Sadastor blend black metal with progressive metal from the French underground, pushing beyond conventional structures since 2001. Their quarter-century career makes them veterans of the French experimental black metal scene.
Linkoping's Sadatron thrash from the Ostergotland capital since 2010. Their cybernetic-sadism name channels mechanized cruelty into over a decade of high-velocity compositions from eastern Sweden.
Sadatus blend gothic and groove metal from the Ostrobothnian city of Kokkola, combining dark romantic atmospheres with rhythmic heaviness. Formed in 2020, they bring bilingual Finnish-Swedish cultural fusion to their metal.
Stockholm's Sadauk pair symphonic and gothic metal from the Swedish capital since 2019. Their enigmatic name and metropolitan origins channel capital-city grandeur into darkly orchestral compositions.
Saddict combine metalcore with thrash metal from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, blending modern breakdowns with old-school velocity. Formed in 2021, they bring addiction-themed crossover to southwestern France.
Sadhayena play heavy metal and hard rock from Nantes, channeling classic metal energy from the Loire-Atlantique capital. Active since 2017, they bring western French traditional metal fire to the scene.
Sadic Smile play metalcore from the Canary Island of Tenerife, combining aggressive breakdowns with melodic passages from the volcanic Atlantic archipelago. Formed in 2024, they bring island-bred intensity to the Spanish heavy scene.
Sadic Society is a Death/Thrash Metal band from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, founded in 2010 by Klon on vocals, guitars, and creative direction. The band released its debut demo Asesino por naturaleza in 2010 and returned with the demo Perverso in 2021.
California's Sadisme has operated since 2018 in the unforgiving terrain of raw black metal, building a catalog defined by primitive production and an unwillingness to soften any edge. The project strips the genre down to its most confrontational elements — hissing tape noise, venomous riffs, and an atmosphere of pure contempt.
