015 by musician Marco Antonio Espinosa. The band released its debut full-length Et Lumine in Tenebris in 2017, followed by In Memoriam in 2018 and Prodigal Son in 2026.
Boston's Sacrum have spent their career since 2008 fusing death and thrash metal into something that carries the intellectual weight of New England's metal scene alongside uncompromising brutality. Their sound is precise without being sterile — angular, riff-forward death/thrash that owes as much to the Bay Area as it does to Europe's extremity.
Thrash metal band from Valinhos, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2007. The band — Felipe Polaris (guitar), Leonardo Nenezao (vocals/bass), Jao (vocals/guitar), and Miguel Rambo (drums) — released their debut demo War and Disgrace in 2008 and have remained active as an independent act in the São Paulo underground scene. Their lyrical themes address booze, war, politics, and religion.
Mersin's Sad Black Goat practice black metal from the Mediterranean Turkish port since 2024. Their melancholic-caprine name channels the sorrow of the sabbatic goat into compositions of freshly-minted Anatolian darkness.
Sad Eyes deal in death metal from the ancient Castilian city of Soria, channeling extreme aggression from one of Spain's most sparsely populated provinces. Active since 2012, their melancholic name contrasts with the violence of their output.
Sad Fact deliver thrash and heavy metal from Pilsen, the Czech beer capital that has also brewed its share of aggressive music. Formed in 2024, they bring classic metal energy to the western Bohemian scene.
Originally from Yerevan, Armenia, with subsequent connections to Russia, Austria, and the United States, Sadael is a one-man death/funeral doom metal project spanning a prolific catalog that includes full-lengths such as "Paralytic Thrall," "Deep Sleepers," and "Elysian Reverie: A Sonata of Shadows." The project consistently explores themes of grief, dissolution, and existential darkness through slow, suffocating arrangements punctuated by melodic guitar passages.
Sadas play metalcore from the northern Finnish coastal town of Raahe, bringing modern heaviness to the Ostrobothnia region. Formed in 2019, they bring Arctic-edge intensity to the Finnish metalcore scene.
