Silent Void crafts melodic doom/death metal from somewhere within France, their exact location kept deliberately obscure since their 2019 formation. Their compositions pair mournful clean melodies with guttural death metal vocals over glacially paced arrangements.
Silent Wings craft symphonic metal from Oer-Erkenschwick in the northern Ruhr Valley, layering orchestral arrangements and soaring melodies over heavy instrumentation. Their industrial-town origins contrast with the grandeur of their cinematic compositions.
Silentvice deliver atmospheric doom/death metal from Madrid, building immersive, crushing compositions that channel the vise-like grip their name describes. Active since 2015, they bring suffocating heaviness to the Spanish capital.
Progressive death metal and deathcore band from Sarajevo whose 2018 debut "Rotgiver" showcases a six-track blend of technical guitar work, djent-influenced rhythms, and aggressive vocals from a five-piece lineup. Recorded and mastered by Sandro Zjajo, their sound reflects Sarajevo's emerging position in modern extreme metal.
Silhouette emerged from Montpellier in 2022 with atmospheric black metal that channels the hot, arid character of southern France's Languedoc region. Their tremolo-rich compositions build expansive soundscapes over blast beats and layered guitar textures.
Silicium blends thrash metal, groove metal, and metalcore from Bordeaux, having formed in 2024. Their multifaceted approach to heavy music reflects the stylistic cross-pollination that defines the current generation of French metal bands.
Silicose operates as a French black metal entity of deliberately obscured origins, active since 2023. Named after the occupational lung disease caused by silica dust inhalation, their raw sound carries an industrial, suffocating quality.
Tyrolean thrash metal outfit formed in 2013 in Landeck, Silius draws from the legacy of Metallica, Exodus, and Pantera across multiple albums including "Hell Awakening" and "Worship to Extinction." Their fast-paced riffs and unrelenting energy have made them a prominent force in Austrian thrash.
Silk Gloves delivers traditional heavy metal from the Loire Valley city of Tours, formed in 2020. Despite the delicate name, their sound channels iron-fisted riffing and soaring vocals in the classic European metal tradition.
