Filthy Progressive Black Metal out of Texas.
Sati blend melodic death metal with metalcore, combining Scandinavian melodeath's guitar harmonies with the rhythmic punch of modern heavy music. Their German outfit delivers a polished take on the melodic extreme metal crossover.
An enigmatic, anonymous black metal project from eastern Austria, Satias released the album "Onus Umbrae" and consistently refuses to attach individual identities to the project. Conceptually, their music is framed as a descent into the psyche's darkest regions, exploring hell as both literal and psychological territory through cold, unrelenting black metal.
Satin Black deliver thrash metal from Freiberg in Saxony, channeling old-school aggression from the heart of the former East German mining region. Formed in 2022, they bring fresh thrash energy to a region better known for its medieval heritage.
Founded in Salzburg in 2011, Sativa Root play entirely instrumental psychedelic stoner/doom metal, releasing three full-lengths including "Megalobong" and the 2023 album "Kings of the Weed Age," a six-track, 54-minute record recorded and mixed by Georg Traschwandtner. Their hypnotic approach forgoes vocals entirely, letting massive, slowly unfurling riffs and dynamic shifts carry the weight of each piece.
Formed in 2020 in Spring Valley, California, Sator Square take their name from the ancient Latin palindrome carved into stone across the Roman world — a fitting emblem for a band weaving gothic atmosphere together with power metal grandeur. Their sound balances soaring melody and dramatic weight, with the gothic darkness of acts like Type O Negative cutting against the propulsive uplift of European power metal.
Satra craft symphonic metal from the southeastern Finnish city of Lappeenranta, layering orchestral grandeur over heavy compositions near the Russian border. Active since 2016, they bring cinematic ambition to the Karelia region.
Satta Caveira are a stoner and heavy psych trio from San Miguel, Argentina, consisting of Cristian Villagra (guitar), Jonatan Emilio (bass), and Gonzalo Void (drums). The band debuted in 2015 with the "Mushrooms Session" EP and the self-titled album — recorded live on 2" tape at Estudio El Attic with no edits or overdubs — and released their third record, "MMI," in August 2018.
Sattador emerged in 2025 from Hann. Munden with a viscous blend of sludge metal and death 'n' roll, combining tar-thick riffs with groovy, swaggering rhythms. Their Lower Saxon fairy-tale town origins contrast perfectly with their filthy sonic approach.
