Superrot is a death metal and grindcore band from Rock Island, Illinois, formed in 2025 and built around the pulverizing short-form brutality that defines the Midwest's underground extreme metal underground.
Supersonic Dragon Wagon is a stoner metal band from San Diego, California, active since 2013 and combining fuzzed-out guitar work with the desert-influenced heaviness that thrives in Southern California's DIY underground.
Superstition is a melodic heavy metal band from Chicago, Illinois, with roots stretching back to 1993, drawing on classic metal traditions with a focus on powerful riffing and melodic songwriting.
Superstition is a death metal band from Santa Fe, New Mexico, active since 1993 and known for a suffocating, old-school approach that emphasizes atmosphere and density within the underground death metal tradition.
Supervillain is a New York heavy metal band formed in 2017, crafting arena-ready traditional metal with a theatrical, grandiose edge rooted in classic genre conventions.
Supervoid is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania band formed in 2012, blending sludge and stoner metal with psychedelic textures to produce dense, slow-burning soundscapes that reflect the gritty character of the city's underground scene.
Suplecs are a New Orleans heavy rock trio formed in 1996 by Durel Yates, Danny Nick, and Andrew Preen, long tied to the city's stoner and sludge-adjacent underground. Their sound takes the weight of Sabbath-style riffing, the swing and heat of New Orleans rock and roll, and a rough sense of humor shaped by wrestling culture and local grit. Wrestlin' With My Lady Friend and Sad Songs... Better Days put the band on the wider stoner-rock map around the turn of the millennium, followed by Powtin' on the Outside Pawty on the Inside and Mad Oak Redoux. Hurricane Katrina disrupted the group's path, but Suplecs remained part of the New Orleans heavy scene, resurfacing with new material after long gaps rather than disappearing completely. Their later work keeps the low-slung groove but adds more mature emotional weight, touching on loss, addiction, family, and survival while still sounding like a band built around riffs first.
Supplication is a death metal and grindcore band from the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, active since 2004 and delivering the relentless, caustic aggression that has defined their corner of the New England underground for two decades.
Suppressed is a black metal project formed in the United States in 2018, operating with the lo-fi isolation and misanthropic intensity that characterizes the American underground black metal underground.
