Atlanta's Silence the Martyr fuse the cold, mechanized textures of industrial metal with death metal's aggression and heaviness, producing a sound that is as calculated as it is brutal since 2014.
Devastating Melodic Death Metal / Metalcore (early); Deathcore (later) from San Antonio.
Ocean Beach, California's Silence the Prince work within melodic death metal's characteristic blend of harsh extremity and melodic guitar leads, bringing San Diego's coastal scene sensibility to a genre rooted in Scandinavian influences since 2018.
St. Louis-based Silence the Witness blend the hook-driven intensity of metalcore with the heavier, more technically demanding elements of melodic death metal, drawing on both traditions to craft a dynamic and aggressive sound since 2015.
Silence the Yearning blend melodic death metal with gothic metal from the Spanish underground, combining aggressive extremity with dark romantic longing. Active since 2015, they bring emotional depth to their Iberian melodic extreme sound.
Silenced deliver thrash metal from Halle an der Saale, channeling aggressive velocity from Saxony-Anhalt's largest city. Active since 2009, they've been a fixture of the eastern German thrash scene for over a decade.

Silench Crew deliver thrash and heavy metal from the Castilian city of Burgos, channeling aggressive energy from the historical heart of Spain. Formed in 2021, they bring Gothic-quarter intensity to the Castilian thrash scene.
A Boston heavy metal outfit formed in 2024, Silencio traffics in the hard rock-adjacent side of the genre — muscular riffs and a classic sensibility that nods to the NWOBHM tradition without being beholden to it.
