Suicide of Society play thrash metal from the Siegen-Wittgenstein district of North Rhine-Westphalia, channeling societal critique through aggressive compositions. Formed in 2020, they bring socially conscious thrash to the Sauerland region.

Formed in Riverside, California in 2002, Suicide Silence became one of the defining bands of the deathcore movement under the tenure of vocalist Mitch Lucker. Their 2007 Century Media debut The Cleansing brought the genre significant mainstream attention, followed by No Time to Bleed (2009) and The Black Crown (2011). Lucker died in November 2012 following a motorcycle accident; the band continued with new vocalist Hernan 'Eddie' Hermida and is frequently cited alongside Whitechapel, Thy Art is Murder, and Job for a Cowboy as one of deathcore's founding pillars.
Suicide Solution practice black metal from Saxony-Anhalt, drawing their name from the controversial Ozzy Osbourne track. Active since 2009, they've been channeling the genre's darkest impulses from the eastern German heartland for over a decade.
Suicide Symbiosis deliver melodic death metal from Lahti, combining the Scandinavian melodeath tradition with themes of mutual self-destruction. Active since 2011, they bring codependent intensity to the Paijat-Hame extreme scene.
