Brazilian thrash metal legends Sepultura helped put South American metal on the global map with landmark albums like 'Beneath the Remains' and 'Arise' before radically reinventing themselves with 1996's tribal-metal masterpiece 'Roots,' which fused extreme metal with indigenous Brazilian percussion and world music. The Cavalera brothers' departure fractured the band but didn't end it, as Sepultura continued for decades under guitarist Andreas Kisser's stewardship, exploring diverse sonic territory across numerous albums. Their influence on the global metal scene, particularly in bridging extreme metal with indigenous and world music traditions, is immeasurable.
Sequester deal in death/black metal from Altotting, the Bavarian Catholic pilgrimage town, creating a stark contrast between their sacred surroundings and profane music. Active since 2008, they've been channeling extreme metal from an unlikely source for nearly two decades.
Sequestrum deliver death metal and grindcore from Copenhagen, channeling medical-themed extremity (their name refers to a bone fragment isolated by necrosis). Formed in 2022, they bring pathological precision to the Danish extreme scene.
Sequoia Grove blend folk and symphonic metal from Odense, weaving natural imagery and orchestral grandeur into their heavy compositions. Formed in 2023, they bring arboreal elegance to the Funen metal scene.
Five-piece post-metal band from Vienna blending black metal ferocity with post-rock expansiveness, Seqvoia debuted in 2016 with a live demo recorded at Das Bach. Featuring dual guitars and lyrics exploring isolation and spiritual struggle, their sound builds through dynamic shifts between crushing heaviness and atmospheric restraint.
Minneapolis sludge metal outfit Serac have been at work since 2015, channeling the cold, bleak energy of the upper Midwest into slow, crushing riff structures. Their music bears the weight of extended instrumental passages and a commitment to atmosphere that sets them apart within the dense Minneapolis heavy music scene. Named after the unstable ice formations that precede glacier collapse, their sound evokes that same slow-building, inevitable devastation.
Seramenth practice black metal from Helsinki, channeling the genre's dark intensity from the Finnish capital. Formed in 2019, they bring fresh darkness to Helsinki's established black metal scene.
