Silver Skull channels the spirit of classic heavy metal and hard rock from Marseille, having formed in 2021. Their riff-forward approach and anthemic songwriting draw from the deep well of 1980s metal tradition.
Portland, Oregon's Silver Talon play heavy and power metal steeped in the classic '80s tradition, bringing muscular riffing and soaring vocals to a city better known for its doom and black metal scenes. Formed in 2018, they represent a deliberate revival of the heroic, melodic side of the metal canon.
A Virginia black metal act formed in 2026, Silver Wings is one of the newer entries in the American underground, operating within the raw, adversarial framework that defines the genre. Little is yet known about their full scope, but their black metal allegiance is unambiguous.
Silverblade is a traditional heavy metal band from Berazategui, Buenos Aires, founded by guitarist César Liptai and built around influences including Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Accept. The band released the EP "Sombras del Tiempo" in 2012, then rebuilt their lineup — featuring vocalist Sebastian Bradocck, guitarists Liptai and Federico Saucedo, bassist Roman Bond, and drummer Charly Bek — before putting out their self-titled debut full-length in 2019.
Pittsburgh's Silverblood have been delivering American power metal since 2013, channeling the anthemic, fist-raised spirit of the genre's European forebears through a Rust Belt lens. Their sound combines muscular riffwork with the kind of dramatic, sky-reaching vocal delivery the style demands.
Saint Petersburg's Silvercast craft symphonic metal from the cultural capital since 2002. Over two decades, their silvered name and imperial-city grandeur have produced compositions of sustained orchestral ambition.
Heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, formed in 2019, with a lineup including Bruno Arantes, Paulo Henrique, Bernardo Silveira, André Milagres, and Joanes dos Santos. The band operates as an independent act rooted in old-school heavy metal traditions.
Hailing from Buchanan, Michigan, Silverhawk have pursued progressive metal since 2017, crafting intricate compositions that reward patient listening. The small-town Michigan origin adds an interesting contrast to the genre's typically urban, technically ambitious associations.
Silverheart is a melodic power metal band from Rosario, Argentina, formed in April 2011, who began with covers before developing their own English-language songwriting. They released the EP "The Dark Lighthouse" in 2014, the debut full-length "Forsaken Words" in December 2015, the second album "Destination" in April 2019, and the Queen tribute EP "Queens of Metal" in 2020.
