Buffalo melodic death metal band active since 2012, blending the snarl and weight of death metal with melodic sensibility from a Great Lakes city with a fierce and underappreciated metal underground.
Formed in Innsbruck, Austria in 1998, Siegfried built their sound around the Nibelung saga, crafting blackened symphonic power metal with lyrics drawn directly from Germanic heroic legend. Their debut album Drachenherz arrived in 2001 on Napalm Records, followed by Eisenwinter in 2003. The band's third full-length, Nibelung (2009), was widely regarded as their strongest work, refining the orchestral and narrative ambitions that define the project. Songwriter Ortwin composes all of the music while lyricist Bruder Cle translates the mythological source material into metal form.
Thrash/grindcore band from São Paulo, formed in 1989 and named after two sisters from the neighbourhood where the founding members lived. After disbanding in 2002, they reunited in 2015 and signed to Cogumelo Records, releasing Back From Hell (2023) — their first studio album in 24 years, featuring guest appearances from Mayara Puertas of Torture Squad and Henrique Fogaça of Oitão — followed by the live album Massacre em Lorena (2024), recorded at Ferrovia Estúdio in Lorena, São Paulo.
Sielkanker emerged in 2025 as one of France's newest blackened/symphonic deathcore projects, pairing orchestral grandeur with crushing breakdowns. Their Afrikaans-derived name, meaning 'soul cancer,' signals a thematic preoccupation with psychological torment.
Sieluhaaska (Finnish for "Soul Waste") practice black metal from the Finnish underground, channeling spiritual desolation through raw compositions. Formed in 2021, they bring wasted-soul intensity to the Finnish black metal scene.
Sierranegra is a metalcore and groove metal band formed in Buenos Aires in May 2019, featuring members Leandro Andrizzi, Sebastian Mella, Nicolas Petkovich, Javier Veron, and Juan Villarreal. Signed to Carnivale Records, the band released a self-titled album in 2020 followed by the six-track EP "La Alquimia del Rencor" in February 2024.
Olympia, Washington stoner/doom duo formed in 2018, building slow, haze-soaked riffs into hypnotic, heavy structures — fitting for a city steeped in DIY culture and Pacific Northwest atmosphere.
