Sandiablo was a stoner metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, featuring guitarist Claudio Filadoro, vocalist Gabriel Raimondo, bassist Adrian Corrales, and drummer Martín Cipriano. The band recorded a single self-titled EP in 1998 across various studios before dissolving in 1999 when Filadoro joined Los Natas, the seminal Argentine stoner rock group.
Sandness play heavy and thrash metal from Geneva, bringing muscular riffs and aggressive energy rooted in the classic thrash tradition. Their Swiss take on the genre combines tight, punchy arrangements with a raw, no-frills intensity.
Sandokhan grind through short, abrasive bursts from the German underground, channeling grindcore's tradition of maximizing intensity within minimal song lengths. Their output favors raw, chaotic energy over polish.
Reno, Nevada's SandVVitch arrived in 2025 armed with technical death metal's structural complexity and deathcore's visceral impact, assembling a sound that treats both subgenres as a single toolkit. The band's irreverent name belies music built on serious technical chops — dissonant, rhythmically unorthodox, and uninterested in playing it safe.
Noordwolde's Sandwitch play heavy metal from the Frisian countryside since 2001. Over two decades of activity from rural Friesland demonstrate the reach of traditional metal into the Netherlands' most remote communities.
Sandy Leather deliver stoner/doom metal and rock from Berlin, building fuzzy, riff-heavy compositions that channel the genre's laid-back heaviness. Their German capital base gives them access to one of Europe's most fertile underground music scenes.
Moscow's Sangara pair heavy and thrash metal from the Russian capital since 2016. Their name and Moscow origins channel metropolitan aggression into compositions of dual-genre intensity.
Sangham craft progressive metal from Marseille, building intricate compositions from the Mediterranean port. Formed in 2020, they bring Provencal ambition to the French progressive scene.
Sangre Guerrera is a thrash metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2016. They released their debut full-length "Mi sangre mi tierra" and the "Killing Bastards" demo the same year, then followed up with the full-length "Killing Bastards LP" in 2018, with lyrical themes centered on war and society.
