Sardaukarz play heavy metal and hardcore punk from Granada, drawing their name from Frank Herbert's Dune universe to fuel their Andalusian aggression. Active since 2015, they bring science-fiction-themed intensity to the southern Spanish metal scene.
Sardonic Death have been delivering death metal and grindcore from Rodding in southern Jutland since 1991, making them one of Denmark's longest-running extreme metal acts. Their three-decade career represents a sustained commitment to aggressive extremity from the Danish countryside.

Belgian instrumental stoner/sludge/doom metal duo of guitarist Roel Paulussen and drummer Jelle Stevens, who unleashed crushing riff-heavy mayhem from 2006 through 2016 across seven releases. Their farewell live album "Mutiny at Cafe Cafe" (2017) featured five guest vocalists and closed the book on a decade of heavyweight instrumental devastation.
Salt Lake City's Sardoniscorn have been conducting black metal from one of America's most incongruous cities for that genre since 2013 — the mountain geography notwithstanding, Utah's metal underground has always punched well above its weight. Their sound carries the isolation that defines much of the Great Basin, translated into cold, abrasive black metal.
Active in Vienna and Lower Austria from 1995 to 1999, Sardonyx were a death metal band notable for writing the majority of their lyrics in Viennese dialect and slang, with the remainder in English. This regional linguistic identity set them apart within the broader European death metal underground of the mid-1990s.
Progressive/power metal band from São Paulo, formed in 2004, led by guitarist and vocalist David Thomazone alongside vocalist and keyboardist Debora Thomazone. The band released their album For the King in March 2019, recorded at Digital Triad Studio with a five-piece lineup including guitarists Felipe Rodrigo, bassist Adriano Alves, and drummer Alejandro Willians.
Orebro's Sargad deliver death metal from the central Swedish city since 2016. Their enigmatic name and Narke origins channel focused aggression into compositions of sustained extremity.
