Austrian melodic heavy metal band from the Salzburg-area town of Hallein, formed in 2021. Their approach marries classic heavy metal melody and songcraft with modern production sensibilities, contributing to the continued vitality of traditional metal in the Austrian scene.
Ankara's Sept merge progressive, death, and groove metal from the Turkish capital. Their seven-derived name channels numerical significance into compositions of technically ambitious, multi-genre intensity.
Black metal band from Davenport, Iowa, active since 2013. Named after a funerary cult-like gathering evoked by the Colossi of Memnon, they bring a ritualistic, mythology-steeped sensibility to the American Midwest black metal underground.
Septaria craft progressive doom/death metal from the Provencal town of Pertuis, building elaborate, crushing compositions from the Luberon region. Formed in 2024, they bring geological (septarian nodule) depth to the southeastern French scene.
Formed in 2021 in Opelika, Alabama, Septarian forge a sound that fuses the melodic sweep of Scandinavian death metal with the aggressive riff velocity of thrash. Their approach leans hard into dual-guitar interplay and driving rhythms that never sacrifice hook for brutality. Still a young band, they represent a promising new voice in the American melodic death/thrash underground.
La Spezia's Septem play heavy metal from the Ligurian naval port since 2024. Their Latin name meaning "seven" adds classical weight to a sound rooted in traditional metal foundations.
Imola's September Damage blend death and melodic death metal from the famous motorsport city since 2012. Their location on the Autodromo circuit's doorstep infuses their sound with a sense of velocity and impact.
Septemberwolf deliver death metal and death 'n' roll from Lahti, combining the genre's aggression with rock 'n' roll swagger. Emerging in 2025, they bring lupine intensity to the Paijat-Hame scene.
Septentrion channel raw black metal from Turku, drawing their Latin name (meaning "north") from their Nordic geography. Active since 2018, they bring directionally appropriate rawness to the southwestern Finnish underground.
