Sons of Mourning is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Kansas City, Missouri, formed in 2017, conjuring heavy, grief-laden atmospheres through the slow convergence of all three of metal's most weight-bearing styles.
Vladimir's Sons of Northern Mist merge melodic death and power metal from the Golden Ring city since 2013. Their boreal heritage name and origins in one of medieval Russia's most important principalities channel northern identity into ambitious, melody-driven compositions.
Sons of Odin is a black and melodic death metal band from Salem, formed in 2013, drawing on Norse mythology and Viking imagery to fuel an aggressive hybrid of black metal fury and melodic death metal craft.
Sons of Providence are a Phoenix, Arizona band formed in 2013 that blend the heavy atmosphere of gothic metal with the slow, fuzz-driven weight of stoner metal. Their sound draws from both traditions, creating a brooding, riff-heavy approach rooted in the desert Southwest.
Sons of Ragnar are an Orlando, Florida melodic death metal band formed in 2013, combining the Scandinavian-influenced twin-guitar harmonies and aggressive tempos of the genre with a distinctly American heaviness.
Sons of Seasons formed in Aachen, Germany in 2007, organized around Kamelot keyboardist Oliver Palotai, who wrote and produced the band's material and recruited vocalist Henning Basse alongside bassist Jürgen Steinmetz and drummer Daniel Schild. Their debut Gods of Vermin (2009) introduced a dramatic symphonic power metal sound with progressive touches, and Magnisphyricon (2011) expanded the band's compositional ambition further. The project draws on the same European tradition as Kamelot while emphasizing a darker, more orchestral palette. Sons of Seasons have remained a part-time vehicle for Palotai's songwriting outside his primary band obligations.
Sons of Solomon are a deathcore and death metal band from Florence, South Carolina, formed in 2009, delivering down-tuned heaviness and breakdowns within a brutal extreme metal framework.
Sons of Sorrow deliver melodic deathcore from the eastern Finnish town of Kontiolahti, combining Scandinavian melodeath with modern breakdowns. Active since 2013, they bring sorrowful intensity to the North Karelia scene.
Hard-hitting heavy rock from the Rio Grande Valley.
