Segregación Primordial is a death metal band from Temuco, Chile, active since 2011. The band released their debut full-length, Visiones al límite del universo, in 2013, followed by a second full-length titled I in 2016, with lyrics exploring themes of chaos, spirituality, anti-creationism, and the occult.
Death and groove metal band from Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul, formed in 2020, fronted by vocalist Lucas Lazzarotto and produced on their debut work by Ernani Savaris. Their debut album Lemarchand's Dominus was released in 2020, and in 2024 the band released the single "Last Night of the World" featuring former Judas Priest and Iced Earth vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens, with compositions credited to Eduardo Vignatti and Lazzarotto.
Segundo Impacto ("Second Impact") channel hardcore, death, and sludge metal from Madrid, creating a punishing multi-genre assault. Formed in 2020, they bring devastating crossover energy to the Spanish capital's underground.
Seide practice black metal from Paris, channeling the genre's dark intensity from the French capital since 2009. Their nearly two decades of Parisian darkness make them fixtures of the Ile-de-France underground.
Louisville, Kentucky's Seidr draw their name from Old Norse sorcery and their sound from the atmospheric end of doom/death metal, crafting music that moves between mournful heaviness and bleaker, more ethereal passages. Formed in 2018 in a city with a well-worn tradition of extreme and experimental heavy music, they bring a painterly, introspective quality to a genre often more concerned with sheer brutality.
Murmansk's Seids play heavy metal from the Arctic port since 2014. Named for the sacred Sámi stone formations, their Kola Peninsula origins channel indigenous Arctic spirituality into traditional metal.
Seidur practice pagan black metal from Turku, drawing their name from the Norse magical tradition of seidr. Formed in 2023, they bring shamanistic practices to the southwestern Finnish black metal scene.
Waco, Texas black metal project Seiobo takes its name from a figure in East Asian mythology and channels that sense of the otherworldly into Texas's growing underground black metal scene since 2023. Operating out of a city not typically associated with the genre, Seiobo represents the kind of geographically unexpected but sonically committed black metal that keeps the genre's underground alive and unpredictable.
Cullman, Alabama death metal act Seishinkage have been operating since 2015 in a part of the Deep South that rarely gets credited for its underground metal activity, delivering the genre's hallmarks — blast beats, low-tuned riffs, guttural vocals — with an authentic commitment to extremity. Their name, drawn from Japanese, reflects the kind of idiosyncratic identity that distinguishes smaller-market metal bands carving their own path.
