Silent Cross is a heavy/speed metal band formed in 2019 in Mexico City, Mexico. The band released their debut demo, Fire Walk with Me, in 2019 and followed with their first full-length, Como las bestias, in 2025.
Active since 1994, Silent Cry are long-running American purveyors of progressive heavy and power metal — patient, technically considered arrangements wrapped around soaring vocals and the kind of melodic ambition that keeps them relevant decades in.
Silent Dawn plays melodic death metal across multiple Breton towns including Brest, Plouescat, and Carhaix, active since 2014. Their harmonized guitar leads and structured songwriting reflect the Gothenburg influence filtered through Brittany's distinct cultural identity.
Hailing from Venus, Texas, Silent Deep Ocean arrived in 2024 with a sound rooted in the slow suffocation of doom and the cold grandeur of gothic metal, building a world of dense atmosphere somewhere between grief and subterranean dread.
Silent Fracture deliver melodic death metal and metalcore from Copenhagen, combining Scandinavian melodeath's harmonic sophistication with modern breakdowns. Formed in 2019, they bring fractured intensity to the Danish capital.
Long Island's Silent Fury have been forging their brand of heavy/thrash metal since 2010, channeling the blunt force of classic thrash while keeping a melodic hook close enough to give the songs some staying power beyond sheer aggression.
Silent Grinders deal in death metal and grindcore from Catalonia, channeling extreme aggression through short, brutal compositions. Formed in 2023, they bring grinding intensity to the Catalan underground.
Power metal band from Indaiatuba, São Paulo, formed in 2020, with Dan Figueiredo on vocals, Giovanni Moizio and Viny Ferrari on guitars, Clayton Lopes on bass, and Lucas Tagliari on drums. The band issued their debut album Temple of Greed in 2020, released through PureSteel Records and ROAR Records.
A Columbus, Ohio thrash outfit formed in 2018, Silent Home operates squarely in the pit-ready end of the genre — tightly wound riffs and a Midwest directness that trades flashiness for forward motion.
